I love that Janet & Cole riff. They’ve got their own thing happening and I dig it.

If you were unfamiliar with these performers, you’d absolutely think that Annie Go-Go Oakley there is THE Lash Larue. :dizzy_face:

I bought Ladyhawke but haven’t watched it yet, so thanks for the reminder.
Cole and Janet were great on Dreamscape, so I know they’re good.

This one looks like a complete train wreck, and not in the good way.

That poster reminds me of something I had on my wall when I was a teenager, that was included in a greatest hits collection…

But why? Makes want to watch the Trax just to find out if there is a why, even though I’ve near to sworn off these no-budget turds.

[whisper] That’s how they get’cha’!! [/whisper]

Maybe the script clumsily pastes Dylan stuff onto a nonsensical plot much like some doofus did with Beach Boys lyrics and R.O.T.O.R.

Looked this one up on IMDb and found this interesting tidbit:

On the 4 September 2013 episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (2005), Elijah Wood said that he was five years old when he watched his first horror movie - Truth or Dare?: A Critical Madness (1986), which was a then-newly released. He said that it was what made him fall in love with horror films, that it remains one his all-time favorite horror movies, and that he has introduced it to several of his friends over the years.

Well, that’s one way to be exposed to the genre. :upside_down_face:

Elijah Wood must have lived near the hippest indie video store at the time because even I have never heard of this movie. I wasn’t even aware of horror at age 5.

I remember seeing this movie when it premiered. The riffs are okay, I guess. But I kept looking at my watch. Our Heroes seemed almost as bored as I was.

This is where you can really see the shortcomings of doing a show with no sketches. The idiotic ending of this toxic-positivity drivel really cried out for some more detailed satire/mockery. Also, so much padding and repetition. Cutting out a quarter or so of it to make that kind of room wouldn’t have hurt the nonsensical story at all.

Okay, so real talk: I own the studio version of Samurai Cop, and it is one of my all-time favorite RT films. Is it worthwhile to buy the live version? Is there anything extra that is worth the money? Let’s assume that I get 30% off of it somehow.

Meh. The short (Manners in School) is pretty decent, but I don’t feel like the live riff is an upgrade. It’s a slightly different edit of the movie and there are a few other changes here and there. I still watch it from time to time but prefer the studio version.
