I learned that it's shockingly easy to get excited about a Rifftrax.

TriffRax

I learned that James Nguyen is a true master of the bad movie.

I learned that Kevin hit the "Wait, what?!?" point at about the same time I did when I first watched it.

Sugar Ray Dodge

I learned that it is entirely possible to have your head explode from awesomeness.

I learned The Birds wasn't the only movie that Nguyen tried to homage. He did Vertigo too.

I learned Natalie has a brother. He was having lunch with her/his mother, so now we know what the elaborate tray of cold cuts were for.

I also learned that Rod bought Julie's parents house.
I also learned Natalie's mom was the executive producer of this film.

I also think I found a new Rifftrax that beats out the Apple for my favorite movie.

Now I go cup of coffee.
Finally I learned I cannot type today hence the edits and the need to go cup of coffee

Same here, plenty of times when I was ahead of the curve with the guys. I even noticed the prominent water cooler at the party before Bill said something about it.

I learned that Julie's parents lived in Rob from Birdemic's house.

I learned that Tippi Hedren will do a movie role, presumably, for nothing more than a half-punched Subway coupon.

I learned that our.... "hero"?   "Male lead?" "The guy the movie was focused on," took a shockingly long time to figure out the real reason why Julie wouldn't meet him in person.

I learned that revolutionary virtual reality programs and devices can run on, and last a long time on, an early 2000's laptop running off the battery.

I learned that revolutionary virtual reality programs some how just "know" what you look like in order to produce the in-VR avatar you, as well as "knowing" how you want to move through the virtual space and move your arms without any obvious means to input that information into the program.

She was in Ang Lee's Hulk as well. So that's two bad films set in Frisco. Zing!

I learned not to get drunk on wine while watching a Rifftraxed James Nguyen movie.  I literally laughed so hard I threw up at the "Bill's gone full Numa Numa Guy!" line.

Provide for a woman financially and she's obligated to have sex with you...

Either this movie endorses marriage in the 50's, or something illegal in the present.

I learned that James Nguyen knows who Ada Lovelace is, and that the Ada programming language is named after her. No joke. When your expectations of someone are already as low as possible, any sign of actual intelligence or knowledge comes as a shock.

I was actually kind of impressed that that little detail was gotten right.

I learned that a 20Ghz chip was remarkably hard to sell in the early 2000s.  Considering such a speed was orders of magnitude faster than anything that existed at the time, when we were just breaching the 1GHz barrier, but is orders of magnitude faster than what's possible with current microchip technology.  Such speeds are only just now being conceived of using radically different  microprocessor technology.

But some dumpy schlub who can't seem to buy a suit that fits him right can't even sell a 20Ghz chip in 2003.  Man, people back then were hard sells!

Well, to be fair, would you trust that guy?
