Oh hi, Traxians! Let's do a Turkey Thursday, huh?
Please join me tomorrow, September 9th at 3:30 pm Pacific / 6:30 pm Eastern at this link for a watch party of The Little Unicorn!

Bridget and Mary Jo stopped by my virtual recording studio to chat about their latest riff, Before I Say Goodbye, which is another made-for-TV movie adaptation of a Mary Higgins Clark novel. Exciting stuff!
We talk about the movie, and digress into such salient points as exposition, spoiler alerts, and 90s haircuts. Enjoy!

Erik here, hoping you'll come by for another Turkey Thursday!
This week, I'll be screening the early James Nguyen movie attempt, Replica. (We also released it Unriffed as part of our deal with him, but watching any of his movies sans jokes is not something I'd want to put our dear Traxians through.)

Howdy, Traxians! Your old pal Erik here.
I'm back in the saddle from Nashville, having successfully completed out 31st live show - Hobgoblins! It was a hoot and a half, but I'm very much glad to be home.
So, as promised, please join me for another Turkey Thursday in 48 hours from now: OMEGA COP! I haven't seen this one, but given how any movie with "Cop" in the title tends to be cheesy goodness, I'm sure we're in for a treat.

Hello Traxillanians. Kevin here. In this spirited round, we continue with (finish off / become nauseated by) our self-proclaimed two-movie SUMMER OF ESTEVEZ, with Baby Ghost.
Now, it may already be obvious to you that we’ve been putting off this title for quite some time, all the while being egged on by our own Conor Lastowka to do this companion piece to Rollergator, another ree...
2021-08-12 21:38:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Traxians!
This Thursday I'll be hosting yet another Turkey for your enjoyment! I think the title and concept of this one feels very much like something the MST3K crew would have done during the Sci-Fi years. In Alien Outlaw, whip enthusiast Lash LaRue and his gun-slinging protégé must fight a group of invading aliens, who are also outlaws of some kind.

It's finally here! Baby Ghost, our latest VOD from the creator of Rollergator, and continuing our Summer of Joe Estevez.
After years of heated internal debate, weighing the ethical choices at hand, the pros and cons, the potential damage that could result for all mankind, we at RiffTrax have finally decided to release Baby Ghost, the spiritual successor to 2021-08-06 19:41:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello, Traxians! Erik here.
You've heard of Hot Turkey Sandwiches. You also probably heard of quitting "cold turkey." But have you ever seen a turkey that was Cool as Ice?
Tortured puns aside, this is one of my favorite riffs of all time, and one that I think is always worth a re-watch, So please join me on Thursday, August 5th at 3:30pm Pacific / 6:30pm Eastern for Cool as Ice - yes, the one starring Vanilla Ice! - over on Scener at this link
Hello Traxians,
Mike, Kevin, and Bill are back with their post-recording discussion of Plankton! They try to figure out whether it's more confusing or disgusting, whether talking clocks are common on cruises, and that very interesting bedside table lamp. Enjoy!

Picture a luxury yacht: helipad next to the hot tub. Gorgeous waitstaff. Laboratory full of unholy experimental sea monster hybrids. Top shelf bar. We all know the drill!
Fortunately, the unholy sea monsters are being kept in a state of suspended animation. (Fortunate for the producers, because it’s much cheaper to not have the sea monster puppets move.) Unfortunately, there’s one thing that awakens them: horny college students. And WOW does this boatload of drunken college...

Hi folks,
Kevin Murphy here.
Forget that this is a direct-to-cable sequel. Forget that Jean-Claude Van Damme is replaced without anyone batting an eyelash. Even forget that Gary Busey’s choppers are the most prominent thing on the screen, most of the time.
Instead, do what we do. Focus on Burt Reynolds.* More than that, focus, like the movie does, on Burt Reynolds’ mustachioed ambusher. Pay keen attention to Burt’s Dollar-Store-level Irish Accent; wonder why he n...

Hiya, Traxians!
Last week we officially kicked off the Summer Of Estevez, with the first of two movies "starring" the one and only Joe Estevez.
Immediately after recording the riff for this stinkburger, Mike, Kevin, and Bill talked to our Traxian camera about what they just saw. They discuss Joe's over-the-top performance versus the lack of anything resembling energy from his costars, and the dubious nature of their location shoots.
Enjoy, ...

In San Franpsycho (coming to the RiffTrax site tomorrow), Joe Estevez plays a detective in search of a murderin' psychopath who is loose on the streets of San Francisco. Just in case the title didn't make it obvious.
Bill dreamed up the lyrics, and Kevin wrote the music, to this unofficial theme song that's in the style of a 1930s jazz tune. It makes this thriller about a knife-wielding maniac just that much more enjoyable - and it's just for
Oh hai, Traxians! And oh hai, direct-to-video prequel to C-list 90s horror movie franchise!

Kevin Murphy here. We found ourselves in a conundrum about The Alien Dead. First of all, is it actually a movie?
