RiffTrax was founded by former MST3K host Mike Nelson and now offers much more than just movie mockery. Here's a summary of their versatile selection of satire.

Riff Treks

Posted on Feb 10, 2008Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

I admit it: I'm a Star Trek fanboy. Almost anything bearing the Star Trek name is instantly fantastic — it's just a matter of degree. Within that realm is a wide variety, from the awesomely fantastic (Deep Space Nine, First Contact) to the pathetically fantastic (Nemesis), but I'll still be first in line for all…

2007: The Year in Review

Posted on Jan 4, 2008Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

It's time for a brief look back at 2007 — brief, because my theatergoing is not what it once was. The number of movies I saw in theaters has fluctuated wildly since a decade ago, though it seems relatively constant over the course of this millennium: 1995: 22 1996: 43 1997: 70 1998: 53 1999:…

Mighty Max

Posted on Nov 5, 2007Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

All good things must come to an end — but as sad as it is to see our favorite casts and crews disperse, it gives them and their fans new opportunities. Yet it's the old collaborations that seem to generate the most excitement, heralding a return to the golden days of yore; observe the success…

The Power of RiffTrax in the Palm of Your Hands

Posted on Sep 4, 2007Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

I've previously blogged about what the masterminds behind MST3K are up to these days: RiffTrax, which gives us a whole new way to lampoon and enjoy Hollywood's best (and worst).

Send In the Clones

Posted on Aug 9, 2007Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

Mystery Science Theater 3000, the television series that for ten years lampooned terrible B-films, will see its twelfth DVD collection released this October, reports TVShowsOnDVD.com. Since I was a latecomer to the series, the three Comedy Central-era episodes in this set are unknown to me. More appealing is the inclusion of episode 811. When I…
