Fun With Shorts: Arranging the Tea Table

Volume 12, Episode 7. Entertaining and practical are two words that cannot be used to describe this film. 

Fun With Shorts: Thanksgiving Dinner Pt. 2

Posting the exciting conclusion of our Thanksgiving riff a little early. 

For those who celebrate, have a great holiday! 

Riff Script: The Great Commandment

Here's a freebie just for patrons. See my long, messy script for the latest Fun With Flicks title, The Great Commandment. 

Fun With Shorts: Thanksgiving Dinner Pt. 1

Here's part one of a special* holiday riff!

*specialness not gauranteed, results may vary

Fun With Shorts: Gags and Gals

I bet all of us could use a few chuckles this week, so here's a supremely silly trio of (messed up) musical shorts. I hope it brightens your day! 

Volume 12, Episode 4.

[NOTE: The YouTube version of the video was flagged for a music claim, so I uploaded it to Vimeo. There is also a link to watch it on Facebook in the comments.]

Fun With Shorts: How You See It

Volume 12, Episode 3. Another Jam Handy "classic."

Fun With Shorts: Halloween Safety

An unusually recent (1984) holiday safety short from Coronet. A sentient pumpkin pretty much drains all the fun out of Halloween. Enjoy?

Fun With Flicks: The Great Commandment [3 of 3]

Here's your final installment of The Great Commandment. I'm happy with how this one turned out, and I hope you enjoy it, but I'm very much looking forward to getting back to the shorts! Stay tuned! 

Fun With Shorts: The Great Commandment [2 of 3]

Here's your second installment! Hope you're enjoying this one. It's been very intense but very fun. The subject matter is a delight to me, and I've given this script more rewriting and polish than any of my previous Fun With Flicks titles. 

Part 3 will be out next week, then we'll get back to the shorts!

Fun With Flicks: The Great Commandment [1 of 3]

Here it is! The first of three installments of our new Fun With Flicks movie riff! Patrons will get to see the whole thing before anyone else. Part 2 will be out next week.

This is a well-meaning but cheesy low-budget Bible movie featuring a lot of WASPy ancient Judaeans. 

PATRON-EXCLUSIVE: What Makes Us Tick? [First Draft]

As a "thanks" to my awesome patrons, here's an exclusive peek into my editorial process. Here is a full, early version of the latest short, before a number of revisions were made. Nearly half of the riffs in this first draft were changed in the final version. I hope I made good decisions!

Fun With Shorts: What Makes Us Tick?

Kicking off Volume 12 with another John Sutherland animated love letter to capitalism! 

I've got a fun bonus video to share with you in relation to this short, and next week's video is something very special. Stay tuned.

Fun With Shorts: White Magic

Volume 11, Episode 9. Science is magic!

Fun With Shorts: Using the Dial Telephone

Here is Volume 11, Episode 8. This is my first attempt at riffing a silent movie (I think?). I'm not sure what to think of the result. I think it went OK. 

Patreon-Exclusive: Consuming Women!

Here's a new, free, patrons-only riff. Thanks so much for your continued support!

Fun With Shorts: Act Your Age

Volume 11, Episode 7I made this for you guys! Hope you enjoy it. 

Fun With Shorts: Stop Driving Us Crazy

Here's yet another science fiction traffic safety film made by Methodists. I'm getting so sick of these! 

Fun With Shorts Patreon Update

Hello, patrons! Josh here with a quick update on all things Fun With Shorts. I'll be posting another new short this week, a strange little traffic safety cartoon made by (who else?) Methodists. I'm also cooking up a couple of new patron-only riffs for your eyes only! 

Now the less-great news. At one point, we were on track to have two Fun Wi...

Fun With Shorts: Television Remote Control

Last week's short was kinda rough, so I offer this light palate cleanser. 

Fun With Shorts: Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?

Oh, you folks are in for a treat. And by "treat" I really mean a protracted circus of despair and alienation. This one is quite unlike anything I've ever riffed before. Enjoy...?

Fun With Shorts: Automotive Service

Here's Volume 11, Episode 3! 

Fun With Shorts: The Princess and the Pauper

Here's Volume 11, Episode 2! Another insane Jam Handy/Chevy collabo. Enjoy!(?)

Fun With Shorts: City Water Supply

Doesn't the title just arrest you with wonder and expectation?? No? Sorry! Enjoy the first episode of Fun With Shorts Volume 11!

And while I've got you here, I'll let you know that the script for The Great Commandment (our next movie riff) is coming together. About halfway done!

Fun With Shorts: The Relaxed Wife

With this short, volume 10 is complete! DVD forthcoming. This one's a doozy - a long and surreal commercial for sleepy pills. Enjoy the protagonist's hideous mugging!

Fun With Shorts: Making Books

Confession: I found this film legitimately interesting, if a little boring. Still enjoyed riffing it! Volume 10 Episode 8. 

Fun With Shorts: Meet King Joe

Another Sutherland/Harding patriotic cartoon! I am so sorry!

Fun With Shorts: Preventing the Spread of Disease

A new short just in time for the weekend! Volume 10 Episode 6. 

Fun With Shorts: Build Your Vocabulary

I had fun with this one! Enjoy a new Coronet short.

Here's volume 10, episode 4! Hygiene! A cat! Skin fungus! Enjoy.
