A terrible force is growing in the deserts of New Mexico. Man’s ancient enemy grows stronger and more powerful with each passing day. Their numbers grow as we live our complacent, happy lives. All the while they plot against us, drawing strength from our own atomic weapons. Of course I can mean only one enemy. The foulest of the foul, the lowest of the low, humanity’s greatest threat, THEM! Yes, giant ants! Join Ben, Bob, Pam, Kibbie, and the old guy as they do battle with these carnivorous carapacers from hell! Seriously, it takes place in New Mexico. It’s a fight for survival and an epic struggle as only doughy middle-aged people of the 1950’s can provide! It’s one of the most exciting ramblings of an old scientist you’ve ever seen! It’s the film that started the whole mutated monster thing! It’s the next iriff from Mr.B.Natural! It’s not a VOD and its runtime is about 1:33:00!

Good stuff like the your other two. It's good to see where it all began.
Watch vigilant unimportant people want to stop overabundant overdominant overextravagant giant mutant tryant ants go on a rant through pleasant pollutant New Mexico.
Another great ruff on another great choice, this movie has all the chills and thrills of a "Lassie Come Home" or an "Incredible Mr. Limpet" Though one does wonder what a truly greet auteur, such as: Coleman Francis, would have done with such inspired material.
Keep 'em coming.
This is my first introduction into Mr. B Natural riffs and I was impressed. Definitely one of the best solo iriffs I've listened to thus far. Good audio quality, good riffing voice and some funny laugh out loud moments. You had me laughing pretty hard at the eye blinking scene. Lots of good stuff.
In the past someone who purchased this riff would find that syncing it up with the DVD properly was impossible but now, thanks to the very gracious help of Piobman, I'm happy to say that with the updated MP3 proper sync-up is now a breeze. If you've downloaded this before I would recommend getting the new version and if your looking into this for the first time rest assured you should have no problems with sync-up. The content is exactly the same, just the proper length now. Thanks for the support everybody. Especially you Piobman!
Some really great lines in here, the movie itself is a fun little b-grade romp so the one-man rifing works well because you can still follow and enjoy the movie. I'll definately be checking out more.
I will say, the riffs do not come a mile a minute (and by that, I mean not once every 2 seconds), but there still plenty of them, and they presented clearly and enjoyably. My only real critique would be that sometimes the jokes come in groups (as in, a few running gags about Cher's music come right in a row, and then are never used again), when they would have served best divvied up, but that's a minor complaint. Several very noteworthy gags, including an excellent comeback to "I'm caught!" and the ants constant attempts to surrender before being roasted and/or gassed.
The movie itself, holds up VERY well 50 years later. Good to pick a movie that does a lot of the heavy lifting.
Very funny iriff.
There were some empty patches without riffs, but the movie was so good, it could support it. I am guessing you were torn by the magically formula of "do I riff for the sake of riffing and filling holes, or leave holes in the riff".
Single person riffs are almost impossible to pull off, but you DID pull it off. Very well done and highly recommended.
Maybe finding a riffing partner to take your riffs to the next level would be a good thing.
Money very well spent here.
Thank you. I'm fond of it myself. My best work so far. I'm actually not afraid of silence like others seem to be. I feel no need to "riff for the sake of riffing." I'd rather have silence than a bad joke. There have been discussions about joint efforts between me and others so we shall see but I will always feel that be it a group or a just one person constant babbling is just annoying, not funny.
Thank you for the kind words and the rating. It's very much appreciated!
A solid riff all around. Despite some reviews about the riff not having enough jokes, I felt that there was plenty of them consistently throughout the film. I'm not generally a fan of one-person riffs, but that didn't seem to bother me here. I strongly recommend this iRiff. You owe it to yourself to at least check it out for free on YouTube, and I predict you'll come back for more.
