Wishing you, your families, friends, and rats a fantastic (and glue trap-free) 2008. Thanks for supporting this joint.

It’s been a great year for trends in general, which show no signs of trending down. This year saw a near-record number of tendencies become avocations, several skipping the penchant stage and quickly becoming full-blown trends.

We’ve done a whole bunch of superhero movies here on Rifftrax. And I’m guessing we’ll riff on one or two more before this clambake is over.
There’s one coming up soon, in fact. (Remember you riff-writers: Kevin loves to do his Penny Marshall impression, and Mike can’t yodel enough!)
But none of the […]

First, take a look at this. It’s the most recent version of the Fifty Dollar bill…

Though I just shoveled approx. 38,000 cubic tons of it, the new snow is beautiful here in Minnesota on this Christmas Eve 2007. (Somewhere Bing Crosby is smiling, sipping his celestial Minute Maid Orange Juice.)
