Extended Preview for our new riff on RoboCop: The TV Show!

Hello, Traxians!

We're back again on another Friday (can you even believe it?) with another new release on the RiffTrax website. It's a follow-up to a popular movie franchise, because who doesn't love  cheap TV cash grab--er, productions based on big Hollywood blockbusters?

When that guy in the movie said “I’d buy that for a dollar!” he was talking about the show’s effects budget.

RoboCop’s wife and son think he's dead, and he doesn’t want to tell them that he’s not, because have you seen how many games youth soccer teams play these days?? He can’t be driving all over town to drop the kid off every day! Not with all that RoboCopping he has to do!

Meanwhile, a mad scientist is attempting to take over Motor City by using a Siri-esque virtual assistant to control the town’s elevators. His mission? To make it very clear to audiences why we never got a fourth movie.

Enjoy the first 5 minutes in the player above, and get the full riff right here. And for a limited time, use the coupon code PUDFACE ("pud" is short for "pudding" it turns out, and it's the name of one of the bad guys, whose face kinda resembles pudding?) at checkout on rifftrax.com to receive an additional 5% discount.

You can also download this Extended Preview video by clicking here to the video page on Vimeo and clicking the download button at the bottom of the page. (Vimeo changed how these links get provided to us, huzzah!)

We also ran another in our semi-regular caption contests for Ultra Traxians earlier this week. Here's the image, followed by the winning RoboCaption, provided by user Rojojojo:

"The two agreed never to speak of what they saw in Zordon's browser history."

We're sending Rojojojo a box of swag from RiffTrax HQ. Enjoy!

Back with more soon. Have a good weekend, Traxians!

EDIT: After publishing this product and going through the available images, I just had to add one more screengrab. This is one that I almost used for the caption contest linked above as well. It's the face of our TV RoboCop, and come on. How could you say no to that face??

What's he thinking here? Let us know in the comments!
