What is included with Friends subscriptions?

When you subscribe to Friends, you'll get instant access to hundreds of RiffTrax Movies and Shorts from our vast RiffTrax catalog that are three years old and older. "Just the Jokes" products and Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes are not included in Friends subscriptions.




NEW! Click here for the Best Friends catalog - featuring fresher content (one year old and beyond), PLUS includes streaming Just the Jokes titles as well as 1-Click Play options on select Just the Joke audio commentary track titles! (Requires a subscription to one of the movie's current streaming service options.)

Does a Friends subscription include everything from the site?


Unfortunately, no. We're a small company and, unlike the Netflixes of the world, we don't have a vast library of content to offer, which means including everything would be unsustainable in the long term. While we are still exploring ways we might expand the Friends titles that are available, a Friends subscription includes all-you-can-stream access to hundreds of riffs from our back catalog - usually a few years old and older, which is still a HUGE majority of our available releases! 

BEST FRIENDS get even more riffing goodness - including a 24/7 Always-On Stream! Tune in anytime and let us be your guide into B-movie cheese. (Be sure to drill down into all of our collections and genres to really get an idea of all that we have to offer.) 

If you're looking for more, fresher content, consider the Best Friends subscription tier. While it doesn't include everything, it does include the vast majority of catalog titles, starting with titles that are 1 year old relative to today's date. 

What makes RiffTrax Friends different?


Unlike those other 3rd party services like Tubi, Pluto and Twitch, the content from Friends is the original content as we released it. Twitch, for instance, has restrictions on language and other content, and so the version that you watch there is different from the one on Friends or the website. (GorillaGram, anyone?) But as a subscriber to Friends, you'll be provided with the video as it exists in our catalog.

In addition, the content that is up on Tubi and those other "Free with Ads" services is much smaller compared to Friends titles. For various reasons including corporate greed, many of those streaming services take a large share of revenue. But with Friends on RiffTrax.com, not only are you supporting our little team directly, but you can rest assured that the Friends catalog will have the most RiffTrax titles anywhere.
