When they were introducing that final stripper ("The Skank Train"?) I thought for sure it was going to be Dratch. I even excitedly shouted "RACHEL DRATCH CAMEO!" to my girlfriend, but alas. I looked like a boob.

He's gotta keep driving west, though, or his head will explode.
@avclub-b0dae075785888267fc19871f3e7dab7:disqus You had me at "Jane Austen's Mafia isn't great".
I remember either Total Film or Empire doing a review of some Robert Rodriguez DVD, where one of the extras was "Robert Rodriguez's 10 Minute Film School". The magazine pointed out that his 10 minute film school was really only 7 minutes long, and noted that that kinda tells you everything you need to know about…
Is your mom's name Limewire?
I highly recommend you start listening to the Flop House, @drdarke:disqus. I listen to a lot of bad movie podcasts and it's my clear favorite. Don't start with episode one; I'd say either start from when Elliot comes on as a regular host, or try any of these episodes:

Their attempts at comedy are still a little cringe-inducing, but the movie…
Halloween 11: "discover how the holiday began!"
For real. The posters linked in the article are patently wrong: 7 character posters, supposedly showcasing one psychopath each. But 2 of those characters aren't the titular psychopaths, the ranking is wrong, and almost none of their descriptions match what makes them "psychopaths" in the movie. The 2 non-psychopaths…

I did mention Top Secret!, and I totally agree!
@avclub-aeb78c0bf98207df9ec225ce91513463:disqus I'd say that The Flop House is vastly better. It gets incredibly goofy too, and frequently abandons the film in favor of riffing, but it doesn't just consist of people shrieking "THIS MOVIE IS INSAAANE!!" for 45 minutes.
Sad to see that the once venerable institution of spoof movie naming conventions has gone the way of modern porn titles. Goodbye, Spy Hard and Lost in Penetration. Hello, The Starving Games and This Ain't Avatar: an XXX Parody.
Sounds kinda like the difference between the "How Did This Get Made" and "The Flop House" podcasts.
True, but I still think 50% of my list is built mainly around "multiple parodies of movies". At least all of the ZAZ stuff except for Naked Gun is.
Ah yes, and the last thing they did was contribute their cover of the theme song for The Simpsons' series finale. Such a fitting end to both untarnished runs.
Depending on your definition, I'd say there are plenty of good spoof movies: Airport!, Top Secret!, The Naked Gun trilogy (though these are built less around pure movie spoofs than the others on this list), both Hot Shots! movies…basically most early ZAZ stuff. There's also Walk Hard, the first Austin Powers, The Man…
