Howdy, Drippers!
Our live KRULL riff is today, and with it we're premiering a brand-spanking new RiffTones tune, "Krull! The Legendary Theme Song". Kevin Murphy wrote the music, and Michael J. Nelson sings! As a Drip exclusive bonus, please enjoy the score of its melody, complete with lyrics. (And if you're a musician, we'd love to hear your version!)

Hello, DripTraxians!
We had our first Drip Live stream a little while ago, in anticipation of tomorrow's RiffTrax Live event! Here's the video for those of you who missed the live stream. And we'll see you at KRULL tomorrow!

Hello everyone, Conor Lastowka here.
Every time we do a live show, Sean and I come up with a few dozen slides that run during the pre-show. As I said in a previous post, these are the ONLY aspects of our business here at RiffTrax that are subject to an external Standards and Practices department, and every show, we are surprised to see what we are not (and what we are) allowed to put in the pre-show. H...

A little while back, The RiffTones created an end credits theme song for our live Space Mutiny show called "Mutiny of Love."
Before the song had even been written, I asked Kevin if he'd be able to film himself during the process - specifically, while recording various instruments and vocal parts.
He came through in spades, and our video editor Tony Masiello cut together this awes...

Hello, Drip. Mike Nelson here.
I know; you saw the title of our most recent RiffTrax Movie, A Talking Cat!?! and thought to yourself, “Is that the movie about cheese puffs?”
Well, yes, of course it’s mostly about cheese puffs, but don’t let that distract you from the distinct visual style the directo...

Hello DripTraxians!
Bridget and Mary Jo are here to talk about our latest riff, SHE! It's a 1930s adventure about a group of explorers who stumble upon the ancient lost city of Kor. There, they meet an immortal queen who mistakes the group's leader for her long-lost love. What could go wrong?
It was Ray Harryhausen's favorite movie, and Legend Films — which used to be RiffTrax's parent...

Hiya folks,
Erik here! Last month we were in Nashville for our 26th RiffTrax Live event, SPACE MUTINY.
I was lucky enough to fly out and be part of the crew once more, taking videos as well as photos for the goodies page.
Our resident video guy, Casey June, couldn't make it due to a family wedding; so, I thought I'd help by shooting as much behind-the-scenes footage as I could, which I've cut toge...

Today's release is The Dark, a movie that originally was your typical poorly-lit 1970s crime thriller, until some executive decided it needed a science fiction-y creature that shoots laser beams out of its eyes. It stars William Devane and radio's Casey Kasem (also known as ...

Greetings, DripTraxians, from Music City: Nashville, Tennesee!
There are less than 24 hours until we launch RiffTrax Live: SPACE MUTINY into hundreds of theaters around the country. And since this is a film that's been subject to riffing before, we had some thoughts on it after seeing it again in all its cheesy sci-fi glory.

Howdy Dripsters,
Due to technical issues, today's episode of Talkin' DripTrax is audio only! Hope you don't mind.
Our subject today is the 1960s kaiju flick, Gammera the Invincible, which just got riffed and released on the site.

Howdy, DripTraxians!
Your most recent Internet Friend Erik here with another update for you. We have a new shorts DVD collection on the horizon, and this time it's "The Walking Dead" themed! (The shorts run the gamut, as per usual.)
I recently received the DVD box art proof to review, and thought it might be fun if our resident artist Jason Martin broke down how he did such a great job of turning the riffers into characters from the show.

Howdy folks,
Your future friend Erik here with a special message on this 4/20 (or "20th April", depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on).
Since today is typically used as an excuse for making "marihuana" puns, I thought it might be fun to show something that few have seen until now.

Hi DripTrax people!
Mary Jo and I just riffed Junior Prom - a 1940s teen film "drama" in which all the actors are clearly in their 30s.
The beautiful Noel Neill (Lois Lane) is the nerd, and there is a really cool segment toward the beginning featuring jazz pianist Eddie Haywood. Then the ...

Part of my job here at RiffTrax is that of Art Director — which is mostly about making sure that the visual identity of the company, including the website, DVD box art, product and live show posters, Preview clip thumbnails, etc., stays "on brand," for lack of a better term.
