Hello DripTraxians!
In honor of this week's RiffTrax Live, we thought we'd treat you to an exclusive bit from our 25th live show: Doctor Who - The Five Doctors. Featured in the clip above is the full live riffing of the short "Play Safe" which taught us the incredibly important lesson to not run into active power lines. Sure, it's s...

Hello everyone!
Erik here with another edition of Talkin' DripTrax! Today, the guys are driving around town discussing last week's release, The Girl from Rio.
It's a 70s "spy-fi" movie about the scantily-clad women of the island nation of Femina, and their plot to take over the world, of course. Attempting to stop th...

Hello once again, DripTraxians!
We have a very special episode of the 'cast here for you today. This one was recorded LIVE in the RiffTrax office just hours after hitting our 2019 Kickstarter goal. So naturally we discussed basket weaving, the finer points of pickling, and shuffleboard.
In all seriousness, Sean Thomason was gracious enough to lend me some of his time to talk about the 2019-09-12 20:43:49 +0000 UTC View Post

Howdy folks, Kevin Murphy here.
Here at RiffTrax, we pride ourselves on delivering the most for your silliness dollar. This means we occasionally need to cut scenes from some of our titles, for dirtiness, naughtiness, talkiness, utter boringness, and occasionally because a movie tries to be funny and fails, miserably. Poor, dumb movie.
Case in point: In our recent release, the Seventi...

Hello Driptraxians! Conor here. I spent a long time watching movies today that were NOT Trucker’s Woman, and though they were OK, maybe even amusing, they left me with a yearning for the beaded seat cushion-y tale of a Trucker and (presumably) his Woman.
Possibly the first movie ever to feature an actual decade (The 70s) in a co-starring role, Trucker’s Womanoffers up a lot:

But what I discovered last night simultaneously blew my mind and deligh...
