Hey folks! As some of you heard at last night's Scener event, this morning I've pushed the "Publish" button on our much-anticipated Just the Jokes riff of GYMKATA!

Back in the glorious era before Hollywood discovered irony known as "The '80s", some coked-up lunatics decided that what action movies were missing were world class gymnasts. The result was "Rambo on a pommel horse" and its name is Gymkata.

The country of Parmistan is known for two things: its annual life-or-death obstacle course, and not actually existing. The U.S. Government has determined that it is an ideal location for a new communications satellite, and wisely decides not to focus on that insanely boring plot point for very long. To achieve their goal, they recruit gymnast Kurt Thomas, who manages to simultaneously pull off genuinely impressive feats of strength and agility while being a total dweeb. He’s assisted by a mute-when-it’s-convenient Princess and her father, the cruel despot leader of Parmistan who has more of a "guy putting on a free puppet show at the library" vibe. 

This riff is free to our 2020 backers who pledged at the $75 level or higher. For everyone else it's a measly $3.99 and works with our automatic syncing app. Although I should mention that the first 3 1/2 minutes contain no dialogue, so you'll want to sync using the app's built-in media controls first. Don't worry; it's easy! Just follow Kevin's instructions. 

You can download this extended preview here.

Yours in Gymkata,

Erik

Bravo for the obscure but extremely funny Hercules riff..."Disappointed!"

Andrew Horn

Fun fact: the Hercules "DISAPPOINTED" running gag was ripped off from Kevin Kline in A FISH CALLED WANDA.

There going to be a Talkin RiffTrax for this one?

Coronet: Because your teacher forgot to record Bill Nye.

Kevin: Ooh! I hope this is Coronet’s How to file your 1982 taxes film! ... Mike: 1982? Kevin: Yeah, I just have some, uh, catching up to do...
