Mister Kingdom posted:It was Showtime. When HBO first started out, they'd have filler films of a guy riding a bike through the park. Back in the ancient days when it was a premium channel, The Disney Channel would run Disney cartoons in the gaps, but for long breaks they would always seem to run that Rupert cartoon with the singing frogs. Also, since the guys have a relationship with TriStar now and no one cares about keeping Alexander Salkind happy, I want a live riff of Santa Claus: The Movie for Christmas some year soon.

They said something like "if you listened to this but didn't pay for it, we depend on our business to keep making these, so consider buying one next time and making good by donating on the website." They've said something like that on the website before, but putting one in the commentary itself makes me wonder if  is increasing or something.

Oh, well that's depressing. I got it from the Kickstarter, and have bought every Rifftrax I own right now. Even for the movies I don't own (like the Transformers movies). Sucks if they're having problems with that. Mike, Bill, Kevin, I swear I download those pre-synced movie files because I'm lazy.

Has there been any word on the kickstarter shorts being sold to the general public? I'm kicking myself for missing them the first time around.

I have a confession to make, guys: it took me two tries to get through the Apple. The riffs were good but the movie was pain. When I had heard about the whole Disco Demolition Night at around that time, I thought it was a ridiculous over-reaction. Having experienced the Apple -- I get it. Hooboy, do I get it. Viva Knievel was fun, though! I'm still impressed by how much of a gaping charisma vacuum Evel was. Suppose that's why I had never saw him speak much when I saw old footage of him as a kid. My boyfriend bought me a $50 gift certificate, so now I'm trying to figure out what to get next. I was thinking of maybe taking a chance on some VoD's that I haven't seen much mention of in the thread yet. Ghostpilot fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Oct 11, 2013 |

According to the Rifftrax Facebook page, they should be releasing Supersonic Man sometime today. This should be fun.

Here we go! About 5 minutes in and honestly...this makes Pumaman look competent in comparison.  Edit: I think we have another one for the "must have" list, folks!  Edit 2: Ahh, that was good stuff. Highly recommended! Ghostpilot fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Oct 12, 2013 |

I never thought I'd say this, but suddenly The Puma Man seems a richly nuanced movie. I'm going to have that stupid Supersonic Man theme stuck in my head for days.

If you weren't aware, Greg Sestero's book The Disaster Artist about his relationship with Tommy Wiseau and the making of The Room is out now. And on the first page, you find out that Tommy Wiseau genuinely claims to be a vampire. This book is amazing.

I love that the book is worth nearly three times the amount of the DVD it's based on (yeah, I know it only came out 2 weeks ago). I'd love to hear the audiobook version of this just to hear him convey the disbelief and frustration that the memories of that whole shoot conjures up.

I just stared reading this book yesterday thanks to this thread and I've come to the conclusion that Tommy Wiseau is really Andy Kaufman in the greatest performance ever. Or just batshit insane.

It sounds like some of the dubbed voice actors were even the same, and I definitely recognized one of the henchman in this movie as one of the poachers from Pod People (the one that Joel kept adding all the sadism jokes to.)
