    Worth mentioning that RiffTrax has a large catalog of riffed shorts (and a few lousy films) that don't require that.

    E.g., two of my favorites: "Shake Hands with Danger" and "More Dangerous than Dynamite".

    And the ones dubbed by Bridget and Mary Jo are great! Before them, the only narrator group I really liked was Mike+Kevin+Bill.
