Brown Thrush! NOOOOO!

Fantastic riff. I'm biased, but I'm also right.

Nothing says "terror" like bad stop-motion! Please believe me when I tell you that downloading this iRiff is the only way that "Stephen King's IT, Part 2" will ever be watchable. With hilarious lines ("Just because we like to do things together doesn't mean you can't call an ambulance") and spot-on delivery, you have no excuse whatsoever to not have already downloaded it. You might think that we're biased, seeing as how we did Part 1, but you're wrong- devoting so much time to the repeated viewing of movies as bad as this one has destroyed the part of my brain where lies come from.

Awesome conclusion to part 1! Great Riffing! Like Peanut Butter and Chocolate, Cinester-Theater and Hor-Riff-ic Productions are two great riffing teams that go great together! Buy it today and say, "WTF, THAT'S the monster?!?!"

Wow! These two never disappoint. 5/5

This was my first foray into HOR-RIFF-IC's stuff (I bought Sleepaway, but still haven't gotten around to listening to it), and I was thoroughly pleased with the results. Minor cons out of the way first, as usual: I'm not super fond of the sound quality from these guys. It's weird, though, I can't say why. It comes out fairly clear, no perpetual plosive problems or anything like that, but it just sounds a little tin can-ish to me most of the time. Still, though, strong delivery from both Gary and Erin more than make up for this 99% of the time (and, oddly, I think this works well with horror films; it for some reason reminds me of the acoustics in a barn, making it feel as if I'm gathered around some hay bales enjoying a scary story with friends). My only other real "problems" are also fairly nitpicky, but I'll go ahead and mention them. One, I thought the third act kind of trickled and died up on us, jokes-wise, at least until we finally see IT for what it kindasorta truly is. So maybe a space of about 15 minutes (maximum) there where I was kind of twiddling my thumbs, but that's the ONLY part I felt that during, and there was still a good line here and there in it so not a huge deal. Two, you have "Satan" as a character on your riff, and I can understand you don't want to overuse him since he's your synch tech, but I dunno. I guess since our villain is a shapeshifting amorphous evil creature that lives beneath us, and since your Satan character is so ... gregarious, much like Tim Curry, I would've liked to have seen a bit more Satan/IT bitch fighting. 'I can do that too!' or whatever from Satan here and there. I know, this isn't really a problem w/the riff itself so much as me wanting something there's absolutely no reason to expect from the riff, but still, felt like a bit of a wasted opportunity to me.

The things I liked: the quality and consistency of jokes throughout is very solid. I'd say Cinester's half hits a little harder, faster and furiouser, but man. When you're taking the back half of a 180-minute monster such as this (I mean IT--pronoun trouble abounds trying to review this one--I mean, IT one) I think anyone would be hard pressed to keep up the energy no matter what. But this half definitely has a bit more laid back, laconic feel to it. It very much feels like watching the show with friends, in a much more relaxed atmosphere. Something I personally liked was it definitely felt like Erin at least had read the book, as there were a few nods here and there to things that're only glossed over at most in the movie that get referenced. Gary and Erin have a great chemistry, and sometimes I'd chuckle at a joke I didn't find that funny just because they would laugh at each other a lot. There are especially times where this chemistry works well to pull off that "unrehearsed" feeling (like the later mention of "brown thrush!" totally just feels like Erin ad libbing to see if she could get Gary to yell 'noooo!' again).

..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I still say overall IT has competent cinematography and Harry Anderson was the PERFECT casting choice for Richie (a couple of his deliveries STILL make me laugh), but after 16 years or more of having not seen this sucker, it's still as bad as I remember it. Part 2 at least Pennywise does a bit more than just go RAWR and get monster teeth now and then, though really there's never a credible sense of menace created for any of the entire movie, sadly

My personal favorite joke: (As Ben rides in a cab into Derry) 'Hey, cabbie, could you run after me and yell "You're dead, fat boy" a little? I'm trying to reminisce here. No? ... All right.' Good job, guys.

Another really strong effort, well worth the money.

I'm not going to bother repeating what my favorite jokes are, but the brown thrush (Nooooo!) and the comments on how lame the monster at the end were had me laughting. Great chemistry between the two.

Another Hor-RIFF-ic iRiff that is full of great lines. Keep 'em coming! The best thing you can do with your $1.99 is to buy a Hor-RIFF-ic iRiff. I listen to their releases all the time, infact I doubt I'll ever be able to watch movies they've riffed without their iRifftrax playing. They make my favorite movies even better.

Once again Hor-RIFF-ic does quite well and makes a fun time out of this less than even offering from Mr. King! We get a great offering in variety of riffs, ranging from Mothra to the unacceptability of swearing in this child murder filled movie. All in all highly recommended and I am very glad to add this to my riffing collection.
