RiffTrax - MST3K Gets Reborn!
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) was a cult television comedy series based on a man and his robot sidekicks trapped on a satellite in space and forced to watch terrible movies, especially science fiction B-movies. In order to stay sane while watching some of the most terrible movies ever made, Joel (later replaced by Mike) would make running commentary on the film, making fun of every second of it (riffing).
Unfortunately, MST3K was canceled in 1999. However, RiffTrax has been born on the web! Although, you don’t get your favorite silhouettes of the crew, you still get all the great hilarious commentary from Mike Nelson and various other guests to make it through some legendary great films like Mariah Carey’s “Glitter” or “Roadhouse” and even newer movies such as “Casino Royale” and dozens of others.
RiffTrax offers you to download an MP3 of their commentary and you can sync it up with your DVD and they also offer some pay-to-play videos on demand.
Long live MST3K!

I’m a big MST3K fan myself, every movie is a good movie if you’ve ever seen Manos Hands of Fate
It’s awesome to see some new MST3K stuff out there, especially with newer movies.
