#5 - Cinemasochists: Highlander 2 The Quickening

Season 4 - Episode 541 - Aired 9/11/2010

**Update** You can now view this entire riff and movie on YouTube for free. The sample player should play the entire movie, or you can get it direct from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfh4hmtyVvk No need to pay me or spend time syncing to VHS! Comment on YouTube if you enjoy the video! With the signature line “There can be only one,” the foreshadowing for what would become the second installment in the Highlander series could not have been more eloquent. Highlander 2: The Quickening is known as being so bad that the storyline of Highlander 3 ignores it entirely. “Pretend it never happened,” the producers seemed to say. Oh, but it did happen and it is a complete disaster. Since this is our first bad movie we’ve attempted to write a comic commentary for, we were determined to find one that did most of the work for us. Please note: This commentary is for Highlander 2: The Quickening. It will not sync with the later releases Renegade Version or the Special Edition. Highlander 2: The Quickening, which is the theatrical version was only released on VHS and, at the time of this posting, could be found on Amazon.com for $3 including shipping!

#6 - Cinemasochists: Super Mario Bros

Season 4 - Episode 542 - Aired 9/14/2010

Take a beloved video game franchise and turn it into a live-action movie. This seemed like a great idea to movie producers in the 90's and led to several fantastic examples of how it just doesn't work. Super Mario Bros is one such example rife with bizarre choices; casting a British guy (Bob Hoskins) as Mario. Casting a Columbian-American (John Leguizamo) as Luigi. Make sure they spend the first hour of the movie out of their signature coveralls. Bowser's too hard to pull off, so just cast Dennis Hopper and call him "Koopa." Princess Peach needs saving in the video game, but in the movie it's all about Luigi and Daisy. Don't worry about Mario though, he's got a clone of Fran Drescher as a girlfriend. Step into the warp zone and visit the ultimate "minus world" of Super Mario Bros, the movie!

#7 - Toast and Rice: The Outsider

Season 4 - Episode 543 - Aired 9/18/2010

Poor Susan Jane Smith! Despite a name that's very similar to one of the most popular Doctor Who companions, she finds herself a social outcast. And since she goes to a school where everyone's a soc, and nobody's a greaser, that leaves her as the singular Outsider. No rumbles, no sunsets. There isn't even hair grease (andit's sorely missed). So our heroine has no choice but to find a way into the exclusive social circle that up until now has chosen not to bestow their attention upon her. While her attempts at spying around corners and conforming her after school snack counter orders prove fruitless, she soldiers on, with only the voice of a lone, passive-aggressive narrator to guide her.

#12 - Riff Raff Theater: Alien vs. Predator

Season 4 - Episode 548 - Aired 10/7/2010

Alien is a popular franchise. Predator is a popular franchise. What could go wrong by slapping them together? Here to answer that question is Riff Raff Theater, the masters of crowd-sourced movie riffing. Lance Henrikson plays definitely-human-this-time Charles Bishop Weyland, a billionaire roboticist who discovers a lost pyramid under Antarctica and develops a bad case of dollar-bill-signs-of-the-eyes. Also, emphysema. He sends in the best resources and experts money can buy, but fails in every conceiveable way. Sounds like a perfect stand-in for the studio suits. Soldiers? Mercenaries? No, our heroes are an arctic tour guide, a "pyramid expert," a constantly-coughing old guy, and some other forgettable fodder. Though for you romantic types there's the will-they-won't-they of the title characters, and one man's undying love of his Pepsi-Cola bottlecap. Find out along with riffers Chris Hanel, Dave "Danuuc" Atwater, and Todd Gutknecht that the whole is often less than the sum of its parts, in Alien versus Predator! Note: We are riffing the original THEATRICAL version, *NOT* The “Unrated Director’s Cut”. On a side note, This DVD was one of the first to abuse … Read more » the term “Unrated” with such shameless transparency as to make marketing people start to question whether they felt guilty for starting this trend. (This lasted for .52 seconds before they went back to serving as minions of Satan.)

