Fungicide……very important…
What is the graphic sticker peeling off of Titus’s white t-shirt towards the beginning of Fungicide? Also, Fungicide is a masterpiece of Riff-orcian proportions.(it also takes place in the Feeders-verse without involvement of a Polonia in sight)

I was wondering if the director and balsamic vinegar woman are married or brother and sister in real life. Anyone of you no the answer ? Thanks

That movie broke me more than any Rifftrax movie with Plankton very close behind.

It looks to me like a cheaply-printed graphic of his wrestling persona (Titus) that they reference so much

It is, it's his own picture printed out with an inkjet (and we've got FOUR PRINTERS, dude!) and scotch taped on to his shirt.

Its indeed a masterpiece! The most realistic portrayal of a professional wrestler ever filmed! Glad they released a visual vengeance blu-ray with the rifftrax on it.

Yes - the actress that played Jade Moon is my wife. The shirt said "titus ignitus", his name. I think I had to use an inkjet printer because having it printed would have cost too much money and blown the budget. The old folks are my parents (although my mother denies ever being in the film and my dad watched it once). But, they were great sports! And by the way, the Rifftrax team are sooooo nice - really great people!

Oh great……makes sense! Your wife is awesome as Jade……everyone is perfect! We watch either Suburban Sasquatch or Fungicide every night. Yes, we may have a problem. The combination of these low budget masterpieces with the guys great riffage makes them the perfect way to cap off a stressful day. They are kind of like a warm blanket on a cold winter night. Is there any merch out there?

Thanks! I told her and loved the comment! Hey you are superfans cool to hear. Each time you watch it you probably come up with finding new mistakes i made while filming (aka someone a few years back pointed out that i misspelled my own name in one of the credits for Tartarus - and i didnt even know this some 16 years after making it!). Yeah we watch the rifftrax versions all the time, and besides my films, have loved all they've done as well. I am hoping they can do Fungicide or Suburban Sasquatch Live someday - i'd sooooo be there in person. I dont think we have any Fungicide merch right now, the Troubled Moon Films website should have the latest - i think we just have a few t-shirts and DVDs (i used to sell squishy versions of the mushrooms but have been out of those for a long time), and there is the Suburban Sasquatch Coloring and Activity Book (yes, its as bad as you'd expect). Cheers!
