You may be aware that the folks who brought us Mystery Science Theater 3000 have been involved with a new venture. They dub their infamous “alternate dialogue” to DVDs and sell you the dialogue. This helps them avoid copyright infringement issues. All you have to do is rent the associated DVD, start their dialogue at the proper time so you’re in sync and it’s like having Joel, Mike, Crow Tom and Cambot in your living room cracking wise with you as you watch Hollywood’s latest big money bomb. They call their for sale commentaries, “Rifftrax.”
Well now they have also started offering free streams of material that is in the public domain. You can listen to their first effort this Thursday. For details go to: http://www.rifftrax.com/
I love MST3K. “Cripes! I AM the Herc.”
Thanks for the tip.
Rufus here; Your thanks are unnecessary. Folks helping folks. It’s what we do.
Hey, Rifftrax ads have just shown up in the margin! Cool!!
If it weren’t for them, I probably would not have as wonderful an appreciation of the film industry as I do today.
Because once you have seen such horrors as MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE or RED ZONE CUBA (WTF was the PLOT?!?!) you begin to see the majesty and art in mediocre films.

It doesn’t need the commentary to be funny.
Zooey has been embarrased!
So, Rufus, are you a Joel man or a Mike man?
Wow! The thumbnails are much bigger on this site than I’m used to.
I look remarkably like a pig in this photo, don’t I? ——>
I second Mike Kriskey’s question!
Are you a Joel Man or a Mike Man, Rufus?
I am probably a Mike Man, since I saw his first, but I like Joel too.
I am very embarrassed to admit that I have never seen the show.
