Mike, Kevin, and Bill gang up on Harrison Ford's first foray into the world of professor/archaeologist/professional-smirker Indiana Jones in this RiffTrax commentary on Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Purchase the accompanying RiffNotes for this RiffTrax release, and you'll reach a whole new level of appreciation for the riffing crew at RiffTrax; in these notes, you'll discover the full background behind riffs such as:
- “Either those are huge spiders, or we’re both William Burroughs.”
- “What is that, Zeno’s door? It’s been half-way closed five times!”
- “He started dating Tyrone Power.”
- “This scene was taken from the Anne Sexton action comic series.”
- “I am used to warm, skunky beer, and undercooked sausage, depressed cabaret music, and tedious plays by Bertolt Brecht.”
- “The We’re Not So Different, You and Me speech is copyright Ben Gazzara. It may not be used or reproduced without the express written consent of Ben Gazzara.”
... and more!

Purchase cost is $1.49 for 23 pages of notes, side-by-side comparison pictures, web links for further reading, and more. Each RiffNote is marked with a time-code stamp corresponding to the RiffTrax audio file, for easy look-up and reference searching. The PDF file is just about 900KB in size, and will be emailed to you upon notification of purchase (I know, I know, automated shopping carts are all the rage right now - we'll see how this little experiment goes before we get all tech-crazy, though).

Of course, if you haven't already purchased the hilarious RiffTrax commentary on Raiders of the Lost Ark, you need to honor-kill yourself first, then come back to life (use voodoo if you must), then purchase the commentary twice in order to make amends. No, seriously - buy the RiffTrax commentary. And then buy the RiffNotes. In that order.
