Your old pal Erik here. I'm finally making good on my promise for a Talkin' RiffTrax from Bridget and Mary Jo, where we discuss their latest riff, Frankenstein's Daughter! We talked in podcast form about that, plus digressions into important topics like Ellen De...

Scientist Carter Morton and his assistant, Oliver Frank, are working to create a medicine that will eliminate all disease among mankind.
Little does Carter know that Frank is a descendent of Victor Frankenstein and has a secret project all his own. Then Carter’s niece Trudy and her boyfriend, played by cinematic vacuum John Ashley, start having suspicions about the Female Monsters in th...

Hi folks,
We did things a bit differently this time, and recorded ourselves recording the MP3 intro for the release — mainly because after three hours of these lunkheads we were sick and tired of talking. Enjoy!

Hello Traxians, Bill here.
Here's the first in an occasional series of Patreon-only chats with me, interviewing my coworkers and colleagues about their favorite RiffTrax movies.
Today's interview is with Erik Peterson, beloved web guru and keeper of the site, talking about his fascination with FUN IN BALLOONLAND! You can download this video 2020-07-23 20:18:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Friends, we hope you enjoy these little tête-à-têtes we bring you, because it’s always cathartic for us to pause after a recording session, look each other in the eye, and ask “What the hot-buttered hell just happened?” Today's offering, Light Blast, is no exception. ...

In this here Patreon-exclusive Talkin’ RiffTrax, we discuss this week's release, STITCHES. It’s the usual old stuff, you know - an agent of Satan poses as an old spinster and moves into a rooming house in order to suck the souls out of the other boarders and turn them into paper dolls who then do her bidding. Some o...

Satan walks among us and he’s a… sassy grandma??
When a mysterious old lady shows up at a quiet boarding house, many of us consider putting on something more exciting, like one of those YouTube videos where a creepy unseen adult unwraps a Kinder Surprise egg. But stick around! Because every guest has their own dark secret and Beelzebub’s going to punish them the only way she k...

Today is Father's Day, and so what better way to celebrate it than with a new short called Appreciating Our Parents?
Speaking of mammalian offspring, we recently discovered a 35mm film reel containing a different cut of a short we'd riffed back in 2009: 2020-06-21 20:01:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey there, Patreon people. Mike Nelson.

Mary Jo and I loved riffing Bride of the Gorilla so much, we decided to talk about it for fun, for you! Our dear Traxians.
Have a listen as we try to decide if Raymond Burr is attractive or scary, how to pronounce the director's name, and other vital facts. I guess you could say we are Talkin' RiffTrax!

She’s a bride. He’s a gorilla. What happens when they meet and fall in love in the jungles of South America? Murder and mayhem, that’s what!
Raymond Burr is a plantation foreman who kills his employer, then has at his boss’s hot wife. But the neighborhood witch just happens to witness the murder and puts a curse on him, which has him roaming the jungle doing a lot of thin...

Long before there was a terrible Disney live-action version of Aladdin, there was a terrible Disney live-action version of Aladdin! This one came out two years before the classic animated version, and has been rightfully scrubbed from history. In fact, Disney was so eager to suppress it that the guy who played Aladdin never acted again! Or before! This was his only role, and a...

Hello Traxians! Conor Lastowka here. We did our first collective run thru of our Hobgoblins Live show yesterday. It was very funny and will be a great time! With these live shows that were also done on MST3K, once we have our script in order, I go through the original MST episode and note if there are any lines that are similar. On this rewatch, I also noted some of the references I didn'...
