I’m Worried About Bill.

March 26th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 20 Comments

Folks, please join me in my concern for fellow Riffer Bill Corbett. A series of seemingly unrelated events has been strung together by his latest bizarre missive renouncing, of all things, bacon.
It started as a lark, a curiosity really; last Saturday morning when I was preparing to cook some lovely bacon, our pup Boomer began […]

ResembleFest Results…Fest.

February 20th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 24 Comments

First of all, thanks to all of you who feel that I may or may not resemble one person or another. Without you, this exercise would merely be annoying and self-indulgent. After asking you to suggest people that, in spite of my best efforts, I look nothing like, you sent in thousands (dozens) […]

I Am Not Randy Bachman. Period.

February 8th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 86 Comments

Okay, Let’s get something straight right away: I’m not, nor have I ever been, legendary rock guitarist Randy Bachman.
Never sang “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” Don’t know the words to “Let It Ride,” can barely fake it through “Got No Time.” I don’t play guitar very well at all. I’m not […]

Thank You San Francisco!

Thanks for making Rifftrax Live at the SF Sketchfest such a blast. We were treated like old friends by a sell-out crowd at the gorgeous Castro Theater. Many thanks to Sketchfest founders David Owen, Cole Stratton and Janet Varney and their team who work their keesters off to put on the best festival […]

George Lucas, Oliver Reed, Billy Joel and Me

January 9th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 10 Comments

It all started innocently enough with this:

After cultivating my resemblance to George Lucas, my fellow Riffers cruelly issued two fresh challenges. First, said Mike Nelson, “Are you up for a little Proximo?” referring to the role in Gladiator played by bawdy, boozing and deceased Sir Oliver Reed; then Bill Corbett added fuel to […]

George Lucas and Me

January 8th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 21 Comments

Since we’re heading to the Bay Area soon for another Rifftrax Live, I thought I’d better work on my George Lucas impression.

Hmm? What do you think? I know I need to work on the hair. The hair’s tough, believe me. I tried clown white, no dice, so I dodged it in […]

RiffTrax Live in San Francisco

December 11th, 2007 by Conor Lastowka · 10 Comments

RIFFTRAX LIVE - JANUARY 17TH AT THE CASTRO THEATER, SAN FRANCISCO

I still remember my first It’s-It. I had it for breakfast one morning on Fourth of July weekend, 2005. Other than embracing surly steroid abusers with a passion usually only displayed in Times Square on VJ-Day, they are perhaps the greatest San Francisco […]

“For those of you who weren’t able to meet the RiffTrax crew at ComicCon 2007 let me just say you missed […]

SFist Interviews: Michael J. Nelson of RiffTrax and MST3K

May 23rd, 2007 by torgosPizza · No Comments

The MST3K guys are still at it–they just aren’t trapped in space any more. In fact, Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy will be in San Francisco this weekend skewering a […]

There will be two shows around Memorial Day Weekend - Sunday the 27th […]
