I still have to say that it was the worst rifftrax (track?) so far, for my previous reasons. It didn't help that this was one of the most cringe-worthy riffed films since Manos, or Merlin's yadda yadda yadda.
Come on now, we're trying to do the good cop / bad cop routine here.  Mike has the silky smooth vocals.  My voice sounds like testicles in a blender.  Mike has references to obscure actors and "words with multiple syllables."  I have gay jokes.  Mike looks like a normal human being.  I'm some sort of animated scarecrow trapped in a windstorm.  How can you not appreciate this artistic synergy?

I liked it better than I thought I would, you just need to get some "boom" in your voice.

WHOA the man himself speaks and what not.  Congrats on the track i have to hear ;)  How was the party and also the party cleanup mr tax?
It went very well, it seemed like everybody had a good time.  No real cleanup; goons may be socially awkward, but they're almost always very polite and well mannered.  Also Tarantulas wasn't as psychotic as I expected; he was a good guy with a fun sense of humor.  I guess the Internet just makes you act odd sometimes!

me i try to act odd all the time ;)  Glad it went well and that your domicile wasnt trashed in a goonish frenzy.  It would be cool for me to go to one of these rifftrax meets but it just wont be plausible for quite sometime.

I've (obviously) never taken any voice lessons before, and don't know crap about speaking besides the fact that your mouth is somehow involved in it.  If and when we do the next one, I'll be more conscious of my voice and try to do a better job.

I would like to see you riff on one of the more mainstream ones personally, just to see the contrast

I'd rather take the crummy, un-mainstream movies, to differentiate myself from the traditional MST3k riffing crew.  I can't really compete with Kevin and Co., so it might be better if I would be given the movies the MST3k crew wouldn't normally perform on Rifftrax.

well Lowtax, quite some time ago I was reading your movie reviews and actually went out to rent "The Stuff".  I'm not sure if you remember that gem, but it was about this marshmellowy food that killed people when they ate it... yeah, that was classic.  i'd love to see you and mike take that one on, but i have a feeling that will never EVER be on DVD.  After the pain and suffering us Troll 2 fans had to deal with for even suggesting they do a B-movie on Rifftrax, I don't think it'll happen again for a while now. 

In any case, good job on the rifftrack.  Was Mike fun to work with?  And as some people here were wondering, how involved were you really with the writing?

You dont have to compete with them you just got to do your own thing.  While i assume that is usually B movies you it might be neat to just see how well you do with one ;)  just my 2 cents

I thought Lowtax was a nice fit, which I honestly did not expect whatsoever.  Hope to see you in another upcoming one.

You did good man, well worth purchasing this one.

Yeah but you already said that before it was even released, so why should it mean anything now?

I thought this was a hilarious rifftrax and Rick and Mike sounded pretty natural together.   The movie itself was not Manos bad; Troll2 was bad on a different "hey, anyone can make a movie level".   Very happy with this effort.

I just wished that I was closer to Lee's Summitt (hmmm, growing up in STL I NEVER thought that before) so I could have ground pizza into Rich's floor and spilled beer (on his cloth seats).  

Anything from the "Joe Estevez" library would be a nice follow up.
