Finding Bigfoot
This show is so asking for the same treatment as Man v. Monster. Every twig snapping is clearly a squatch messing with these intrepid truth seekers. Between Bobo's impersonations of Bigfoot, and Matt falling every five minutes, this show needs to be taken on by Rifftrax.

Shelley and Pete
Just posted on Youtube by the US National Archives: "Shelley and Pete (...and Carol) from 1980. 23 minutes. Shelley and Pete are in High School and having sex. Then they get pregnant and their lives are ruined. (Their lives were already pretty terrible as it was the '70s, which I can tell you from personal experience sucked."

Leviathan (1989)
Leviathan (the 1989 version) is the only movie I've ever wanted to get my money back from. I mean it is BAAAAD. Better to forget about it, so I did. Now I hope you'll dare to watch this horrid piece and decide to riff it.

Demon Cop
Yes. That Demon Cop has a mullet. Yes you can see that his hands are in bulky, not very well-made gloves. The action and acting is incredible---y lame.
1990- it has much in common with other cheesy 90s action films.17 votes -
Carnivale in Rio
It's Arnold Schwartzenegger celebrating Carnivale in Rio just being himself in front of a camera. Plus he teaches a Portuguese translator English by using a carrot.

Old Battle of the Network Stars Episodes
In the 70's and 80's Battle of the Network Stars featured everybody from Little House on the Prarie actors to Vicki Lawrence from Mama's Family! Oh, and who could leave out our mellow truck driving invisi-watch 70's buddy: Ben Murphy! I'm not joking; he was on there!!!

My Pet Monster
An hour long, straight to VHS promo for a hot toy in the mid 80s. My Pet Monster was a huggable doll with an angry face, but in this movie he becomes a gigantic freak show that probably traumatized countless kids, with a back story about statues and magic and all kinds of nonsense.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks
In the human world parallel to Equestria, a reformed Sunset Shimmer is ostracized by most of Canterlot High School despite her efforts to atone for her past bullying. Her only friends are the counterparts of Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity, who have formed a rock band called "the Rainbooms" to participate in the school's upcoming musical showcase. The five girls discover that the magic left over from Princess Twilight Sparkle's crown has given them the ability to grow pony-like ears, tails, and wings whenever they play their instruments.
Hoping to make a fresh impression, Sunset gives a school tour to three new students – Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze – and informs them of the showcase, unaware that they possess magical singing voices. Calling themselves "the Dazzlings", the trio perform a song that turns the other students aggressive and competitive towards each other, convincing them to turn the friendly showcase into a Battle of the Bands. Sunset and her friends are protected from the song by their own magic, but fail to convince the bewitched Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna of the danger. Sunset remembers a book that magically copies whatever she writes into another kept by Princess Celestia, her former mentor in Equestria, which she uses to send a message requesting Twilight's help.
Princess Celestia's book is delivered to Twilight's castle in Ponyville. Receiving Sunset's message, Twilight deduces that the Dazzlings are banished sirens from Equestria that feed on negative emotions to fuel their singing powers for their goal of world conquest. Twilight uses the book's magic to reactivate the portal between worlds, allowing her and Spike to return to the parallel world. Twilight and the girls attempt to use the magic of their friendship to lift the Dazzlings' spell, but it takes no effect. Concluding that they must perform a musical counter-spell, the girls enter the Battle of the Bands to give Twilight time to complete the spell, though her poor songwriting proves fruitless. The Rainbooms face hostility and sabotage from the bewitched bands throughout the competition, which raises existing tensions among Twilight's friends over certain aspects of their band.
Desperate for time in the semifinal round against Trixie's band, Rainbow Dash performs an egotistical song to substitute the counter-spell and nearly transforms, which forces Sunset to ruin her performance to keep her from exposing their plan to the Dazzlings. Despite this, the Dazzlings intervene to allow the Rainbooms' advancement to the final round, goading a jealous Trixie into trapping the Rainbooms beneath the stage to take their place. Isolated for hours, Twilight's friends finally snap and enter a heated argument, allowing the Dazzlings to absorb their magic. Sunset, realizing that their constant infighting is interfering with Twilight's spell, convinces the girls to resolve their differences, while Twilight reasons that simply playing together as friends will make the counter-spell work.
Spike rescues the girls with assistance from DJ Pon-3, a student whose headphone music protects her from the Dazzlings' spell. DJ Pon-3 provides a sound system that the Rainbooms use to engage the Dazzlings in a musical battle. Overwhelmed by the Dazzlings' projected siren forms, the Rainbooms are joined by Sunset, who assumes her own pony-like form; with her help, the Rainbooms are able to destroy the pendants that provide the Dazzlings with their singing abilities, rendering the trio tone-deaf. Returning to its harmonious state, the school drives the powerless Dazzlings away and praises the Rainbooms. Twilight and Spike return to Equestria, while Sunset finds acceptance from the rest of the school and uses Princess Celestia's book to remain in contact with Twilight.
In a post-credits scene, the alternative world's counterpart of Twilight studies the outflux of magical activity around Canterlot High School.

Hypnotic eye
A creepy hypnotist movie, perfect for riffing. One of the first scenes a cop questions a badly burned woman. She appears to die ( although she's returns later in the film) as the doctor pulls the sheet over her head, the cop remarks " it's probably just as well. "
Later in the film we see that that creepy hypnotist secretly plants suggestions to gorgeous women, that they visit his dressing room, alone, at night. And what does he do with them?! What any red blooded man would do when a woman is completely in his power, and will have no memory the next day of what will occur... he takes them to an expensive dinner. Whaaat?!! This movie is perfect for riffing.
Please! Please!!

The Hateful Eight
Not the best of Tarantino. It might be too long (one version of the film has an intermission) and did we need the flashback? But anyway, lots of long drawn out, silent scenes makes it good for Riffin'.

Somewhere Tomorrow
This is an early 1980s supernatural teen romance starring a young Sarah Jessica Parker and her annoying singing voice. SJP's character, Lori, is upset that her mother is remarrying a few years after her father's death. She witnesses a plane crash and speaks with one of the two survivors, a young and handsome (I mean, by early 80s standards, I guess) man named Terry. Soon, Lori learns that Terry actually died in the crash, but that's ok, because his ghost keeps following her around spouting off inspirational crap to help her cope with her father's death. Along the way, they sing sappy songs that will make you cry tears of awkwardness, play hilarious(ly annoying) tricks on one another, and say incomprehensible lines like, "You'd look awfully funny walking around with an invisible shoulder."
Fat and alive Gary Coleman's younger twin brother (idk how that works, either) costars as captain of the friendzone team.

Marathon
Ok, so I am not suggesting a movie to riff per sey. What I am suggesting is that you guys do a marathon just like MST3k.
Of coarse you don't do one on Thanksgiving as not to impede on MST3k. But maybe do a marathon on either Halloween or Christmas (or maybe both!)
This is what you guys would do:
First, provide a list of movies that will be in the marathon so that way if there any that the customers have not purchased yet, they can do so
Next, you would make bumpers and host segments introducing the marathon and each movie and sell it (make sure tho that each clip is an individual file)
You may also want to provide instructions on how the customers would set up the marathon (make an individual folder, number each file 1, 2, ect.)
And there you have it, a bad movie marathon with a touch of riffing just like mother used to makeOk, so I am not suggesting a movie to riff per sey. What I am suggesting is that you guys do a marathon just like MST3k.

Astro Boy
From the guy who gave us the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies, this animated film is a less than stellar modern adaptation of the famous robot boy who was to manga what superman was to comics.