#13 - Atomic Treatment & Mr.B.Natural: High School Caesar

Season 4 - Episode 553 - Aired 10/22/2010

#14 - Riff-a-Brack Productions: Resident Evil

Season 4 - Episode 559 - Aired 11/4/2010

When making a movie based on a videogame inspired by classic George Romero movies, apparently George Romero wasn't what they were looking for so they went with Paul W.S. Anderson. The result? Resident Evil (2002), the movie that combines all the most boring parts of the games involving wandering and not knowing what is going on with a tightly crafted fanfiction. And zombies...but that's really besides the point. After a deadly virus escapes the underground laboratory called "The Hive," Umbrella Incorporated sends in their own specialized military task force to investigate without any proper briefing whatsoever. When they arrive they find Alice (Milla Jovovich), suffering from plot convenient amnesia at the hands of the Hive's super-computer defenses, Matt (Eric Mabius) a cop that dropped by for tea, and Spence (James Purefoy) another guy suffering from fun memory loss. The three are dragged along the team's mission to find out why the supercomputer decided to go all homicidal and just what all those undead fellows are going on about. Combining the least amount of residence in comparison to evil you can possibly get!

#15 - Atomic Treatment & Mr. B Natural: Hercules in the Center of the Earth

Season 4 - Episode 565 - Aired 11/23/2010

#16 - FilmRoasters: Cat-Women of the Moon

Season 4 - Episode 567 - Aired 9/25/2013

"The eternal wonders of space and time. The faraway dreams and mysteries of other worlds..." It's a movie about women in tights. On the Moon. I really don't think there's anything else to say.

#17 - The Turkey Shoot: Scrooge

Season 4 - Episode 570 - Aired 12/1/2010

Boy, I bet you never thought Dickensian times could evolve into something even more bleak and destitute. Add one Seymour Hicks into the retelling of this most cherished morality tale, and you may never feel to ponder 'Oliver Twist' for the rest of your days. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you one and to you all ! You've foregone the option of 'Jingle All The Way', and decided to settle down instead with this bootleg quality, 'Christmas Carol' adaptation so oblique, so obtuse, you'll wonder how they ever found reason not to include the beloved Fezziwig into the overall story. Cuz they didn't. They don't. Sorry to break it to ya. Oh and no Scrooge's sister Fan either for some reason. Maybe all for the better. You decide. She dies anyways. All the more stranger is the fact the Mr. Hicks transfers his performance of Scrooge from stage to screen here, having played the role countless times before stepping in front of the camera. And yet, by comparison, I'd rather pit Whoopi Goldberg best to rival Alastair Sim as the greastest Ebeneezer Scrooge of all time. Think of the cognitive abilities of your 80 year old Grandpa with his head in a plastic bag while running the New York Marathon. That, in essence, is Seymour Hicks. May the tidings of gladness fill us all (or maybe just a nice endorhpin rush) to lighten the load, as we tuck into this; the 1935 production of 'Scrooge' . God Bless us all ..everyone. Please for the love of God! Make it go by fast! The Turkey Shoot with Scott Zee

#18 - Cinester Theater: Short Circuit

Season 4 - Episode 585 - Aired 12/17/2010

Boy, aren't robots adorable? You know, when they're not trying to melt our faces off, use our bioelectricity to fuel their terrible war machines, or sending themselves back through time to murder our children? "Short Circuit" is here to prove that the answer is no. Even when they're cuddly and lovable, robots are annoying and should probably be destroyed. In this family-friendly version of "Frankenstein", Number 5 is a sophisticated war machine brought to life by a plot-convenient bolt of lightning. After escaping from his inventors, he terrorizes the surrounding Oregon countryside with horrible TV commercial impressions, zany mishaps, and one of the most awkwardly forced romance subplots in the history of cinema. Co-starring Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy, and Fisher Stevens as a probable sex-predator, "Short Circuit" is a heartwarming tale that's surprisngly less family-friendly than you remember! Join Shawn and Keith as they turn this mockery of a film into a hilarious 90-minute thrillride of comedy!

#19 - Hor-RIFF-ic: Leprechaun

Season 4 - Episode 587 - Aired 12/20/2010

Gary and Erin Slasher are asking themselves one question...do they feel lucky? Well? Turns out they're not because they have to watch a height challenged, rhyme addicted, gold obsessed killer. That's right! Hor-RIFF-ic Productions is taking on the Irish themed horror classic,Leprechaun! This one is sure to put you off your breakfast cereal. So what sort of pint-sized wicked whimsy can we expect from this mythical movie? Goooold! Tarantulas! Child Labor! Shoe Fetishists! Pogo Sticks of Death! Alcoholism!...ok that one was a given. Plus: Jennifer Aniston's nose! (Circa 1993)
