  • Movie Riffing at B-Fest: an Exploration of Unscripted In-Theater Audience Participation As Embodied Performance of Film Criticism
    . Volume 18, Issue 1 May 2021 Movie riffing at B-Fest: An exploration of unscripted in-theater audience participation as embodied performance of film criticism Matt Foy, Upper Iowa University, USA Abstract: An increasingly rich area of interest in audience and media studies is the cultural practice of movie riffing: the performance of verbally or physically responding to a film with conspicuously critical and/or humorous observations. Riffing, a model of media consumption innovated and popularized by the cult television program Mystery Science Theater 3000, is a prominent feature of participatory audiencing rituals by which filmgoers and fan communities publicly engage in struggle over the meaning and value of mediated texts. Drawing on scholarship from cult audience, cultural and performance studies, this essay explores the state of ritual movie riffing at B-Fest, Northwestern University’s long- running annual twenty-four-hour celebration of ‘bad movies’ and the culture surrounding their public consumption. After riffing alongside B-Fest’s enthusiastic attendees, the author presents rhetorical strategies and discursive themes from B-Fest and considers movie riffing as a participatory, communal model of media criticism. Keywords: movie riffing, audiencing rituals, cult audiences, midnight movies One need only gaze across the landscape of McCormick Auditorium on the final weekend of January to know the attendees of B-Fest take their bad movies seriously. By 6:00 p.m. Friday each of McCormick’s 200-plus seats will be occupied with festival attendees and their belongings: winter coats, backpacks, blankets and pillows, knotted plastic grocery sacks of provisions, and hundreds of thin white paper plates.

  • Here When It’S Put Online Is More up to Date Than If We Were Like Other Mags That Unavoidably Have to Go to the Printers a Couple of Weeks Before Getting in the Shops
    Page 2 Welcome to the first ever edition of Piledriver Online. Some of you will already be familiar with this publication as it has previously been available at shows and on subscription but now it has a new home on the internet in full colour and I sincerely hope you all enjoy this debut edition. So what’s different about Piledriver Online? Well, using this format one main difference is that the information here when it’s put online is more up to date than if we were like other mags that unavoidably have to go to the printers a couple of weeks before getting in the shops. We also have more pages and give plenty of coverage to UK wrestling, have more news coverage, more interviews and a look back at the history of professional wrestling home and abroad. Oh and of course it’s free to read! We will soon be launching Piledriver Plus and that will give you more news, competitions and features that will not appear in the main magazine all for just ten pounds a year (current subscribers need not apply). More about that at www.pildedriver-online.co.uk soon, oh and don’t forget to join our forums and if you’re interested in advertising with us at incredibly cheap rates and in full colour just go to our website for more details. We’re just weeks away from Wrestlemania now and the card is gradually taking shape, in fact the two main title matches were confirmed even before ‘No Way Out’ took place on February 18th which isn’t always the case as that PPV usually has a match to determine who gets a title shot at Wrestlemania and it’s not that long ago since the WWE title even changed hands at that PPV when Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar.
