 For those of you who don't know, RiffTrax is primarily Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett (of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame) riffing on cheesy movies. Established in 2006 when it was just Mike, a microphone, and a copy of Road House, RiffTrax has established itself as its own entity, having lasted longer than MST3K's original run! The business model can be divided into three equal parts: "Just the Jokes", B-movie riffs, and Shorts. "Just the Jokes" The bread and butter. RiffTrax sells you an audio file (usually about $4) to which you sync to a mainstream movie (or, in some instances, TV show). Essentials The Avengers Jurassic Park Road House (Three Riffer Edition) Twilight X-Men B-movie riffs At one point a niche product, now the main point of emphasis, these pre-synced movies (usually costing about $10) range from regular camp to  , and it's generally agreed the more the movie is, the harder you'll laugh.Essentials Fun in Balloon Land The Guy From Harlem Miami Connection R.O.T.O.R. Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny Shorts For 99 cents you can get a short, sometimes a educational piece. Essentials The 'At Your Fingertips' series Drugs Are Like That Setting Up a Room Shake Hands With Danger This is Hormel What is Nothing? There is also RiffTrax Presents, which is a catch-all for riffs not featuring Mike Nelson. These usually involve the teams of Bridget Nelson and Mary Jo Pehl, Cole Stratton and Janey Varney, and Matthew J. Elliott and Ian Potter. Your mileage may vary. In addition, RiffTrax usually does 3-4 live shows a year shown on movie screens nationwide. Traditionally, they will do one blockbuster and fill the remaining slots with B-movies. Make sure you see them in theaters - it takes a long time for the shows to be released for download, and that's only if they have the rights to do so! So, what are you waiting for? Watch or listen to Mike, Kevin, and Bill today! Twitch channel YouTube channel Edward Mass fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Jul 1, 2021 |

I guess it depends on the kind of bizarre. There's 'what were the writers thinking' bizarre, but there's also 'why was this made' bizarre. Join Hands, Let's Go fits the latter, if that's what you're looking for.

If you still believe in physical media, then you might be excited that RiffTrax are releasing three new DVDs: the live version of Samurai Cop, the Summer Shorts Beach Party, and a collection of Mary Jo and Bridget shorts.

Yeah, they’re two different products, even if they share the same concept of riffing. MST3K is a TV show, while RiffTrax really isn’t, so their discussions belong in different sub-forums. Kind of like the Star Trek movie thread and the Star Trek TV show threads!

Check the OP! Saw the rebroadcast (I was busy last Thursday), and the crowd was very close to what the live broadcasts usually are. Promising!

This whole situation has made me realize how much of a workaholic Mike Nelson is. How many podcasts has he started while also writing and performing riffs?
