Kevin's Picks 2016

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's picking stuff. Whether it's choosing the perfect watermelon to drop off a roof at New Year's or discerning the super-premium, Polish column-distilled chestnut vodka from your average drugstore variety, I've pretty much got this "hand-selected" thing down pat.

The same is true about picking my favorite RiffTrax titles of years past. While narrowing down the finalists is always a gargantuan effort, it is my hope that the ones I've singled out will also resonate with you, the sagacious customer.

Without further ado, please take a gander at my list of hand-selected "faves" for 2016 at a remarkable discount, which I'll admit, is the one thing on this page I didn't choose. I've also written a little blurb about each one and why I put it on this most coveted of lists.

Please enjoy!

P.S.: This offer ends this Saturday at midnight.

Because Midichlorian N. Shyamalan attempts to terrify us with airborne germs that cause people to off themselves, and ends up with a collection of the most hilarious suicides ever caught on film.

Because it’s the kind of movie I used to watch in my pajamas late on a Friday night on Creature Features. ... When I was a kid, I mean. Features legendary horror icons Bela Lugosi, John Carradine and George Zucco, serving up more ham than a Lutheran picnic.

Because it’s a horror movie sequel equivalent to JAWS 3, gives us big helpings of Robert Loggia and kills off the guy who played that cop on that TV show (spoiler). Contains my favorite final scene of any movie we’ve ever done.

Because Bob Crane, TV’s Colonel Hogan, utters these words: “If we learn to care for others, to respect others we’ll learn how to care for, to respect our country.” If anyone can tell me what the hell that means, I’ll send them a dollar.


Because never has a music trio with a mandolin lead sung so lovingly about pork. Unless you’re vegetarian, vegan, Kosher or Halal, this film will make you hungry enough to drool and leave the house immediately for a crown roast.


Because apparently in postwar Santa Monica, children constantly imperiled themselves and their friends with weaponry, explosives and common household objects, and were rushed to the hospital on a daily basis.


Because, come ON! It’s a BABY MOOSE! It’s friggin’ ADORABLE! If you buy any of our animal-based shorts - and we have roughly eleven thousand of them - Make it MOOSE BABY.
