Riff Trax: Spiker ( Preview)

Get the full Volleyball riff here: The year was 1983 and volleyball was everywhere Beaches Family reunions Multiplexes (provided you were there on the single day that the awful volleyball movie Spiker probably ran in theaters ) Spiker tells the story of the men whose dream it is to represent the United States in the Olympic volleyball championship. Its a lofty goal that requires sacrificing your career, enduring brutal training, and forsaking personal relationships. These men are, of course, idiots. But its all worth it for the shot to compete on the highest stage in something that dozens of people consider a legitimate sport. Youll meet all the volleyball hopefuls: Sonny, Newt, Catch, and several more who presumably also have terrible names. Youll marvel as Spiker morphs from a dumbass Top Gun ripoff into a hamfisted cold war parable. Youll wonder how on earth one movie can possibly contain this many scenes set in regional salad bar buff
