And so there we have it, a semi-comprehensive look at the first wave of RiffTrax titles on DVD. These titles hit stores on June 16 but are available now at the RiffTrax website. I think it goes without saying, but these titles comes recommended to any fan of RiffTrax or Mystery Science Theater 3000 — plus, how can you pass up all of those jokes about a Wendy’s Baconator or any item on the Arby’s menu?
Luigi Bastardo is the disgruntled alter-ego of Adam Becvar, a thirtysomething lad from Northern California who has watched so many weird movies since the tender age of 3 that a conventional life is out of the question. …

Snorticle! I too miss MST3K, and I hadn't realized RiffTrax had covered so many films. Nice work.
I downloaded their audio-only RiffTrax for The Matrix, and I've been sold ever since. Funny, funny stuff.

Thanks, Phillip. I haven't heard the RiffTrax for The Matrix yet...I can't bring myself to watch that movie again. I did manage to check out their commentary for Twilight a few weeks ago and that movie most assuredly had it coming.

They recently riffed the sparkly vampire movie Twilight... it's the best they've done thus far, I think.

My significant other was rather obsessed with Twilight a while back (poor thing) so I jumped at that RiffTrax just to break the monotony if nothing else. The "Benny Hill" moment was wonderful.

I also think that their treatment of the dreadful movie The Happening is extremely funny, and very well deserved. That movie is so incredibly awful that I was already laughing constantly when I originally watched it on it's own, and I knew right away that it would make for an excellent Rifftrax.
