Howdy, Traxians! And happy new year!
Erik here bringing you a new Extended Preview! The last MP3 riff of 2022 is the first Patreon preview of 2023! While I personally loved this movie (and the first four books), it's known that the trio of Mike, Kevin, and Bill have a special ability for making pretty much any movie - even good ones - funny. And this Extended Preview shows that this is still the case with one of the biggest movies of the past year, 2023-01-04 18:28:03 +0000 UTC

Last week we released our last VOD riff of 2022, and the latest in the pantheon of "insane Christmas movies," The Monster's Christmas!
It's the rare non-Hobbit-based movie made in New Zealand that does much to showcase the landscape of that country and its many sulfurous ponds. Quite possibly the most New Zealand-y movie we've riffed yet, the guys stuck around after recording the riff ...

Howdy, Traxians! Apologies for the delay in posting this, but we've got another installment of Talkin' RiffTrax for your weekend enjoyment!
We still don't know for sure whether the Eliminator is the project, or if projects themselves are being eliminated - but Project Eliminator has David Carradine, a confusing 90s action plot, and really, what else do you need besides those two e...

Hello, Traxians!
It's time for another installment of Hangin' Out With RiffTrax!
The riffers got together on Zoom on December 14 to talk about one of our absolute favorite traditions: the madness that is our riffing on holiday movies and shorts.
Super and Ultra Traxians were able to participate in a live Q&A at the end of the stream, and the video is now available for all Traxians. Watch it in the player above or download it 2022-12-11 16:50:32 +0000 UTC

Greetings and salutations, Traxians!
This week, we're bringing a brand new RiffTrax B-movie video release, and this one's got it all: drifters, robotic weapons, and more Carradines than you can shake a stick at: Project Eliminator!
Project Eliminator is a David Carradine movie that features a flying robotic weapon, but somehow isn’t part of the Future Force

If you think you know everything about Street Law, think again!
The guys are here to talk about this movie, the context clues indicating whether someone in it is good or bad, how much of street law just involves punching people, and more!

Another Friday, another RiffTrax release! Brand new to the site, it's Street Law!
Jeff Wincott is a former marine, amateur kickboxer, and also an occasional participant in the shirtless war games put on by a local tribe for which he does pro bono work. As his life spirals out of control, he finds himself fired, evicted, and penniless. Along the way he helps a ...

The boys are back to revisit Robot Monster, a movie that made it to the list of "worst movie endings of all time!" In this episode of Talkin' RiffTrax, they talk about the movie's pronunciations of the word "robot," its use of lizard footage as dinosaur stand-ins, and the minute differences between the costumes of Ro-man and Great Guidance.
Enjoy, won't you?

This past Friday, we released a brand new riff on a "classic" scifi movie: Robot Monster! Here are the first five minutes, just for Traxians.
There should not be so much to laugh about in a movie where seven billion people die.
But you gotta admit, when the extinction of humanity is perpetrated by a guy in a rented gorilla suit who owns a bubble machine: that’s pretty darn funny. That furry rascal got us good!

It's time for another installment of Hangin' Out with RiffTrax!

Hi there, Traxians! Erik here.
To talk about their return to riffing after a few years away, I recently chatted with long-time contributors to the RiffTrax Presents catalog, Cole Stratton and Janet Varney, about their newest release: LADYHAWKE! We discuss everything from Matthew Broderick's attempt at a British accent, to the bombastic Alan Parsons score, riffing on movies they love, writing deep cuts, and more.<...

When it comes to horror movies from the 80s “Satanic panic” era, Hack-O-Lantern’s got it all.
Hack-O-Lantern’s got promiscuous teens. Hack-O-Lantern’s got a hair metal band with dry ice and lasers. Hack-O-Lantern even has actual Satanists, including a Satanic grandpa who lectures his progeny about not being into Satan enough, saying folksy stuff like, “You’re enough to try the patience of Satan!”

Boo, Traxians! Boo! I say!
Indeed, Spooky Season is in full swing, and that means it's time for the spookiest Turkey Thursday yet! (Although let's be honest, there's not much scarier than watching a Baldwin brother try to act.)
For our October Turkey Thursday subject, I thought we would revisit the age-old trope of the zombie. Not the Mutant-style zombie, but the Zombie

Our long-time RiffTrax Presents riffers are back! That's right, Cole Stratton and Janet Varney have returned after 7 years to bring you a brand new riff on a hunk of 80s cheese: Ladyhawke! It stars Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer doing their best not to embarrass Matthew Broderick, whose accent fluctuates more than the movie's tone!&nb...

Are ready for Blood Harvest season? We are! Mike, Kevin, and Bill stuck around after recording our most recent Digital Video B-movie release to talk more about it.

Of course, the clown is played by Tiny Tim (ukulele & adu...

Hello, Traxians!
Mike, Kevin, and Bill are back with another episode of Talkin' RiffTrax! Finally, in this entry in the Fu Manchu franchise, we learn more about the man himself. Specifically, his blood! Or, the lack thereof.
They also talk about hats, who the REAL hero is, and the various ways Fu dispatches others. Enjoy! You can watch this Talkin' RiffTrax in the streaming player above, or download it 2022-09-21 20:23:11 +0000 UTC

As someone who enjoys watching hot garbage fling its way to the big screen, I, too, sat and watched this abomination in theaters, hoping against hope that Mike, Kevin, and Bill would treat us to a riff on another musical adaptation. I'm very glad that this day is finally here.

Hiya, Traxians! Erik here.
Not to be confused with Cannibals World, the Florida theme park which may be linked to the Ice Cream Bunny's origin story somehow. (I've seen too many nature documentaries.)
It's an Italian horror schlockfest filled with your favorites: unrealistic arm-eating, 1970s cultural sensitivity, and of course, terrible dubbing. Get the movie 2022-08-26 19:34:56 +0000 UTC
