Rutland-made cult classic film Time Chasers returns to theaters nationwide next week for a national RiffTrax Live event.

RiffTrax is a second-coming Mystery Science Theater 3000, where three comedians make fun of, usually cheesy, movies.

Time Chasers was made by Rutland’s Edgewood Studios in the early ’90’s and lampooned by MST3K in 1997, helping it become a nationally known cult classic.

The three riffers will watch and make fun of Time Chasers live in theaters across the country Thursday, May 5th with an encore rebroadcast Tuesday, May 17th, Palace 9 in South Burlington is the only local theater showing RiffTrax Live: Time Chasers.

Time Chasers director and Edgewood Studios founder David Giancola visited Local 44 News This Morning to talk about MST3K’s impact on Time Chasers, next week’s event and Edgewood Studios’ progress.
