The winners were Starship Troopers, rebroadcast on January 14, 2016 and The Room, rebroadcast on January 28, 2016.
On December 1, 2016, RiffTrax rebroadcast two of their previous RiffTrax Live Christmas shows, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and Christmas Shorts-stravaganza!, under the title "The RiffTrax Holiday Special Double Feature".
