Since we've got a new thread, here's the link to the RiffTrax Best of the Worst Fan Poll.

https://goo.gl/forms/q9BB7ITmVukbcY4s2

It's going to be open until 11:59 PM EST on May 21.

The response this year has been great, with almost 4 times more than last year's edition!

Keep 'em coming guys!

Last night, this was posted on the RiffTrax twitter:

Today, I got some more details.

Erik from RiffTrax posted:

Yes, this is a subscription service we are working on! And it's almost ready to go. We'll be doing a soft alpha/beta test soon (hence the "Beta" badge!). We're working on Roku (and web) first, and if it's a hit, more platforms will follow.

Basic idea is: $5.99 a month, unlimited streaming-only, and the titles are 100+ feature-length VODs, 200+ shorts, and probably some exclusive subscriber-only content refreshed monthly.

We're also working on more site enhancements to make the whole thing shinier, including a new design, a Watch list / queue feature, and more.

Exciting!

Every movie this year minus Replica, World of Oz, Missile X, and Samurai Cop are all from the same distribution company.

How is the Summer of Shorts Live Show? I own all the shorts, so are they just a repeat of the classics with similar jokes like the Christmas Short or entirely new jokes? I know there are some new shorts in it like the creepy looking sack one.

The Summer Shorts Live show is all new shorts that RiffTrax had never done before

New riff! Merlin the Return!

https://www.rifftrax.com/merlin-the-return

quote:

Merlin, the legendary wizard is stuck inside a terrible nether dimension. Meanwhile, the former stars of Wayne�s World, Highlander, and The Young Ones are stuck in a terrible movie about Merlin, the legendary wizard.

Merlin wants to escape the nether dimension, which makes sense because the nether dimension looks like a black light barfed glo-sticks all over a Spencer�s Gifts. Unfortunately, his arch foe Mordred wants to leave too. Assisting him is Tia Carrere who has built an interdimensional portal. (She was hoping to be able to travel into Mike Myer�s house to beg him to make Wayne�s World 3.)

Eventually, King Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, Mordred, and all their armies wind up in modern day� Uh, England? America? South Africa? Wherever it is, they have what is undoubtedly the fakest Stonehenge in film history. Spinal Tap wishes their Stonehenge looked this fake. There are ghost-skeletons in this movie that look more realistic than this Stonehenge and ghost-skeletons aren�t even a thing!

Join Mike, Kevin, Bill, Sir Gawain, but NOT The Green Knight for Merlin: The Return!

Today's new release? Yep: Oblivion.

https://www.rifftrax.com/oblivion

quote:

It�s Cowboys & Aliens in the Wild Wild West! How could a sci-fi western about either of those things possibly be bad?

A sleepy western town has been overrun. Not by varmints, but by D-list actor cameos! No amount of fame is too minor or fleeting to warrant disproportionate amounts of screentime!

Issac Hayes! Julie Newmar! And of course a rarely seen acting appearance by professional meme sharer George Takei!

Standing in their way is the evil alien Redeye, who has fallen on hard times after his successful southern gravy campaign. He�s in a bad mood, possibly because whatever his cheap lizard mask is made of is itching like hell, maybe even causing a lifelong skin condition. At the very least it certainly can�t smell very good.

All this, plus sexy cyborgs, steampunk sidekicks, some actually pretty cool stop motion effects, that creepy guy from Twin Peaks, (no, not that one, the other one), and zero, we repeat ZERO huge robot spiders! Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Oblivion!

New Bridget & Mary Jo short!

https://www.rifftrax.com/boredom-at-work

quote:

Before this groundbreaking film, boredom at work was known as the silent killer. This black and white short from 1961 was part of a series of films produced by the Mental Hygiene Division of the Oklahoma State Department of Health.

Watch it with Bridget and Mary Jo and learn how to recognize the warning signs. You - yes, YOU - may be at risk!

So, apparently RiffTrax is going to be LIVE in LONDON

RiffTrax posted:

We hope your 2018 is off to a great start. We thought we�d help ring it in by letting you know about a major announcement first. As the header image above indicates, we�re packing our bags and heading across the pond for our first-ever RiffTrax Live - in London!

