On January 15th, 2009 at 6:00 PM PST, RiffTrax will host the first in a series of live web shows, aimed at providing fans across the world with the opportunity to participate in a free version of the company's popular RiffTrax Live! events.

Jan. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Feeding off the company's successful RiffTrax Live! events in California, RiffTrax has announced their intention to bring the popular format to fans across the country and the world over the internet, courtesy of their partner, uStream.tv.

The inaugural RiffTrax Live! webcast will begin on January 15th, 2009 at 6:00 PM PST on the RiffTrax website, and will be freely available to anyone who wishes to participate in this historic event.

The evening's format will be familiar to fans of the website. Headlining the event will be the creative masterminds behind television's cult sensation, Mystery Science Theater 3000. The show's stars and lead writers--Michael J. Nelson, and --will add their humorous, sarcastic and mocking commentary to a short film from 1951, "Self-Conscious Guy," as live audiences watch and listen along with them. Afterwords, fans will be able to participate in a question-and-answer session with the three comedians.

RiffTrax plans to make these live broadcasts a regular occurrence, citing the internet's ability to effectively reach the website's disparate fanbase and to provide a free alternative to an in-person production. Contingent on the success of the inaugural broadcast, RiffTrax hopes that this new delivery medium will enable them to host live events with greater frequency in the future.

For those unable to attend, a recording of material used in the digital event will be available for download immediately following its conclusion.

More information is available on the company's website, RiffTrax.com, as well as through social media like Facebook and Myspace.
