Fun With Shorts! Morris's Invisible Bag

Happy holidays, patrons! Here's the first of two seasonal shorts I've been cooking up. 

Fun With Shorts! Fun That Builds Good Health

Extra cringey is what you get, when you watch Coronet!

Fun With Shorts! Manhunt of Mystery Island: Episode 6 - Ocean Tomb

TWO IN A ROW! Happy Monday. :) 

Fun With Shorts! Manhunt of Mystery Island Episode 5 - Mephisto's Mantrap

Movie Facts: This episode of Manhunt of Mystery Island was the inspiration for the movie Sideways.

Fun With Shorts! Let's Talk Turkey

Gobble gobble, you guys. 

Fun With Shorts! It Came From Below

The Lone Ranger is BACK, and he's actually in this one!

Fun With Shorts! How to Judge Authorities

Coronet's back, baby!

Fun With Shorts! The Haunted Mouth

Open up and say BOOO!

Fun With Shorts! Manhunt of Mystery Island Episode 4 - The Lethal Chamber

Oops! I truly thought I had posted this for you all last night, but I see that I did not. Well here it is. Please don't spoil the shocking(ly non-lethal) ending for your friends and family!

Speaking of which, we seem to have slipped just below the threshold of the serial riff pledge milestone. You are all giving so generously to this proj...

Fun With Shorts! Senses of Man Part 2

The exciting* conclusion!

*not exciting

Fun With Shorts! Christopher Columbus

Many citations needed. 

Fun With Shorts! Manhunt of Mystery Island Episode 3: The Murder Machine

How won't our heroes be killed this week??

Fun With Shorts! What Is Cloth?

If you were hoping this film might answer the question "what is cloth?", you might want to manage your expectations. 

Fun With Shorts! From Blossom to Fruit Part 1

This week's video doesn't have a thumbnail yet, but given the week we're having here going back to school, it's a miracle this episode exists at all. Enjoy some sexy flower footage! (Viewer discretion is advised)

Fun With Shorts! The Hospital

This week's film is a heart-pounding thriller about two ER surgeons having an illicit affair inside a major metropolitan hospital. Just kidding, it's a crappy 70s short for kids about how the hospital is a big place with friendly doctors. 

Fun With Shorts! Senses of Man Part 1

Did you know that our senses are amazing and complex and our bodies are filled with sensitive zones and doodads that make them all work? It's true, and there are about five thousand movies about it. This is an additional one! 

Manhunt of Mystery Island: Episode 2 - Satan's Web

Here's the second installment of Manhant of Mystery Island, and boy is this ever a Republic serial from the 40s! This episode has everything: car chases, dangling damsels, a warehouse full of boxes of air... Better buckle up! 

In general my schedule for these episodes is monthly, given the time and resources available to me to produce...

Fun With Shorts! Curse of the Devil Dolls

Another Lone Ranger cartoon sans the Lone Ranger. Tonto sure did work a lot of solo shifts.

Tune in next week for episode 2 of Manhunt of Mystery Island, exclusively on Patreon! Hooray!

Fun With Shorts! Hailstones and Halibut Bones

Far out, man.

Fun With Shorts! Round Robin

Stuff your knickers into your glove box, this week's short is distressingly English, innit? 

Manhunt of Mystery Island: Episode 1 - The Secret Weapon

It's here! It's here! 

Here's the first installment of Manhunt of Mystery Island, all 15 episodes of which will be exclusive to Patreon.  

Thanks for your support, I hope you enjoy this very dumb adventure as much as I did watching 12-second clips of it over and over and over again (help me)!

Fun With Shorts! Self-Conscious Guy

Coronet's back, baby! And Marty's here to tell us how he licked stage fright by... moving spotlights around...? Or something? 

And next week, at long last, it's the Patreon-exclusive premiere of Manhunt of Mystery Island Episode 1! It's been a while since I riffed a non-educational narrative movie, but it's all coming back to me. This...

Fun With Shorts! The Wonder of Our Body

It's another journey into science courtesy of... The Moody Institute?  Yes, Uncle Bob is back and the kids are bored-er than ever! 

Fun With Shorts! New Friends + Serial Announcement

Here's your episode preview for the week, another warped animated library short. These aren't really that bad and they definitely remind me of childhood when I regularly watched films like these projected onto the wall of the library or the classroom. The prints are in rotten shape, though.

Fun With Shorts! The Pharmacist

Happy Monday, have a couple dozen drug store jokes. It's a new Fun With shorts! 

Hey, while we're chatting: Patreon wants me to remind you that in July they will begin to charge sales tax for some(?) states and regions. I'm not 100% sure how that will affect pledges, but be aware of a possible change next month. 

Also I'll ...

We've Reached Our Second Pledge Goal!

A couple of years ago we reached our first major pledge goal which locked in weekly new episodes of Fun With Shorts and monthly exclusives. Thanks to some very generous new pledges and increases, we've reached our second goal! Here's the description of this goal from my main Patreon page: 

"I'll riff a serial or series of shorts selec...

Fun With Shorts! How The Ear Functions

It's like a drum, you see. 

Fun With Shorts! The Frog People

One gets the feeling that the writers on this show pumped out about thirty ideas an hour.

Fun With Shorts! Park Conscious

Here's a well-meaning but dusty old film about state parks and the people who get bug bites in them. For whatever reason I had a lot of fun with this one. Felt like untrod territory.

Oh, and I have a rather interesting proposal to discuss with you all soon. Stay tuned! (Or just relax, I'll come to you.)

Fun With Shorts! The House Fly [PATREON EXCLUSIVE]

Josh here with your June Patreon Exclusive! It's not like I expected this film to be PRO fly, it just made me a little uneasy how ANTI fly it turns out to be...
