Trucker's Woman. Oh for the days when you could literally stalk and assault a woman to get her to like you. It was directed by the same guy who did The Starfighters. His life must've been either really interesting or really dull. Also the guy they say looks like Dr. Giggles really is the guy who played Dr. Giggles (and the villain in Darkman).

The beginning of the latest riff, Lady Mobster, is kind of weird. The head mobster gives a timeline of 15 years and then they make a point of giving the little girl a big scar on her cheek and then when it gets to the "present" it has been 20 years and the scar is gone.

I wouldn't be shocked if the explanation was in the twenty minutes or so they cut from the movie before they riffed it.

The new riff, Ninja Warlord is one of those old Chinese martial arts movies set during the Japanese occupation. So lots of tasteful portrayals of the Japanese, including the very odd choice of instead of having Japanese soldiers wear uniforms they're all dressed in karate gi.

And again they've chopped fifteen or so minutes out of the film.

Is that good or bad?

It's bad. They aren't even cutting for offensive content, they're just lopping bits out at random as far as I can tell. They started doing that a few years ago and there's no drat reason I can figure out for it in most cases.

I'm watching Ghosthouse for the first time in years and I forgot how the first guy to bite it looks like Peter Capaldi and the mortician looks like Jordan Peterson.

Also the director is Umberto Lenzi, who believe it or not made some non-inept films.

Why is "durr you think RiffTrax is a film preservation service" always the reaction? I'm just baffled and annoyed that, for whatever reason, they started taking a hacksaw to their VOD releases when they managed to not do that for a decade or more.

There's about 90 seconds cut from Contamination and what got trimmed was literally one of the funnier parts of the film where Colonel Whatsherface stares into the camera and draws out a line for so long the poor woman who dubbed her voice kinda wigged out. There's no way they couldn't have had fun with that.

I just don't understand how a team that managed to write riffs for all of motherfucking Rollergator are suddenly having problems writing a whole movie's worth of jokes.

Some of it is 100% like TVs Ian said, it's the edit of the movie that they get the rights to use.

Yeah, that's definitely the case for Ninja Warlord. It's one of approximately 57 different cuts of that movie and the cuts are obviously from being edited for television by Larry Bensky. Wanna know why the film is so slow and jerky for the first minute? The original cut had a paragraph of text in Chinese explaining what was going on (I assume) and to cover it up they slowed down the first scene after that.

Or it's just a reference to a hugely popular song from when some of the riffers were kids that's been played on the radio constantly since then. It was in a Saints Row game for gently caress's sake.

It's really wild watching the Audio Mullet and Babylon Bee gang cry over the twitter mob ruining Mike's life. Nobody's really mad at Mike anymore since he apologized, it's YOU everyone dislikes.

It's how they rope people in. They They make a big deal about how they're Christian or whatever to attract people who identify as Christian but aren't bigots. Then if those people realize that they've been hanging out with bigoted trash they deliberately don't criticize them, they criticize the people who rightly point out they're bigoted trash to give themselves a false veneer of being just ordinary folks being persecuted.

It's a weaponized version of that one Geek Social Fallacy.

Like there's valid reasons to dislike "cancel culture" (inasmuch as it's even a thing, which it really isn't), but this situation is 100% not an example of it. Mike apologized instead of doubling down so the whole issue is resolved, cancellation not required or even suggested.

This was one of those movies that just drowns all Rifftrax's jokes in a sea of mind-numbing dullness. It's not even memorably bad like Rollergator. It's just blah.
