Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000)
A children's film from 2000 with a loose, paper-thin plot, Alec Baldwin at his wackiest, a teenage Mara Wilson, Peter Fonda succeding way too much at being a depressed old man, and corny bad guys who motives are never clear. With 2020 being the 20th anniversary of the film, it's time this film got what it deserves.

This would make such a great riff. There are so many moments that need to be riffed. In fact, I would say it is a crime against humanity not to riff this film.

I love Thomas the Tank Engine. I love Shining Time Station. I hate this movie. Throws all previous continuity out the window. Edited to shreds, cutting a major character, thus leaving behind lazy plotting. Alec Baldwin is NOT George Carlin OR Ringo Starr. Peter Fonda just sits around looking depressed. Mara Wilson suffers from "dull surprise" in her last film role.
Actually, I bet she'd be thrilled you guys were riffing this!
