Satirical stop-motion supergeeks Seth Green and Matt Senreich are hitting the road to rep the DVD release of Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II, out July 21. But their hot wheels will actually be on their feet.
"When Seth first pitched the idea of throwing roller skating parties around the country, I rolled my eyes and laughed at him," Senreich said in a press release on the Robot Chicken on Wheels tour, which commences July 25 in San Diego during Comic-Con International and concludes Aug. 14 in New York. "I said, 'That's crazy talk.' Now that we're actually going to do it, I'm in awe of its absurdity."
The dynamic duo hosts the series of showcases, which begin at 8 p.m. and are free to the public. Loyalists who want to get in an hour early can find entry vouchers inside the new DVD, which contains 15 minutes of footage that somehow made its way to the cutting-room floor.
Also attending are Robot Chicken writers, producers and celebrity pals, as well as rock-hop upstart Gym Class Heroes. Green and Senreich will hand out Robot Chicken and Adult Swim swag. To top off the goof-off, Adult Swim will air the final nine new episodes of Robot Chicken's fourth season starting July 26. Stoopid monkeys never had it so good.
