Watch it before its riffed.

No Thanks.
I think it's nice that the RiffTrax guys apparently have a good relationship with Nguyen to the point that they're trying to get him a little extra money for his straight up movies, but there is no way I'm watching one of his movies unriffed.
Having said that, I do like his (riffed) movies quite a bit.  They are a perfect level of earnest cheesiness.

I've personally never understood the appeal of watching just about ANY film riffed by Rifftrax in its unriffed version, the exceptions being obvious (Casablanca etc). Guess you have to be a MUCH bigger movie fan than I am, or something. "Your movies are bad and you should feel bad!"

There are lots of us who are bad movie fans.  I owned Ed Wood's films on VHS years before MST3K was a thing. Michael Weldon's Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film was always at my TV and movie-watching side while growing up.  I saw Birdemic and The Room without RiffTrax before I saw them with.  There were/are entire film festivals and gatherings centered around bad movies, and loads of streaming sites.  Bad movies are fun.

It's out! Too bad I'm so poor right now or I'd buy it to share with you guys.

Agreed.  Bad movies are great.  I own tons of them and am always looking for more that are fun to watch because they are so terrible.  Of course, they're only fun to watch if the filmmaker is actually trying, anyone trying to make a bad movie invariably fails, but terrible giant monster movies and bad 50s sci-fi are some of the best things out there, riffed or not.

I think cheesy mediocre movies are fun to watch. Bad movies are just bad. I hate Manos even riffed. James Nguyen films are teetering on the edge. He is earnestly trying to make engaging movies. But, his production levels are just SO bad.

It's not his production quality, it's everything.  It's his writing ability.  It's his dialog.  It's crappy actors.  It's bad effects.  It's a complete lack of any ability to edit.  It's just bad.  It isn't that he never went to film school, it's like he's never even seen a decent movie in his life so he has no clue what they're supposed to be like.  He's like a blind man trying to paint the Mona Lisa, he just has no frame of reference whatsoever.
