Hello, Traxians! Your old pal Erik the Web Guy here.
First, I wanted to thank everyone who watched our Scener Stream and Scream events in October. I personally had a lot of fun watching a couple of riffs I hadn't seen yet, along with one of my old favorites, Ghost House. (But then again, all I ...

Enjoy!

Hi Traxians! Bill here once again.
I sat down for a chat with RiffTrax financial wizard Diana Buckley about her work for the team, including her side interest of finding cool and weird short films for riffing.

Thanks to everyone who came out and stuck with us through the technical mishap at the beginning. Once things got sorted out, the show was a success and a ton of fun; we're thankful to the more than 2000 of you who watched along with us, even if we had to start 30 minutes late.

The classic riffing duo, Mike and Bridget, teamed up to riff this 1960s classic staring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, available now at RiffTrax.com (and free to a bunch of 2020 Kickstarter backers). Here's the first five minutes, exclusively for Traxians. Enjoy!

Hi, Traxians!
One of my favorite parts of doing our Kickstarter campaigns is seeing the rewards that our backers are due to receive actually going through their process of getting made. (This is second only to actually receiving them from the makers.)

Beaks! goes by a few alternate names, like Birds of Prey (sans Harley Quinn) and Falco Terror (an objectively cool title), but of course we had to go with the version that provides its own thrilling punctuation. It stars a Blue Lagoon-less Christopher Atkins, and it’s an eye-plucking deli...
