My $4 thrift store DVD copy of The Room actually made it watchable
Everyone hates The Room for being a trainwreck, but I found that watching it with the Rifftrax commentary track from 2012 turns it into a total comedy goldmine. The trick is to sync the audio on your phone with the DVD player, and you gotta pause both at the same time or it falls apart. The Mark and Lisa scenes especially hit different when the guys are riffing, and it made me appreciate how weirdly structured the whole 108 minute thing is. Has anyone else tried pairing a so-bad-it's-good movie with an MST3K style track, or do you prefer the raw version?

Ngl, did the riffing actually make the pacing bearable, or was it just the jokes carrying the whole thing?
