RiffTrax is Mike Nelson’s unofficial spinoff that releases audio tracks that replace the official audio with jokes, so they can riff on anything and not just movies they can get the rights to. Joel did a similar thing with Cinematic Titanic, though he focused on B movies. Both projects have pulled in people from MST3K, Joel’s been part of some of the RiffTrax live events, and they’ve all done reunions and stuff together, so it’s always been kind of the same crowd doing similar things under various banners.
