I hope my sister owns this, mind you if she doesn't she's probably the only woman in Western society who doesn't!
Oh, and who are the guest riffers? I've never heard of them.

Cole Stratton:
Cole Stratton is currently "paying his dues" in Los Angeles, where he enjoys losing parts to minorly more successful actors such as Barry Levinson's nephew. A noted improviser, he's done crazy make-em ups with Greg Proops, Patton Oswalt, Jack McBrayer, Scott Adsit, Rick Overton, Matt Walsh and Jeff Garlin, to name a few. Due to planet alignment, he has appeared on TV's Nash Bridges, re-enacted on America's Most Wanted, played with puppies and Betty White on the Animal Planet original The Retrievers, thrown-down like the sarcastic white boy he is on Wilmer Valderrama's Yo Momma, and was a cast member on NBC's competitive comedy show Comedy Colosseum. He's a lead in the indie comedy Callback opposite Kevin Farley, and has also appeared in the films Around the Fire and Dead Man on Campus. He's also hawked wares in national commercials for Verizon, Pizza Hut, Popeye's Chicken and most recently in a Wilco-scored VW spot. Along with Janet Varney, he is co-founder and co-creative director of SF Sketchfest, the San Francisco Comedy Festival (www.sfsketchfest.com). He also co-founded the Bay Area sketch collective Totally False People (who performed at the 2004 HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado), and LA's improvising Pretty, Pretty Pony and Mosey. He performs weekly in Santa Monica with The Westside Eclectic's house improv team, Ladies and Gentlemen. He auditioned for the role of Max Fischer in Rushmore. He didn't get it.
Janet Varney
Janet Varney works as both a producer and actor in Los Angeles. She has most recently appeared on such shows as How I Met Your Mother, Entourage, the Steven Spielberg-produced series On the Lot, USA’s Psych, and finished a sketch pilot for Fox with Will and Grace's Sean Hayes in March 2008. She also just completed roles in the feature films Still Waiting and Nicand Tristan, and is enjoying her fourth year as host of TBS's Dinner and a Movie. She performs live with improv group Mosey, produces and hosts the variety show Theme Park with Cole Stratton, and is currently working on the 60 Frames broadband series Beneath Contempt she created and wrote with Stephen Brophy. Roles on other new broadband series include MSN's Republicrats and the Michael Eisner-produced Back on Topps with Randy and Jason Sklar. Janet is co-founder and co-director of SF Sketchfest, the San Francisco Comedy Festival. And it looks like it's just the guests, no Mike, Bill or Kevin. Conor did mention that they were writers on the Harry Potter 2 riff as well. |

Cheers for the info Joshway.
I must say I'm a little disappointed that Mike won't be tackling a Swayze film!

I've never actually seen this, and in all honesty, I have no intention of watching it for the time being. If it turns out to be one of the all-time great riffs, I'll give it a go, but as for now, I think I'm gonna pass.

So far I'm not bothering with the all-guest riffers ones. I would have liked to see Mike do Dirty Dancing, though. (Not actual dirty dancing.)

I really enjoyed Matthew Elliott's work so the lack of the big 3 wont scare me off - I'll give this a shot. An old GF made me watch this, it was her favorite movie and she'd watch it all the time.... even if a football game was on!  I don't know anyone who owns it currently. I'll ask my bro if his wife has it (man I can imagine the conversation now - "Hey, do you have a copy of Dirty Dancing I can borrow--- uh, er, and some Rambo too!") |

The guest riffers have been pretty good, but I agree with a lot of you that I wish Mike and the guys would have had a go at this one.
"No one puts Baby in a corner." Classic.

I was also really looking forward to Mike doing this one. I might see this one in the future.

I've never seen Dirty Dancing. I've read about it in the Agony Booths review of Road House and since I've been a avid fan of "Trailer Park Boys," I'm at least familiar with the concept. I am going to try this one and see. Julian, please don't shoot me!  Update: Oh brother, I just kinda flipped through the chapters this morning and I don't know if I have what it takes to make it through this movie.  I hope it's a good rifftrax that makes me wanna hang in there and hear the jokes, because the movie looks like it has nothing I want to watch in a movie. Another Update: Couldn't watch it. A chick Flick. Pulled the plug after 20 minutes. It was NOT the Riffing teams fault. They were funny. No sirree Bob am I gonna sit down and watch one of these things ever again. Reason? Long ago I had a girlfriend that insisted we go to the movies to watch these things and we watched 'em at home on the tube whenever one was scheduled. Never---Again. Not for love, money nor my favorite entertainment..Riffing. Too painful. Bleh! |
