RiffTrax Live: Birdemic

The experience is not unlike inviting a bunch of friends over to watch bad movies.  The difference here is that the screen is 40′ tall, you have 300 friends and you don’t know any of their names.  It’s some of the purest, simplest fun you’ll ever have in a theater, hands down.
