No, they are alright. I was the one going on about feeling they were subpar, so you already no my opinion. But that was not to say they are not worth watching. I guess riffing good movies is not as funny as the cheap low budget dogs they use to do, but I am not sure you could consider most of the movies they riff "good movies" I mean, were talking about Glitter, Road House, that Brittany Spear's movie whatever it was called, Firewall, Revenge of the Sith. Sure they do a lot of popular films, and some are pretty decent movies, but a lot of them like I just mentioned are horrible movies. Then there are movies with just Mike riffing them by himself, which kind of gives you the sad impression of a guy going to the movies by himself and talking during it to keep himself company. I am not sure how many he did Solo, Preditor was the only one I watched. Riffing definately works better when you have others to work off of. I throughly enjoyed Fellowship of the Rings riff, and that was a riff of a good movie. But I had a hard time staying awake during the Phantom Menace riff and that was of a bad movie. So I am not so sure about the good movie bad movie theory. They riffed a few TV show pilots too, I watched the riff of the Lost Pilot and thought it was one of the funnier riffs I have seen yet.

If you are wondering if they are worth $4 bucks each, I would say with you being a MSTK3 fan and all, you would probably find it worth it. If you have never listened to any, the SWHS is a good place to start, and maybe try Lord of the Rings and the prequel trilogy (they have riffed all three) or some other movie/s you own and enjoy watching. That way if you decide you don't like them, you can just give up.
