We're Goin' To The Roadhouse, Gonna Have A Re-al...a Good Time!

Who didn't love Mystery Science Theater 3000? Joel, the Bots, Mike, the Mads...and the movies!

Where did they dig some of this stuff up?

And sure, they lingered a little too long on Sci Fi and wore the premise a little thin, but the basic idea of riffing on flms, well, that never gets old.

And now, Mike Nelson has brought it all back with Riff Trax.

The idea is:

1) Mike watches a movie and cuts an audio-only MST-style riff track
2) You buy or rent the same movie, download the riff track and sync the audio to the picture


That's it: instant MST. And this new system has some advantages over the old system.

1) Being on the interweb, Riff Trax don't have to fit into network time slots, don't have to get ratings an don't have to be PG. It just has to be worth Mike Nelson's time and I mean, come on, how much could THAT possibly be worth?

2) The original MST suffered from copyright cock-block. So many great bad movies that people KNOW, so may of them starring Patrick Swayze, so little chance of getting Paramount to sign a release saying you can make extended fun of their prized ouevre.

But Riff Traks don't have this problem because Mike is not giving you the movie! He's just cutting a 100% original sound track meant to accompany the film.

Which means that Mike finally has the chance to MSTify the celebrated "Road House" in all it's full-length glory!

Sure, we miss out on the host segments and invention exchanges, but isn't it more fun to just do those parts yourself?

So, let's get out there and support MST on the web!
