Now is the time for us to gather together and celebrate those things that we like and think are fun.
Bill and to a lesser extent Kevin are woke enough to cancel out Mike's chudness. At least that's how I rationalize it.

Or just buy Rifftrax because they're funny. You don't have to rationalize a loving thing.

edit: The Tupperware riff is really good.

You ever do the chicken dance at a wake? That really bothers people.
Just wanted to point out that Tigtone is gonna start up on Adult Swim this Monday at midnight. You may remember the Ghost Wizard in The Begun of Tigtone being voiced by Bill Corbett, and it seems like he's doing more voices in the actual series.

Interesting. I remember when they were first released one of the Matrix riffs had a pretty nasty joke referring to Lana Wachowski as "it". I wonder if that got removed too.

Did anyone watch Tigtone? It's that show that Bill Corbett does a few roles in. (I was not a fan of the pilot, but hope the actual show is better.)

I watched Bridget and Mary Jo's "Dressed to Kill" and it is weird how that name has absolutely nothing to do with any part of the movie. I guess a character wears disguises but that doesn't really factor into the crime.

Also the Driptrax has said that they're going to announce this year's Kickstarter soon. Kind of wonder what they're going to do because they're running low on "big" bad movies to riff.

This is a promising short for a riff that I wanted to share here before suggesting it to ideas.rifftrax. It's about the Budweiser Clydesdales and it opens with a three-minute musical number and has a few musical intermissions. It's called "BALLAD OF THE BIG ONES" and it's almost like Budweiser's answer to "Shake Hands with Danger". Almost.

The biggest reason it doesn’t work is that the version released in most of the world was a 90-minute cutdown from a four-hour miniseries made for Italian TV.

The Italian version can be found if you know where to look, I have a copy but haven’t gotten around to watching it yet.

I maintain that Gorgo is a few script rewrites away from being a truly great entry in the kaiju genre.

These kind of movies always spend too much time on the non existent scientific explanation, it's best to just go for the paydirt.

I definitely remember watching Parts: the Clonus Horror and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank pre-MST3K, and basically enjoying them. They're competently acted, and just a few script rewrites away from being good movies.

I've posted about it before, but Time Chasers is genuinely fun and surprisingly competent for being directed by a 20 year old.
