Man, that's a tough choice. I'm glad it's the three of them. Nothing against Mike, but the solo riffing just doesn't have the right vibe.

Have to agree, Sardu. The compition to top your friends helps add energy to the riffing. And three minds makes it more likely someone will think of a joke.

There's also the "play-off" factor at work. Riffer A will riff something from the movie, then Riffer B can play off that and extend it with a comment of his own, and so on. You can get whole riffing conversations or mini-skits going that are just impossible when there's only one.

Great. "Hollywood After Dark" struck me as being the best, after watching all the clips.
