3 More Movies Perfect for RiffTrax


Being the fan of RiffTrax that I am, I find it fun to think about movies that I would like to see get riffed.  Last March, I made the case for three movies, and this past October, No Retreat, No Surrender(one of the movies from my first list) was released by RiffTrax.  That makes me one for three on my suggestions!

Now, after almost a year of watching some more terrible films, I have another list of three more that would be perfect for RiffTrax!

3 RiffTrax Movies to Watch Instead of the Golden Globes


The Golden Globes are on tonight, but who wants to watch a long, boring awards show?  Instead, you could spend that time watching horrible movies made funny by RiffTrax!

Here are three recent RiffTrax releases that would fill your Sunday evening with far more entertainment than a bloated awards ceremony.

Review: Maple Bacon, Watermelon, & Chocolatey Caramel Pop-Tarts

A few months ago, we got word that some new Pop-Tarts flavors were coming out this winter.  I have been looking out for them for the last month, and I finally found them!


I have also found the first ever Pop-Tarts flavor that I detest.

12 Drinks of Christmas: Bowl Full of Jelly

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixolog!  Our staff of Mixologists have racked their brains (and livers) to come up with special "bottom shelf" versions of popular drinks, and some original creations that range from "oh, that might be interesting" to "that sounds absolutely disgusting".  


The year is almost over, and so is the holiday season!  Our 12 Drinks of Christmas is still stumbling along, but that is also just about finished.

Today's drink is themed around the jolly fat man himself: Santa!

Drink 11: Bowl Full of Jelly

  • 1 pkg Store Brand Cherry Gelatin Mix
  • 1 pkg Store Brand Lime Gelatin Mix
  • 2 cups Crystal Palace Vodka
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 Tangerine

Peel the tangerine, and cut it up in small chunks.  Set aside.

Put the vodka in the freezer.  The colder it is, the better!

Boil one cup of water, and then put it in a large bowl with the lime gelatin mix.  Stir until the mix is dissolved, then add in a cup of the vodka.  Stir well, and pop the bowl in the refrigerator for a few minutes.  Remove the bowl, and stir in about half of the tangerine pieces.  Place back in the fridge.

Wait about an hour, and then boil the other cup of water, and follow the same directions.  After you have added the tangerine chunks, pour the cherry mixture into the same large bowl as the lime mixture.

This mixture is extremely potent, and it probably won't solidify, but you want it to be a little bit loose.  It is easier to serve and drink.

After enough of this, your cheeks will also be like roses, and your nose like a cherry!
