Drive (1998)
John Wick 3 (Mark Dacascos is actually in this movie) is hot right now, so a B list action movie would be a good addition since that also seems to be in full swing with the new VODs.

Zombie High
This movie is absolutely begging to be Riffed. It was apparently meant to be set in a college setting, but was changed to a high school Because Reasons. This results in the least convincing teenagers ever, as everyone that's a student is clearly in their twenties despite the film trying to pretend like they're in their teens.
The film also features a "love triangle". Why is this in parentheses? Because the film can't quite decide whether they want the professor character (yes, the love triange involves two 18-year olds and a thirty-something year old teacher ala a male Mary Kay LaTourneau) to be a charming love interest or a terrifying predator. As a result our leading lady is repeatedly approached by the stereotype of a manipulative ****** predatory instructor I like to call "Professor **** Eyes".
Seriously, at one point they have him approaching Virginia Madsen (who was in her mid twenties during this movie) while she's swimming. She rebuffs him by saying that he's her professor and that she's dropping his class, only for him to say that it "won't change anything". Basically telling her that repeatedly saying no means nothing and that running away only means he'll chase after her. Oh, did I mention that the love interest is a 102 year old "zombie"? Seriously, the interactions with these two make Bella and Edward seem reasonable and healthy as a couple. The relationship between Madsen and the professor looks like it will check off every box of those "unhealthy relationship" forms that social workers hand out to emotional and/or physical battery/assault victims.
The movie comes to a climactic end when it comes to overpowering and ending the zombie brainwashing. The ultimate weapon? Rock music. Terrible rock music, as they couldn't actually hire any name bands to perform. But only after Madsen and her boyfriend are chased by middle aged professor (and older) zombies, as well as ridiculously ineffective teenage ones.
The rights to this seem like they could be bought for a relative song, as this seems to be on every streaming service and then some. Plus Sherrilyn Fenn of Twin Peaks fame is in it!

El Chupacabra
From using a livingroom as a set for a psych ward to using the top stair of a staircase as a tripod to get what is possibly the world's most awkwardly framed shot this film just has so very much to offor.

Big Jim McLain
Watched it after Larry K. spotlighted it on Trailers from **** recently and saw where some of the callbacks in Hail, Caesar came from. It's pretty corny. Would you consider doing this in a future riff?

Little House on the Prairie: Gold Country
LHOTP goes for the gold in this special 95-minute episode. Thanks to a torrential downpour in Walnut Grove, the Ingalls and Edwards families go off to find gold. Like many LHOTP episodes, it doesn't go well.
Why it should be riffed:
1. The Italian gold prospector is every Italian stereotype come to life.
2. Mr. Edwards (Victor French is in it) Alas, he doesn't sing "Old Man Tucker."
3. Laura is responsible (unintentionally, of course) for grave digging/robbing. Not making this up.
4. Ma has to deal with drunken prospectors, trying to teach in a tent, and being near gunfights and painted ladies. Merciful Heavens!LHOTP goes for the gold in this special 95-minute episode.

G-Men from ****
My husband worked with Christopher Coppola few years back. That is how I saw this movie... It is terrible and it has Gary Busey, so I'm sure its worth a few riffs. You could do a lot of Nick Cage brother jokes for sure.

Erik: The Continuing Story
I don't have a movie idea today, I just want you to know that I did have an issue with my library, because I've been uncharacteristically dumb lately, what with one thing and another, and Friend Erik was so kind and helpful and supportive, and I appreciate him so much, and think you should give him a raise and a manly handshake ASAP.

what's the worst that could happen?
Caffery (Martin Lawrence) is a professional thief with taste and style who is trying to rob billionaire tycoon Max Fairbanks' (Danny DeVito) unoccupied beachfront mansion. But in the middle of the robbery, he finds himself face to face with Fairbanks. As Caffery is being arrested, Max sees a ring on Caffery's finger and claims it for himself. It's Caffery's engagement ring, and he's determined to get it back.
Based on: What's the Worst That Could Happen?; by Donald E. Westlakehttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161083/

micki and maude
a 1984 American romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Dudley Moore. It co-stars Tony Award-winning actress and dancer Ann Reinking as Micki and Amy Irving as Maude.
With the exception of appearances as herself, as in the documentary Mad Hot Ballroom in 2005, this has been Reinking's last film role as of 2019.
The film co-stars Wallace Shawn and includes two scenes with wrestler André the Giant in which he is introduced by his own name. Unlike their later roles in 1987's The Princess Bride, the two do not appear together onscreen.
This film was remade in Tamil as Rettai Vaal Kuruvi starring Mohan, Archana, and Rathika Sarathkumar, and directed by Balu Mahindra. It was also remade in Malayalam as Paavakoothu (1990) starring Jayaram, Parvathy and Ranjini.

Twinkle Nora Rock Me! (1985)
This will never come to fruition but I can only dream. Deemed one of the worst anime ever created, it's wonky, ugly, confusing and convoluted.

Witchboard
Tawny Kitaen and all of the actors performances, amazingly dated look and dialog that is begging for a riffing.

The Gong Show Movie
From Wikipedia:
The film shows a fictional week in the life of Chuck Barris as the host and creator of The Gong Show, through a series of outrageous competitors, stressful situations, a nervous breakdown (which compels him to run away and hide in the desert) and other comic hijinks in his life and work on the TV show. Among the highlights included a group of men dressed as a Roman Catholic priest and three nuns lip-synching Tom Lehrer's song "The Vatican Rag", a man blowing out a candle with *******, and the uncensored version of Jaye P. Morgan's infamous ***-baring incident.Why it should be riffed:
1. A very brief scene with Phil Hartman
2. Milton DeLugg is in it, who did the music to Santa Claus versus the Martians.
3. This film even disgusted George Burns, who wanted to get out of show business. Say goodnight, Gracie.From Wikipedia:
