Beginning Responsibility: Taking Care of Things

Sat, Jan 15, 2022 11 mins

Our new short, Beginning Responsibility: Taking Care Of Things is NOT to be confused with our other short, Beginning Responsibility: Taking Care Of Your Own Things. That one was made in the 70s and was about a little boy named Reggie with an appalling talking pillow. This one was made in the 50s and is about a little boy named Andy with appalling dead tadpoles. Totally different.

Holiday From Rules

Sat, Feb 19, 2022

Holiday from Rules follows four children who exist in abstract space, an empty void, a community theater set without any actual setpieces. These cranky, whiny kids are mad that rules exist, and they make one of the classic RiffTrax short blunders: they wish to live in a world without rules. You fools. You should never make a wish like that. Did you learn nothing from the teachings of Coily??

Wanted: The Perfect Guy

Fri, Jul 8, 2022 30 mins

In their second attempt to riff an old ABC Afterschool Special, Bridget Nelson and Mary Jo Pehl choose "Wanted: The Perfect Guy," a 1986 special starring a young Ben Affleck as 13-year-old Danny Coleman who tries to seek a new boyfriend/future husband for his mother (Madeline Kahn). Will hi-jinks ensue? Will Danny's attempts to find Mr. Right cause problems between him and his best friend? Will two ex-writers and cast members from Mystery Science Theatre 3000 give it the trashing it deserves for some of its 80's cheesiness? Probably.

Join Bridget Jones-Nelson and Mary Jo Pehl as they riff yet another educational short film from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

In Winter with Peter Jennings

Fri, Dec 16, 2022

Bridget and Mary Jo make fun of a 1967 promotional film produced by Bombardier Limited on the hip and happening sport of snowmobiling, hiring Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist - and native Canadian - Peter Jennings away from ABC News to narrate the film. Marvel at how Jennings tries to convince viewers that snowmobiling is the in thing to do. Because despite providing back-breaking, eardrum shattering, and frostbite inducing recreation, it creates opportunities for the kids and the wannabes to hit the old lodge that's now used as a dance club.
