Hello, current and soon-to-be Traxians! Erik the Web Guy here with an exciting update for you.
We're refreshing the Patreon merch that's available to Ultra Traxians, and this time, it's Live Show-related! It's also a Loyalty Program that gives you another super cool item throughout the year if you maintain your subscription.
You may recall the poll we held recently asking for your opinion on a Kickstart...

Happy RiffTrax Friday! It's time for Rapid Assault.
Submarines and sealabs, ahoy! Packed with all the straight to video action and bland mustachioed guys you’ve come to expect from a Fred Olen Ray joint, it’s Rapid Assault!
A terrorist builds a world-ending biological weapon in an abandoned sealab at the bottom of the ocean - presumably for tax purposes? ...

Hi folks! I'm queuing up the next Turkey Thursday title ahead of my upcoming weird April where I'll be gone for a couple of weeks, and I'm curious to know what you'd like to see more of. So your feedback and votes are requested!
I'll allow multiple selections so that I can keep the results in mind going forward. Let me know what your favorite Turkey-viewing methods are with this poll, and I'll refer to this down the road as we continue to schedule more Turkey Thursdays. The poll w...

Hello there, Super and Ultra Traxians!
We're well into the swing of March, so it's about time we got to this month's exclusive webinar! This time around, Mike, Kevin, Bill, Sean, and Conor played a game of DEFEND YOUR CHOICE (all caps required).
And the video of last week's Hangin' Out is now available to all Traxians. Watch in the player above or download it here

Hi Folks!
It's a last minute addition, but let's have a Turkey Thursday today! We'll start at 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern and go for about an hour. Use this super secret Patreon-only link to visit the Party page at that time, and click the Join button once it appears.
I'll host some shorts through Vimeo today! But coming soon I'm going to run another party through the RiffTrax ...

Hello, Traxians!
Mike, Kevin, and Bill are back to Talk RiffTrax! Specifically, the 2nd movie in the Max Havoc franchise, Ring of Bologna! They discuss some of what's in store from this movie — which a lot of us here at RiffTrax felt was a better movie than the first one, but that's not really saying much.
Enjoy!

Hiya, Traxians!
We just announced more stretch goals over on Kickstarter, and we need your help for more!
You probably know how frequently some movies get requested for us to riff, so we took some of the ones we know for sure would make great RiffTrax "Just the Jokes" titles - and we would love for you, dear ...

Hello, Traxians!
As part of our deal with the licensor of the first Max Havoc movie, we also were able to negotiate the rights for the sequel: Ring of Fire!
When we last saw Max Havoc, he was on a postcard-perfect beach in Guam, a supermodel hanging off one arm, a cold drink in the other. But one exotic locale and one gorgeous woman were never enough for Max...

Howdy, Traxians! Brand new to the site it's THINGS! It's a cult classic that we've gotten many, many requests for in the past, and we're pleased to say that it's here! And it's also quite possibly THE WORST "MOVIE" WE'VE EVER DONE.
It almost feels wrong to call Things a movie. Things is more of an experience. It opens with a basement nightmare — at least, we hope it’s a n...

Hi, Traxians!
Tomorrow, March 3rd is World Wildlife Day, and so I thought that perhaps we could celebrate with a special Turkey Thursday.
In just about 24 hours from now, join me as I spin a favorite wildlife-related riff. (I haven't decided which one quite yet...) I'll start the watch party at 3:30pm Pacific / 6:30pm Eastern. at this private Scener link.

Hello, Traxians! Tomorrow, I'll be streaming a Bridget & Mary Jo turkey in the form of the movie Rescue Me (not to be confused with the firefighter TV drama starring Denis Leary).
Rescue Me is a coming-of-age film about a high school loser, Fraser, who sets out to rescue his secret crush, Ginny, from a couple of thugs who have abducted her as collateral in a stamp deal gone bad.
He meets up with war vet Mack, who wants his sta...

This time, the aforementioned Bridget and Mary Jo and I were joined by contributing writer Jason Miller! He's a ...

Last week, we unleashed Winterbeast upon an unsuspecting RiffTrax audience. For that, we're sorry-ish, but let's face it: this movie has a lot going for it. Whether it's beasts, the effects, the accents, the lack of winter, or Sunglass Guy himself, Winterbeast is already one of our favorite riffed films of the year - and 2022 has only gotten started!
The guys took to the Talkin' RiffTra...

"That doesn't look very scary. More like a... six-foot turkey."
Hi folks, Erik from RiffTrax here. I scoured the catalog for more fun sci-fi riffs that I somehow haven't seen yet, and it turns out, Dinosaurus is one of them! So let's have a Scener Watch party, what do you say? The product page on our site has this to say about it:
Dinosaurus is a vintage 60s monster flick, complete with a caveman and drunk-looking stop motion dinosaurs (or are they...

Greetings, Traxians!
Let's do another Turkey Thursday, shall we? This week's subject is one of the few volleyball-centric movies I've heard of, and apparently there's also a subplot involving the now-defunct restaurant chain Souplantation.
I'll be hosting at 3:30pm Pacific / 6:30pm Eastern over at 2022-01-25 19:52:11 +0000 UTC

Hello, Traxians!
We hope you're ready to kick off 2022 with some pure madness, because the subject of this year's first Hangin' Out with RiffTrax is utter insanity: Winterbeast. It's a film brave enough to ask: what if John Waters and the Polonia Brothers made a Ray Harryhausen film?

Brand new on the site, it's Fugitive Rage!
It’s an ancient Zen riddle: If a Fred Olen Ray movie does not have the word “bikini” in its title, does it even make a sound? The answer is yes; the sound is “BANG BANG oof [assorted alluring catfight noises] Ka-Pow [shower water running] BANG [general premium cable channel sexiness] Kablooie!”

Mike, Kevin, Bill, and the Frostfather are back for your enjoyment as they talk a bit more about Father Frost! We riffed a new HD film transfer of the totally uncut movie (it's probably 10 minutes longer than the MST episode Jack Frost), and the guys talk a bit about that and the production value that's apparent in the movie - now that the picture is clear!
