Hi folks,

Erik here, comin' at ya once again with some non-Kickstarter content: an Extended Preview for our newest riff, Velvet Smooth! I've just finished posting it to the RiffTrax site, and was described to me as "Death Promise meets Guy From Harlem with a female lead" - and if that doesn't sound amazing, then I'm afraid I can't help you. 

From our writers' synopsis:

Who is Velvet Smooth? A no-nonsense 1970s blaxploitation heroine, or a new yogurt brand full of decadent dessert flavors? It’s the former, baby, so put down your spoons and get groovy!

Velvet Smooth is a detective in Harlem - unlike the detective in The Guy From Harlem, who lives in Miami. Here’s hoping the two of them will meet up in some future Avengers-type supergroup movie, maybe when The Guy returns to Harlem to pick up some of his old stuff from a storage unit.

Enjoy this Extended Preview! Back with more soon.

SPOILER ALERT: The extended preview cuts off before you can hear the entire "Velvet Smooth" theme song, but I was able to find the lyrics... Velvet Smooth You are the one So smooth and soft You’re not like sand Which, as everyone knows, is coarse and irritating (Velvet Smooth! Not like sand!) That’s why this guy I know Would like to meet you He’s a whiny jerk But he has super powers Like telekinesis with a bunch of other stuff thrown in (Velvet Smooth! Help me out!) He choked me with his brain To get me to ask you If you like guys who Occasionally kill lots of younglings He seriously said that; I’m scared for my life (Velvet Smooth! This guy is nuts!) So, Velvet Smooth What I’m trying to say Is please go out with this psycho And kick his a$$ I can pay you for your time, with dry-cleaner receipts (Velvet Smooth! Kick his a$$!)

All that cleaning early on did not extend to the film stock.

Do love me some 70's 'plotation stuff.

Thank goodness you guys don't have a digital remastering lab...

I'm liking what I'm seeing. Like how Velvet's voice, on a tape recorder, over a landline, is somehow noticably better quality than everything else in the movie. I'll have to pick this one up.

The cabinets made with knotty pine and so match the wall paneling.
