Hello, Traxians!
Erik back with you again. And, with our first release of 2026 - yes, it's here already! That's right, we are wasting NO time getting back into the ring. But isn't it about time we just got BEYOND The Ring? Yes, it is!
Andre is a retired MMA fighter who’s left the ring behind for a life of domestic tranquility and staring at trashcans. That second one&n...

Greetings, all you Traxians out there!
Your oldest Internet pal Erik here.
It's been quite a year - another blockbuster Kickstarter campaign letting us finally give Timecop the RiffTrax treatment, Wizards of the Lost Kingdom making its way back into our catalog (and upgraded to full HD to boot!), the launch of Best Friends, and let's not forget the guy...

Erik here, and a happy New RiffTrax Friday to you!
This one's an absolute doozy - a 1970's thriller starring William Shatner as a (spoiler alert!) serial-killing conman who sleazily sleazes his way from one victim to the next. Talk about playing against type!
Here's a bit of the synopsis:
One of the most infamous entries in Shatner’s packed-with-infamy career, Impulse has the good Captain play a serial-killing conma...

Apparently, Richard Kiel stars in this DEFINITELY NOT A RIP-OFF to some other sci-fi movie to come out in the late 1970s called Star Wars. Hmmm... I'm just not seeing it!
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a movie called Star Wars was released. Within minutes, other filmmakers around the globe begin making their own ripoffs–er, homages! Respectful homages! High among these shameless endeavors ranks The Humanoid...

Greetings, Traxians! Erik here.
It is with a not-too-unusual sense of joy that I bring you this very, very special edition of Talkin' RiffTrax. Why is it so special? Well, GetEven (an alternative title for this cult classic) is a movie I actually got to "screen" with Mike Nelson wayyyy back in the 2010s, and which unfortunately at that time was given a "no." Suffice to say it is one of my favorite memories of being a RiffTrax Employee that I got to wat...

I've personally had to sleep in a run-down hotel right next to the airport after Delta overbooked the flight I was taking to see family across the country, nearly ruining everything... and we all know MKB have several running jokes about United/Delta/Spirit Airlines, but what's the worst flight you've ever endured?

Happy Halloween! AND a Happy Friday!
Since today is the best day in all of the spooky season, we present to you a properly spooky movie: Mirror Mirror 2: Raven Dance! Why is it spooky, you ask? Well, because someone thought Mirror Mirror 2 really needed a sequel, and even spookier - it got made! (Turns out there are actually FOUR movies in the franchise. Scaaaaarrryyyyyyy!)

Today we release unto the world a brand-new (to us!) riff on a horror movie from the 1940s called The Face of Marble. Bridget and Mary Jo bring a couple "stiff upper lips" (on account of them being made of marble) and riff this one for your enjoyment. Get it here!
Here are the first five minutes just for you. We'll be back with more soon. Have a great weekend!

This past Friday, we released a brand new riff featuring a brand new island! Maybe a better title would be, "Formerly Unknown Island" — because we know about it now, thanks to this movie! The mind reels!
Anyway, here's part of the synopsis from our writers:

Nine years ago we released a take on Wizards of the Lost Kingdom, the NOT-Star Wars movie about a whiny kid wizard who takes on an evil empire. And, sadly, it wasn't in the catalog for very long before we had to take it down for reasons which are, like the kingdom itself, lost to the sands of time.
Huzzah! Fear not, for I have good news that comes in two!

September is the traditional month of school starting up again after summer - a fact that still pains many of us even decades later. But that doesn’t have to mean complete misery! For example, RiffTrax has a long history of hilarious short movies about hapless kids dealing with every kid’s purgatory: school.

One of the things we absolutely love doing at the end of any RiffTrax Live event is hearing what people thought of the show. It's always gratifying to see smiling faces, too, so we thought, "Why not show some of them? IF they'll verbally agree to be on camera, that is!" And wouldn't you know it, a bunch of folks did!
Conor is a naturally talented writer as well as interviewer, so here are several minutes of him talking...

Hey there, Traxians! Erik here.
The next RiffTrax Live show, TIMECOP, is currently in pre-production - these things take a surprising amount of time and effort to make, and we have already been working in some capacity on many of the details since as early as February.
In that vein, of the first (and most loved) things we usually put together are the pre-show slides; for that reason, these feel like a true "kick-off" for the live show pre-production process in ev...

Hmmm, I guess every day could be a RiffTrax Day, if you think about it.
Anyways, this week's release is a Fred Olen Ray joint. If that name rings a bell, it's because he's also responsible for Fugitive Rage, The Alien Dead, Rapid Assault, and a whole bunch of other cinematic nuggets that look like they'd be perfect for us to tackle.
