Bridget and Mary Jo are back with another Sherlock Holmes riff!
It’s double-ya double-ya two and Sherlock once again faces off against Professor Moriarty - with nothing less than the future of England at stake!
Holmes must crack a secret - but cute - code to prevent Moriarty from selling an extremely accurate bomb sight to the Nazis (we hate those guys).
Greetings, Traxians! RiffTron Productions is back with an important PSA.
During times of hardship, it's essential to take care of one's mental health. And to do that, there's nothing better than maintaining a regular routine.
In this educational short film, we'll show you one way in which Good Citizen Bridget maintains hers.
Enjoy!

Hi folks,
Erik here! Thanks to all of you who helped us beta test our Zoom "rehearsal" this past Monday. By all accounts it was way more successful than the first one (heh heh.... heh) — and we recorded it!
So, without further ado, and for those of you who were unable to make it, I'm pleased to present to you the video recording of this latest rehearsal and Q&A session.&nbs...

Happy Friday, folks! Erik here with a brand-spankin' new Just the Jokes riff to complete your newest Star Wars Trilogy and kick off your weekend.
If you were a backer of last year's Kickstarter campaign (for 2019), and backed us at the $75 "ALL 3 LIVE SHOWS" tier, then you're getting this one for free, and it should be in your Library already. Otherwise, you can head to the product page...

Hello there, folks. Kevin Murphy here.
Wow. We really enjoyed the earnest dumbness of this film, chock full of Hollywood C-grade entertainers and stock TV actors who look a lot like Actual Stars (I’m talking to Karl Malden Guy right now). But this movie hits every 80’s button there is to hit, and then some. The only thing missing is Bad White Rap.
We had a lot of fun with this one and when we h...

Hi there Traxians,
Erik here with our latest Extended Preview for a riff that was teased a little while back: Lovely But Deadly. It's your standard 80s high school drug movie made by people who have never heard of high school, drugs, or the 80s. And it's freshly available to buy over on the site. (I should know, I ...

Since we're all stuck inside together as our society collectively deals with the COVID-19 coronavirus, a few of my favorite works on this sort of subject sprang to mind, and I wanted to record my thoughts on them for you.
I hope this audio dispatch helps make your self-quarantine a tiny bit more enjoyable.

Hi folks, Erik here.
With all that's going on in the world right now, we're extremely grateful to be able to do what we do, and provide some much-needed laughter during these uncertain times. Luckily, most of us already work from home, and so we're putting our heads together to come up with more great stuff for our Patrons, like extra exclusive content, Watch Parties, and more. Look for those updates from us very soon. And, if there's anything specific you'd love for us to try, feel fre...

Hey Traxians,
Here's a little sneak peak into the script review process. Sometimes, a movie is so baffling we have to stop it and discuss.
In this video, Mike, Conor and I break down a classroom rock concert scene in a high school drug thriller called Lovely But Deadly, coming soon to a RiffTrax.com near you! If the phrase "classroom rock concert scene in a high school drug thriller" confuses you, don't worry, the clip and the movie itself will only leave you mo...

Hi folks,
Erik here with a new Extended Preview for the latest riff from Bridget and Mary Jo, Lady Mobster!
Multiple Daytime Emmy also-ran Susan Lucci stars as the orphaned Laurel, who is adopted by a mobster family after her parents are murdered by hitmen. But being a high-powered attorney with a fine 80s wardrobe isn’t enough for this little lady!

Velvet Smooth. She’s foxy. She’s funky. She’s sexy. She’s a little clumsy when it comes to quips and martial arts. But she's a private eye who fights for justice… I think, at least for a certain class of criminal.
Anyway, she seems very nice, and is by far the most pleasant person in this madhouse of a movie. But it’s a lot of fun, with some jaw-droppingly bad performances and utterly silly action scenes.
Folks, if you want the perfect romantic dinner/movi...

Hey folks,
Mike, Kevin and Bill recorded our newest riff, Hijacked: Flight 285 a week or so ago (we typically receive their individual audio files several days prior to the release date, so we have time to edit them together, QC the results, and then prepare it for release).
Hijacked is a surprisingly star-studded Made-for-TV Movie, featuring the least-believable terrorist in fi...

Erik here. And I have to say... WOWZA! As you are no doubt aware, on Wednesday we launched our Kickstarter campaign for this year's slate of live events, and you all crushed our expectations. The campaign was fully funded after only being live for 19 hours, and we're pretty sure that's a new record for us.2020-02-22 00:17:58 +0000 UTC

Hi folks,
Erik here to kick off your weekend direct-to-video style with another Extended Preview. This time, for a movie riff that I feel is best explained in this single line from our product copy:
Lorenzo Lamas stars as a Bounty Tracker in the movie Bounty Tracker.

Hello, Patreon subscribers! Bill here with another audio dispatch for you.
Since we were just chatting about running bits in our last audio episode (specifically, Mr. "Nick Nolte"), I thought it would be fun to discuss even more of the recurring characters and their voices which we tend to invoke in various RiffTraxes (RiffTraxi?).
Thanks and enjoy!

Greetings, human Traxian people! Erik here.
I come to you with a movie riff OF THE FUTURE: the tomorrow after tomorrow. Which I guess makes it... Sunday?
Anyhoo, I just hit the "Publish" button on our latest riff, The Shape of Things to Come, loosely based on the H.G. Wells novel "Things to Come" and starring an excessive amount of Jack Palance. (See a hilarious clip of him in our previous "Riff Review" post, 2020-01-31 18:08:58 +0000 UTC View Post
