The bitch of the thing is that I already had Rambo IV in my personal collection, and just watching the first ~10 minutes to sync up the Commentary made me discover that it didn't have the right subtitles. Christ, I think I even have it on Bluray somewhere, but I don't have a Bluray drive on my PC that I could rip the subtitles from.
Sounds very aggravating and I wish you luck. To echo Rifferee, I certainly appreciate you taking on this task. Just finished watching the Nightmare on Elm Street remake you posted (first time listening to the WHM commentary, laughed my ass off) and it was a great sync! Also, I love that you've been tacking on the intros after the commentaries, just like a RiffTrax sync.. Kudos to you, LG!
Same experience for me: first time checking them out, great sync, laughed more than most alt-riffs I've heard. It made my night after a frustrating day in the mental saltmines. Really appreciate everything you contribute on here!

Just to clarify, I've been listening to the WHM podcast for years, but have only listened to a few of their commentary tracks because I suck at syncing and playing the mp3's and movies side by side is too much of a hassle. LaGrrande's excellent syncs are going to be the first time I'll be hearing a lot of these, and I can't wait since I too have been having some frustrating days in the mental (and physical) salt mines.
Rifferee, if you haven't heard any episodes of their podcast, I can't recommend it enough. They are some genuinely funny guys who happen to know quite a bit about movies. I think their back catalogue is only available to Patreon members, but a great starting point would be their episode on Abraxas, which I'm sure you've seen the RiffTrax of. If you're interested, here's the link: We Hate Movies: Abraxas

Rambo is on the backburner right now until a few more of these torrents finish, but it looks like I might have to hack together a subtitle track manually. On the upside, I managed to score a theatrical copy of Taken 2. I'm in the middle of exporting the audio as we speak, unfortunately, the video file is like 13gb, so it'll take a few days to re-encode to a smaller x265 file before I can upload. Which itself won't even start until the encode of Avatar I'm working on is done in 24-36 hours. I've also got a hold of a copy of C.H.U.D. with a much better quality FLAC soundtrack that sounds less like the audio was recorded on a smartphone inside of a mason jar at the bottom of an aquarium, so I'll be working on a v2 redo of that sync, too.
In the meantime, I'll take a poll on which of these three movies that I have the files for already should be the next sync (Barring any unforseen shenanigans):
Twilight
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
Star Wars: RotS
Just loaded CHUD into Audacity. No wonder the surround sound track for CHUD sounded like straight ass, it was only released in a mono soundtrack, and whever made that encode must have tried to (Or the default settings of Handbrake) turned it into a 5.1 track with a less than breathtaking bitrate on a movie with a not so impressive soundtrack to start with.

Alright, Twilight with two half-votes loses out to RotS with two full and two half-votes! RotS should be up in a few hours.
