Hello everyone, Conor here. We recorded a new RiffTrax last week, and it's one of my favorites in a long time. An utterly ridiculous movie starring Mario Lopez called The Journey: Absolution.
There is a lot to say about it, and we will have more for you soon, but one of the first things that stands out is that The Journey: Absolution is quite possibly the most shirtless movie we've done since Top Gun. Since a healthy portion of this shirtlessness takes place in a military locker room, this does not go unacknowledged by us throughout the riffing. However, after the recording was complete, I realized that to my deep shame that we omitted to make a specific joke about the Kenny Loggins song from the Top Gun soundtrack "Playin' With the Boys."
My shame was so deep that I cut together a little preview of what you can expect from our release this week. As you watch, keep in mind that A) this is a real movie B) No, it's not THAT kind of movie and C) as all this is happening most of humanity has been destroyed by an asteroid.
Please enjoy The Journey: Absolution in the style of the legendary Top Gun volleyball scene.
