Talkin' RiffTrax: AMERICAN WEREWOLF
Howdy, Traxians! Or should I say "Howwwwlllllllll-dy!"Okay. I'll keep workshopping that one. Today we're releasing a doozy of a movie, and it's from the guy behind fan favorite Lycan Colony.

Talkin' RiffTrax: BIRDEMIC 3
Greetings, Traxians! Erik here.The third (and final???) film in the Birdemictrilogy has finally arrived on RiffTrax! Granted, we skipped the one in the middle, which much like Highlander 2is really okay to skip. Here's more from our synopsis:If there were a Mount Rushmore of core RiffTrax movies, Birdemicwould absolutely be one of them. Also, instead of a mountain, our Rushmore would be sculpted from Utz cheese balls and kept in an abandoned workroom on the grounds of what used to be Pirates World. True prestige
Exclusive first look at this year's Kickstarter!
Hello there Traxians!It's that time of year! Recently, some of you have been asking, "When is the next Kickstarter?" and "What are you riffing for RiffTrax Live this year?" and even "When are you going to riff Birdemic 2?" To which we can now say, "Soon", "You'll find out soon", and "Probably never."We haven't really teased these campaigns in the past, so we hope you're excited, because we're so incredibly hyped for RiffTrax Live this year. We'll be dropping hints in the ne...
Talkin' RiffTrax: THE KARATE KID
Hey, Traxians - It's finally here!This past week we released our second riff of the "Karate Kid" series of movies, by going back... to the past! Yes, we had already done a riff of The Karate Kid: Part IIIa while back, but thanks to our 2024 Kickstarter supporters, we were able to go back to where it all started, and release a brand new Just the Jokes commentary on the original 1980s classic (and not the one starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan).It’s a tale as old as time. Boy moves to town. Boy meets girl from Encino, a slightly w...
Hangin' Out With RIffTrax: BIRDEMIC 3 - What the Actual Hell?!
Greetings, Dear Traxians! We had a last-minute Hangin' Out livestream yesterday, and we're pleased to present you with that recording. Did you know James Nguyen made a thirdBirdemicmovie? It's true! While we had heard that the second one, Birdemic 2: The Resurrectionwas much too tongue-in-cheek and winking for us to take seriously enough for a commentary, we did learn recently that Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle(or Seagull, depending on who's saying it) was basically a re-do of the first movie. Upon finding that out, we shouted "Wooh...

Talkin' RiffTrax: THE DEATH OF RICHIE
Hello, Traxians!It's another Friday, and we bring you yet another made-for-TV cautionary tale about why you shouldn't do drugs — especially if you're Richie, a high schooler who just about goes through the wringer to the point of having a total meltdown and, well, let's just say things don't go well at the end. (Way to spoil your own final act, movie!)If only Richie had been subjected to watching Drugs Are Like That, maybe things would have turned out differently. We may never know.Enjoy Mike, Kevin, and Bill talkin' a...
Talkin' RiffTrax: MICRO MINI KIDS!
Well hello there, Traxians! Last week we released our last feature-length B-movie riff of the year, and it sure is... something! It's got kids, who are micro and possiblymini (at least one of them wishes he was little bit taller..) and who also claim to be inventors of some sort. And the main kid is also a magician?? There's a lot to unpack, so Mike, Kevin, and Bill break it all down right here on The 'Net - yes, the very same The 'Net described in this early 2000's made-for-video movie — but not to be confused with the S...
Hangin' Out with RiffTrax: Hallmark Movie Pitch Meeting!
Hi there, Traxians! The Christmastime season is known for many things: giving gifts and placing them under a freshly cut tree; drinking nog of egg (spiked if you like); singing songs from the public domain to anyone within earshot... but, most importantly, and the best Yuletide tradition that wecan think of: watching cheesy cornball Hallmark movies!And with our mug being filled this year with new, must-watch B-movies like Hot Frosty, The Merry Gentlemen, and Red One, the wriffers of RiffTrax thought it would be appropriate to pitch their own Ha...

Talkin' RiffTrax: FIGHT TO WIN!
Also known as "The Magic Crystal" it's a brand-new B-movie riff to "kick" off your Friday! (Then again, this is a kick from Cynthia Rothrock, so maybe try and avoid getting kicked...) The first question you’d have if you met a talking, glowing outer space rock would probably be “Can you lick things?”Once you were assured that, of courseit could, you’d probably want to know:“Do you have other protuberances that extend outward and throb in a suggestive manner?” After it demonstrated this off-putting ability, you’...
Talkin' RiffTrax: OVER THE TOP!

It's also a fan favorite, which helps too.What do we love so much about it? Where to begin... Perhaps it's the story of a truck driver and his attempt to repair his relationship with his estranged son? Maybe it's the over-the-top acting of Sly himself? Or is it the soundtrack, featuring the likes of Sammy Haga...
