This past Friday we released a long-awaited, much-requested, and highly anticipated Just the Jokes riff for an 80s cheesefest starring none other than Sylvester Stallone: COBRA!
When you create two franchises as iconic and grunty as Rambo and Rocky, you can do whatever you like in Hollywood. Sylvester Stallone chose to cut his pizza with scissors in Cobra. This uncon... 2023-05-15 22:29:49 +0000 UTC View Post
Howdy, Traxians! Erik here.
It's with an iron heart that I present to you the latest installment of Talkin' RiffTrax! This time, the guys are talkin' about our most recent release from this past Friday, Ironheart. It's got it all!

Greetings, Traxians!
We know you love riffs on martial arts movies. We love 'em, too - especially when the movie contains copious amounts of driving scenes.
But we noticed, among all these movies we've riffed where the main characters drive endlessly, we noticed that there's a startling lack of showing where these characters park their previously-driven automobiles. "Just how did they end up here???" we ask (more times than we're comfortable admitting).

Hi there, Traxians!
After finishing the recording session for Apex Predators, the guys stuck around to talk a little bit more about it. Because they still had questions as to whether it even qualifies as a movie. So let's "dive" in, shall we?

Howdy, Traxians!
It's time for another RiffTrax "drop" - and this time, it's the movie quality that's also dropping! The new B-movie Riff we JUST released is of a little movie - if you can even call it that - called Apex Predators, And worse yet, it's unfortunately not about cats, but sharks!

In a plot line that sounds vaguely familiar, a theme park filled with robots, and things go slightly awry!
Nyah, see? It’s a world full of gangsters, see? But the gangsters, they’re all robots, see? Nyah, bleep blorp bloop, nyah, robots, see? Take a gander at Gangster World, it’ll be a gas, see?

The boys are back, talkin' 'bout The Bad Pack!
That's right, as always the Riffing Crew of Mike, Kevin, and Bill continued talking into their microphones, with a camera this time, after they finished recording their latest B-movie riff. They found even more good stuff to sink their teeth into, including the strangely stacked cast, Robert Davi's album of Sinatra covers, and the movie's oddly timed "Her...

Hello, dear Traxians, and welcome to the weekend. Today we released a new Bridget and Mary Jo riff, but this podcast is talkin' about the one before that, Mary Higgins Clark's I'll Be Seeing You. It took me a bit longer than expected to edit this one down - we chatted a bit longer than normal; we had a lot to say about this one! It has also been a while since I sat down with Bridget and Mary Jo to record an episode of the podcast, so perhaps we were trying to make up for los...

Erik here with a sneak peek just for you. This time, it's the shirt design for our 2023 "Exclusive backer shirt" Kickstarter reward, drawn by frequent Kickstarter shirt designer contributor (and shirt.woot regular) Adam "ApeLad" Koford.
The image above is the concept sketch Adam sent us, which is pretty much classic Koford: he always finds a great way to insert Mike, Kevin, and Bill into the "theme" of the year's live event(s), and this one is no ...

Sadly, there's no Martin Short in this one, but the lady who played Kramer's mom is! The riffers discuss the drab rooms, how the giant fish monster compares to Octaman (you can never have too many "guy in a rubber suit" monsters to scream at), and more. Enjoy!

Unspeakable horrors lurk deep beneath the surface of the ocean. Namely, middle-aged 1960s schlubs changing into too-tight scuba gear. You may think we’re weird for leading off with that, as it’s not really a selling point for a movie. Well, tell that to the makers of Destination Inner Space, who evidently thought it was compelling enough to d... 2023-01-20 23:14:04 +0000 UTC View Post
