RiffTrax and "Weird Al" Yankovic Mock Rudolph on the Big Screen

Unless you’re one of the six people who thought Jingle All the Way was a good movie, chances are, when you see hokey Christmas flicks, you crack jokes to yourself or the similarly-sarcastic folks around you. Well, this Christmas, you’ll be in good company.

On Dec. 16, the wise-cracking RiffTrax crew will take on “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and an assortment of other already-hilarious Christmas shorts and commercials. Best of all, they’ll broadcast the whole thing live to 480 theaters across the country.

Called RiffTrax Live: Christmas Shorts-Stravaganza, the broadcast will find Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett adding their usual pop-culture skewering commentary to familiar Christmas classics. And they’ve invited another master of satire, “Weird Al” Yankovic, to help them out.

The quartet will be recording live from the California Center for the Arts, and you can laugh along from any of these theaters. An encore screening will go down the very next day.
