Just in time for the holidays, RiffTrax presents our take on A Visit to Santa, a Christmas short of unknown origin that most probably was the result of Santa’s short-lived collaboration with the producing team of Screwtape and Wormwood. Rather than being a right jolly old elf, Santa here is depicted as the Dark Prince of a vast slave empire made up entirely of children under 10 – it’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with less dignified clothing. Or put another way it’s Manos: The Hands of Fate without the elephantiasis.Mike, Kevin and Bill fall on it like a Christmas goose in a brand new downloadable video!
It works like this: You buy it here and they will email you a link to the “.tix” file, which you download, and then open with the Divx player (you DID install the player and set up an account with Divx, right?) and then you download the actual .divx file (it’s about 128 mgs).
The Rifftrax for “Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer” is now available.
The Fantastic Four are back! Or the Fantastic Four is back! Depending upon whether one is referring to the title of the film, the four individuals who are fantastic and number four, or the group of four fantastic people who use that title! The point is, they’re back! And this time, unlike the first, there’s a surfer made out of silver and he rises! It’s fantastic!
And if you’re a fan of repulsive, waxy-faced Australian Prime Minister’s sons as ineffectual villains, then you’re in clover, because this film is packed with them (well, it has one, total). But FF:ROTSS has much more going for it. The fact that we can’t think of a single thing does not in the least bit undermine our claim that it has a lot more going for it, because it does. Have a LOT more going for it. SO BUY OR RENT IT TODAY! IT’S FANTASTIC TIMES FOUR (rising of silver surfer included with every purchase).*
*You might want to buy the RiffTrax that Mike, Kevin and Bill made to accompany the film because to watch it sans RiffTrax is to commit an act of monstrous, suicidal recklessness.
