Are there any updates on the Shemp front?

None. They keep say they're coming, but need extensive work.

From the Archive a few days ago:

"The documentary is called THE LOST STOOGES, and indeed it's an excellent work, most certainly on our radar. The MGM Stooges shorts themselves need to be remastered (BADLY) and we're hoping to do just that. The goal is to release them at the same time we release the new remastered SHEMP shorts."

WB doesn't do any remastering for their Archive releases. Could this mean that they're thinking of a legit release for them?

The remastering thing isn't true anymore. They do it for some titles now.

Keyword now, then. I remember when the Archive started and there was a big fuss over how WB was overcharging for made on demand discs and the titles weren't even remastered.

Warner Archive update:

"The REMASTERED Shemp project is ongoing. Now that the weather is (hopefully) cooling down, we can move the needed nitrate sources to 'fill in the blanks' for the shorts that had yet to be protected onto safety film....and get that set ready for release. We also hope to remaster the MGM Stooges shorts."
