Fun With Shorts! New Friends + Serial Announcement
Added 2020-07-06 17:00:45 +0000 UTCHere'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.
I'm also happy to announce that our first Fun With Shorts Serial Event will feature Manhunt of Mystery Island (1945). After reviewing the candidates this one had the most potential in terms of content and watchability/riffability, though I haven't counted the others out for future events. The first episode will debut later this month, and will remain a Patreon exclusive until the entire series is released on DVD!
Unfortunately we lost a few pledges recently, which technically puts us back down beneath the serial milestone goal. I'm going to move ahead anyway and run some promotions on social media to invite new pledges to join us for the series. If you're inclined to share some Fun With Shorts with your online pals and invite them to check us out I would be very grateful.

I can't believe that you missed the reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when Howard the Duck was in the sewer 🤦♀️

2020-07-08 03:36:05 +0000 UTCHi, Josh, Thanks for finding this one. I've also seen the other "Howard, the Duck," and I agree with you: this one is better. It's a lot of fun, instead of mascot costumes. Looking forward to the serial. I'll talk to a few friends about becoming your patrons, but I have no sales ability. Twice, I tried and failed to get close friends to chip in even $1 each for the March of Dimes Walkathon.
