Rifftrax Rock!
« on: August 02, 2006, 02:39:21 PM »
I learned on another forum that Mike Nelson, the head writer of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame, has started a site called "Rifftrax." He basically does the MST3K thing, and puts it to MP3. You buy the MP3 for $1.99, rent the movie it goes to, synch your MP3 player to the movie (instructions on the MP3, and are really easy) and start laughing. I just did it for the movie "Roadhouse". Not the exact experience as MST3K, as there's just Mike, but I was cracking up.

He just started and only has Rifftrax out for "Roadhouse" and "The Fifth Element", but I've already put "The Fifth Element" in my Netflix queue.

MST3K, The Next Generation.  Excellent.

Is it just Mike, or do the robots also have something to say?

Just Mike and "disembodied voice" which acts both as Mike's straight man and by occasionally duplicating a characters lines, a check to ensure the Rifftrax and the movie are still in synch.
