Q: What is an iRiff?
A: An iRiff is a home-made audio commentary that you can upload to the RiffTrax Store and sell to our thousands of daily visitors. You'll make 50% of the net revenue your iRiff generates, paid in quarterly installments on balances over $25.
Q: What do the different formats, NTSC and PAL, mean?
A: The short answer is that NTSC files are for people in North America, including the United States and Canada. PAL files are for users in regions other than Region 1, such as the United Kingdom and Australia. The long answer has to do with technical specifications of each format. NTSC and PAL have different framerates - meaning a PAL video actually is a bit faster than its NTSC counterpart, making it somewhat shorter. It's difficult to notice unless you have two versions of the same movie (or audio file) playing side-by-side; but eventually you'll notice the PAL version being ahead of the NTSC version. Sometimes the difference is as much as a few minutes! If you find that your mp3 file is constantly out of sync with the DVD you're watching, first make sure that you've downloaded the correct format of mp3 (NTSC for Region 1, PAL for elsewhere) and then check other things, such as the DVD version (Collector's Edition, Director's Cut, etc.) is correct for that mp3 file. These details are usually found on the product page. For more information on NTSC, as well as a list of countries that use it, click here. For PAL information use this link.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - The Two Man Band
By One Man BandSequels, prequels, remakes, and re-imaginings...for years, it seemed Hollywood had run out of ideas. But then came the Underworld series, with the most original concept yet: Vampires and werewolves fighting each other! And it only took a solitary sequel before the makers realized, "Hey! Let's make movies that happened BEFORE the first one! It worked for Lucas, right?"

Did you feel that? The ground is moving, something's under there! Oh wait, somebody was just shaking with laughter after watching the newest Hor-RIFF-ic Productions victim: TREMORS!
Gary and Erin Slasher, along with Satan and a gaggle of their freakiest friends, are ready to drag this cult classic down and kick sand in its face.
Smelly, slimy, subterranean monsters not enought? We've got more:
What would happen if the Gamera franchise ran out of ideas and tried to pad out a new movie with random fight sequences from other Gamera movies? Destroy All Planets. Still, there is something to be said of the gore of giant monsters violently tearing into each other in a movie aimed at children and dressed as a family film.
Rarely have the planets of Bad Acting, Bad Science, and Big Budget aligned so perfectly as in the 2003 blockbuster movie, "The Core". Contrary to what you are hoping, this "The Core" is not an inspirational video about your company's work ethic, nor a PBS special on apples; it's not even a new exercise regimen. No, this "The Core" spits on the work of H. G. Wells, replacing artistic genius with warmed-over technobablistic faux-facts*.
The team that brings you QuipTracks breaks onto the public domain scene with QuipTracks: The Show!—a near half hour of old-fashioned riffing complete with video (including host segments)! No syncing necessary!
Episode 101 – Rocky Jones Space Ranger in "Escape Into Space"
Join Rocky Jones and his obnoxious sidekick, Winky, as they pursue Truck Harman, a traffiker of the "tarantula weed," who has, in fact, escaped into space.
An uncompromising look at the world of bland adolescent dating rituals. Woody wants to take Ann to the “Hi-Teen Carnival,” but may only do so under the strictest of conditions. Asking her to go with him, for example, is not permissible. Apparently it is an unforgivable offense to ask a girl a direct question. The date does take place, against all odds, and the teeners attend a rave more wild and debauched than anything the denizens of Zion could imagine.* Urban legend holds that this short was written by Ed Wood, though I’d say it’s far too well plotted.
Chinese action director John Woo (no doubt cheered on by his own last name) takes on the world of Mission: Impossible with all the great performances of Broken Arrow and all the plausibility of Face/Off (not to mention face removal and off-putting faces...but I digress).
Fun With Flicks: The Wasp Woman
Roger Corman’s THE WASP WOMAN tells the oh-so-progressive story of Janice Starlin (Susan Cabot), a successful-but-aging cosmetics executive who is destroyed by her own obsession with youth and beauty (SPOILER, by the way).
There are many riffs of Twilight but this one is mine. And Twilight ain't your parents vampire movie. In fact, some may argue that it's not a vampire movie at all. It could be viewed as "The most epic Romance since Titanic"-according to Hollywood.com or it could be viewed as an instructional video for those want to make the ability to win a staring contest into a career. Then again, it could be both.
Once upon a time in the seventies, a science fiction movie arrived in theaters that redefined what movies could be. It was exciting, magical, overwhelming! That movie, of course, was Star Wars...then Paramount asked "What do we have that we can use to milk these sci-fi fans dry with?"
Thus Star Trek made its debut in film with Star Trek: The Motion Picture, a story so big, so massive, so filled with endless repetitive and slow paced minature effects shots, that it took the big screen to hold it all.
Ahh the Philippines. A lovely island nation off the Asian coast, the Philippines boasts a rich culture that flows over all its seven thousand plus islands.
And the soda, ahh the tasty soda.
What? I just thought we could take some time and talk about Coca Cola and the Philippines, what's your problem? It's not like I came up with it on my own, back in 1955 there was a whole film made on just that, and I've come to share it with you today.
Enjoy this short of highest quality, and don't forget to pick up some sugar-filled beverage to enjoy with it.
