Tim and Jen host Rifftrax writer Sean Thomason to watch the unwatchable: an ancient kiddie flick filled with air and B-roll, Fun in Balloon Land. Jen also pitches her idea for a new, horrible subgenre, named after the director of the similarly horrible Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny: Mahoncore!

The Rifftrax version of Fun in Balloon Land goes down much easier than the unadorned version, plus you’ll be helping pay Sean’s salary. You can also bug Sean over at Bluesky— tell him the chuckleheads at Have You Seen This? sent you!

Get yourself a copy of the Krazee Kidz Video Party blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome— they’re flying off the shelves!

Jen and Tim brave the harsh California desert in search of a truly obscure female-focused vampire chiller, The Velvet Vampire!

Watch The Velvet Vampire on Shudder, and accept no substitutes! This is the best version of the film currently available, as the most recent blu-ray release is extremely difficult to find.

No joke, if you know where we can get a copy of this exact Shout Factory edition of The Velvet Vampire blu-ray for a reasonable (or at most mildly unreasonable) price, please let us know.
