When a local TV host gets into a car accident with an electrician, she didn't count on one thing: that he would be the two time state champion who had also defended the interstate trophy in the ancient art of Kendo Swords. Because honestly, why would you count on that? It's patently absurd, clearly some sort of horrible plot contrivance. What the hell is a kendo sword anyways? Certainly nothing a grown man should be messing around with.

The point is, those two end up as Prisoners in the Lost Universe, which looks a heck of a lot like Earth except that there is a kind of tree that grows dinner plates, and another kind that grows pods of orange berries. Just try to wrap your little head around that, and also how a film this derivative and cheap looking came out the same year as Return of the Jedi. One thing it did have in common with that film, however, is the presence of horrible little sidekicks. Return of the Jedi had the Ewoks, and Prisoners has Malachi, who makes the Ewoks look like Martini sipping, bon mot spewing embodiments of class and dignity. Malachi...Damn, now we're thinking about Malachi again. He's...He's just the worst. Ugh.

He's also joined on the quest by the Green Man, who's called that because he's the same shade of blue as a Na'vi, a giant killer baby in a diaper, and a talking vulture. Grab your finest kendo sword and get ready to defend the interstate trophy with Prisoners of the Lost Universe!

Wow. It's got Apollo in it. That's a very good sign.

That looks great!

The description confused me.  Then the clips confused me more.  This feels like Outlaw of Gor but with far less skin.

I'm starting to think that these films the guy have been getting have been spontaneously generating.

So it comes out today and it's not on the front page or in the catalog yet.  Weird they would just release it without any advance notice

Working my butt off all night so this news really helps ease the aches.  So too will the wine I'll be having with dinner later.

It was mentioned on Twitter and will come out in an e-mail.   Maybe this is a test to see the best way to announce coming events?

I dunno.. Not blasting it on the home page would not help 'spread the word' as much IMO..

I wonder where they do the websites and announces of new relieves that are not on the Rifftrax site.   I am sure they are searching for the right ones to find new customers and info people who may know of this site but are not "forum folks".

Hmm.. Perhaps.
I know I get my release updates from FB now but not on Twit, so maybe they should stick to the FB thing..

YAY!

[Action Batch]

So, I noticed in "Available Formats" on the product page, the list doesn't include Download to Burn. Is this true or an oversight?

Hmm.. Guess we'll find out once it's available..
