Hey guys! My name is Rikk Wolf and I produce a comedy series entitled Incognito Cinema Warriors XP. We got our start as a humble little tribute to Mystery Science Theater 3000. We’ve managed to carve out a nice little niche in the riffing community.
We’re in the process of choosing the film we’ll riff for our Season 2 finale and we want to pick something really special. We’re very interested in Slipstream.
However, we’re sick of upscaling already terrible looking digital rips of already terrible prints of films to 1080p.
To the point - I know a guy. He’s restored films MUCH older than Slipstream to HD and now even 4K resolution. I can’t promise he’d be interested but I can ask and I’m sure he would at least advise to some degree.
My question to you cats is, if we were able to get our hands on a print, would you have interest in backing a Kickstarter to get an HD (or better) version of Slipstream out there?
I know some people don’t “get” making fun of a movie as a sign of affection, so I’ll understand if this sounds bizarre but we would of course make versions available WITHOUT our snarky commentary. In fact, our riffed version would be an entirely separate release, should this ever come to past.
Just putting the feelers out to gauge interest and my research into the film led me here.
