Special Event: iRiffs: ZARDOZ

October 3, 2024 4:57 PM

MST Club presents! Some years ago Rifftrax piloted a means by which people could record riffs for movies themselves that they'd sell through the site, a program that they called iRiffs. It appears that iRiffs can no longer be found on Rifftrax site searches, but Google can still turn up the pages, and they can still be bought. That is how I purchased this riff of ill-advised Sean Connery vehicle Zardoz, produced by a group known as FilmRoasters. I don't know if FilmRoasters is still active, but they have a Youtube channel, which the address filmroasters.com redirects to. The most recent videos on the Youtube channel are six years old. I don't know how old the Zardoz riff is, but if it's six years old that would put its release at around 1998. FilmRoasters appears to be comprised of Eric Vinyard, Brandon Bates and Wes Allen.

Six years would be 2018, surely?

It would, sorry, typo.

I found a collection page on the Rifftrax site with six other FilmRoasters items.

I spotted another typo - I think you meant to say "one of the greatest movies of the 70s" instead of "Ill-advised"
