The RiffTrax crew—Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett, all veterans of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 tradition—bring their signature brand of live movie heckling to The Beverly Theater for a screening of the creature-feature schlock classic "Sting of Death." Expect the guys to sit through this low-budget monster movie (something about a killer jellyfish man terrorizing beachgoers) and fire off a nonstop stream of jokes, one-liners, and absurd observations at its expense.
For anyone who grew up on MST3K or has since discovered RiffTrax's brand of comedic movie riffing, this is the same formula that's kept bad cinema entertaining for decades: smart, silly commentary layered over a film that probably deserves every bit of mockery it gets. The Beverly Theater's intimate 150-seat setup makes for a good fit, letting the audience laugh along together in a way that's hard to replicate watching alone at home. Bring a taste for B-movies and a willingness to laugh at deep-sea rubber monster suits, and the evening should deliver plenty of chuckles.
