The Last Shark (HD upgrade)
#1
Shark Month continues with one of the best ones out there, now with a proper HD release (during the actual Shark Week, no less!). Looks like we can finally eject that old DVD copy with awful colors 20 feet into the air like a stiff mannequin, this one is a huge upgrade sourced from a 1080p web rip. Not much in the way of new footage compared to what's been floating around, this sync took a ton of manual timing edits as well as moving it down to 23.976 fps along with dropping the speed to accommodate. My salute to Riffling's AI upgrade, it served us well! Enjoy

If RiffTrax still riffed complete movies, I would still be paying for them.

Thank you for filling the void.

If everyone was like you Rifftrax would shut down.  I'm beyond tired of people using the "If Rifftrax did this or that I would still be paying them" excuse for downloading everything for free without supporting Rifftrax.

Thanks Billy. Your efforts are appreciated and I did pay for the official The Last Shark Rifftrax release. People who download your stuff should at least make a Rifftrax donation once in a while if they're never going to buy anything. If they like the Riff enough to download it for free then they should be willing to donate money on the site.

If everyone were like me (in just this one small way -- gods forbid the world have more of me in it, what a nightmare), presumably RiffTrax would stop cutting 15-20 minutes out of movies.

That being said, if you like what they do and you feel happy paying for it, by all means, do. I'd never suggest that you do otherwise.

For what it's worth, I do still buy riffs that aren't simply excerpts. Ian and Matthew do fine work, and I am happy to support it. And the Mary Jo and Bridget riffs are some of my favorites.

I'm not a fan of the Riff-cuts. I think the most egregious was how much they cut out of the Double Dragon Riff, as that film is full of ripe riffing material.

FWIW I make my "donation" through subscribing to their Twitch channel every month. Doesn't make up for the amount of content I've gained over time, but its something.

Donations are good though, and I suggest if you are able that you (2nd person Plural) do it. We should as a Rule put the donation link with every content uploading. I think thats ethical.

PS - I love Mary Jo and Bridget riffs as well. Exceedingly comfy viewing.
