Last night I got my first chance to check out a few Riff trax over at a friend's place.
For all of those who remember MST3K, you might not know that after the series ended Mike Nelson, the lead writer and star, continued on his work with a website called Rifftrax.com. The website offers, for a fee of about 1 to 5 dollars, audio files you can download that you synch up and play with movies and riff on them, much the same way they riffed on movies in MST3K. He works with his two co-stars, the guys who voiced over Tom Servo and Crow from the show (though it varies from one riff to anouther, some tracks just having only Mike or Mike and just one of the two co-stars) and also some guest stars like Neil Patrick Harris and Chad Vader. They have done riffs on movies ranging from Lord of the Rings to Battlefield Earth. They update with new tracks about once every 2 or 3 weeks and they accept suggestions on their forum and actualu visit the forum so you can chat with them as well.
The website is

And is definately worth taking a look at. They offer free samples for nearly all their rifftrax so take a look and see if any of them are with the small price. I can say that the one for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory is amazing. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to piss myself.
