It's Cowboys & Aliens in the Wild Wild West! How could a sci-fi western about either of those things possibly be bad?

A sleepy western town has been overrun. Not by varmints, but by D-list actor cameos! No amount of fame is too minor or fleeting to warrant disproportionate amounts of screentime!

Issac Hayes! Julie Newmar! And of course a rarely seen acting appearance by professional meme sharer George Takei!

Standing in their way is the evil alien Redeye, who has fallen on hard times after his successful southern gravy campaign. He's in a bad mood, possibly because whatever his cheap lizard mask is made of is itching like hell, maybe even causing a lifelong skin condition. At the very least it certainly can't smell very good.

All this, plus sexy cyborgs, steampunk sidekicks, some actually pretty cool stop motion effects, that creepy guy from Twin Peaks, (no, not that one, the other one), and zero, we repeat ZERO huge robot spiders! Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Oblivion!

Tell these guys to slow down!  I'm still backlogged!  No excuses about having to produce these to make a living!

I suggested this on the RiffTrax Feedback site a short time ago. Didn't know they were already putting together a VOD. This is awesome. I hope for more and more Full Moon releases in the future.

I was hoping it was this Oblivion!

Written by comic book (and many Star Trek novels) legend Peter David.

So I got around to watching it. The first thing I realized is that around 14 minutes of footage was missing. Several scenes, including the church scene, Zack finding the gold, Andrew Divoff out of make-up, etc. I've noticed RiffTrax has been shortening their films lately. Their VODs now being around 80 minutes, but IMDb lists longer running times. Not sure why this is. Maybe they find it easier to riff shorter films, I don't know. Unless the copyright owners, like Full Moon, suggested shortening them for whatever reason. They riffed the extended European version of RETRO PUPPET MASTER. Is there a shorter, foreign version of OBLIVION I've never heard of?

There are many threads about this for the other movies. The official quote from THRASHALLA is:

The movies are being edited for content, pacing, and just overall comedy.  It's the same thing that they used to do with MST, just now it doesn't have to be done for ad breaks. They go through the move, give me the timecode that they want cut, I make it look as natural as I can. In the end it enables them to riff movies that have potential but they otherwise wouldn't touch.

If that means we don't get tortured "skits" for slow parts than I am all for it. I trust the guys to make things funny.  My only personal concern is that sometimes I can find HD versions of things they don't release in HD and now it would be really hard to take their audio and mux it into a HD file.

Still not sure about trying this one. I can't stand westerns. It's just the most boring of all settings.

The great thing about RiffTrax is they make fun of bad movies. You should try one sometime.

I gave this one a shot. It really is just a western, with all the bad western cliches. The riffing was pretty good, though.