You read that right. RiffTrax Live is taking the stage for the first time ever in the U.K! For just one night, we're riffing two of our favorite -- sorry, *favourite* -- films LIVE and IN PERSON from the spectacular Prince Charles Cinema in London!

Join us for an evening featuring two of our most beloved RiffTrax subjects: Ed Wood�s magnum opus Plan 9 From Outer Space and the best action movie to feature a lead actor in a wig, Samurai Cop! Both shows are happening on the same night, February 15th, 2018, at the Prince Charles Cinema in London.

If you're a riffing fan in the U.K. who has been waiting patiently for a RiffTrax Live event to come to your town, then this is your cup of tea. Head over to RiffTrax.com/Live to get your tickets for either show starting right now.

New riff was released on Friday: Invasion of the Animal People!

quote:

What do a furry monster terrorizing Lapland, a wrecked spaceship, John Carradine, and a beautiful skiing star have in common? Very little, as it turns out! Nonetheless, you�ll find them all in Invasion of the Animal People!

It�s fitting that a monster movie like this be stitched together, Frankenstein-style, from the parts of other films. Films that should have been left to rot in peace. A spaceship crashes in Sweden -- or maybe it�s Zurich, the piecemeal movie is pretty consistently inconsistent about what country we�re supposed to be in. Suffice to say, the less you know about Scandinavian geography, the more things will make sense. Anyway, the crashed spaceship kills some reindeer (that�ll teach them to taunt Rudolph) and so some people go to investigate it, and talk a lot, and occasionally we cut to John Carradine, the narrator, who talks even more.

But do we ever finally get to the titular Animal People? Yes! Well, no. But we do get one Animal Person, a hilarious monster straight out of the leftover inventory in the back of the Halloween store that sets up shop in your local abandoned Blockbuster every year. Spooky!

Strap on some skis and rip up your map of Western Europe, it�s time to join Mike, Kevin and Bill for Invasion of the Animal People!

Watching this one really felt like prime Sci-Fi era MST.

New riff:

Son of Sinbad
https://www.rifftrax.com/son-of-sinbad

quote:

At some point, Howard Hughes found time in between meticulously cataloging his urine jar collection and forcing Smithers into the Spruce Moose at gunpoint to produce a film about the Son of Sinbad!

It stars, well� a guy named Sinbad! His son is nowhere to be seen! We are told that his father is also named Sinbad, but he does not make an appearance! Would it have been easier to just make the character Sinbad instead of the Son of Sinbad? Perhaps! But maybe this is the kind of confusion that arises when your executive producer is distracted with his many, many jars of urine.

Also appearing in the film is legendary Persian poet, astronomer, and mathematician, Omar Khayyam, who is of course played by noted Missouri native Vincent Price. We believe Price was only available because he�d foolishly turned down the role of T�Challa.

It�s a Sinbad movie, but unlike Shazaam, it�s very real, so join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for this RiffTrax of Son of Sinbad!

NEW RIFF :siren:

Fairy King of Ar

https://www.rifftrax.com/fairy-king-of-ar

quote:

Fairy King of Ar is a delightful journey into the magical land of fairies. It starts with Grandma dropping dead and dad contracting emphysema. And once you get a look at the fairy �special effects�, we think you�ll agree it gets even more depressing from there.

When former leading man Corbin Bernsen discovers an ancient gold mine on his family�s property, he thinks it could be his ticket out of doing movies like Fairy King of Ar. But the mine is said to be inhabited by goblins and the townspeople fear that entering it could unleash a terrible curse. So Corbin does what any real American dad would do: send his kids in first!

Meanwhile, Malcolm McDowell continuously trespasses on the family�s property, literally assaults the children, and tries to bash a fairy�s head in with a shovel. This is the comic relief character. At this point it should be obvious that Grandma got off easy.

Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for goblins, fairies, giants, and perhaps the longest bike chase scene in any movie since Time Chasers in Fairy King of Ar!
