Oh hi, Traxians! Let's do a Turkey Thursday, huh?

Erik here, hoping you'll come by for another Turkey Thursday!
This week, I'll be screening the early James Nguyen movie attempt, Replica. (We also released it Unriffed as part of our deal with him, but watching any of his movies sans jokes is not something I'd want to put our dear Traxians through.)

Howdy, Traxians! Your old pal Erik here.
I'm back in the saddle from Nashville, having successfully completed out 31st live show - Hobgoblins! It was a hoot and a half, but I'm very much glad to be home.

Hello Traxillanians. Kevin here. In this spirited round, we continue with (finish off / become nauseated by) our self-proclaimed two-movie SUMMER OF ESTEVEZ, with Baby Ghost.
Now, it may already be obvious to you that we’ve been putting off this title for quite some time, all the while being egged ...
2021-08-12 21:38:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Traxians!
This Thursday I'll be hosting yet another Turkey for your enjoyment! I think the title and concept of this one feels very much like something the MST3K crew would have done during the Sci-Fi years. In Alien Outlaw, whip enthusiast Lash LaRue and his gun-slinging protégé must fight a group of invading aliens, who are also outlaws of some kind.

Hello, Traxians! Erik here.
You've heard of Hot Turkey Sandwiches. You also probably heard of quitting "cold turkey." But have you ever seen a turkey that was Cool as Ice?

Hello Traxians,
Mike, Kevin, and Bill are back with their post-recording discussion of Plankton! They try to figure out whether it's more confusing or disgusting, whether talking clocks are common on cruises, and that very interesting bedside table lamp. Enjoy!

Fortunately, the unholy sea monsters are being kept in a state of suspended animation. (Fortunate for the producers, because it’s much cheaper to not have the sea monster puppets move.) Unfortunately, there’...

Hi folks,
Kevin Murphy here.
Forget that this is a direct-to-cable sequel. Forget that Jean-Claude Van Damme is replaced without anyone batting an eyelash. Even forget that Gary Busey’s choppers are the most prominent thing on the screen, most of the time.
Instead, do what we do. Focus on Burt Reynolds.* More than that, focus, like the movie does, on Burt Reynolds’ m...

In San Franpsycho (coming to the RiffTrax site tomorrow), Joe Estevez plays a detective in search of a murderin' psychopath who is loose on the streets of San Francisco. Just in case the title didn't make it obvious.
Bill dreamed up the lyrics, and Kevin wrote the music, to this unofficial theme song that's in the style of a 1930s jazz tune. It makes this thriller about a knife-w...
