Let's see...
Andy Clyde (11 shorts available)
Hugh Herbert (5 shorts available)
The Glove Slingers (2 more shorts still)
The Mischief Makers (1 short)
Joe Besser (the 4 remakes that weren't reviewed)

I had many more Vera Vague and Polly Moran shorts lined up, but those videos all got pulled and have never been replaced.  As you know from the master list, there are a 50+ shorts that just have no video available online.   There is also a Harry Langdon film that is sometimes considered to be a Columbia short, although it's really a government PSA on the importance of following traffic laws merely produced in co-operation with Columbia Shorts.

If you have any Apple device, I can PM you the master list I have been using to keep track of things.

The four Besser remakes have always been on my to do list.  LOL. Whoever gets to them first.

The Andy Clyde ones are what I’m most looking forward to - especially since the series spanned decades and he has Sennett roots.

Well, you're the third person to say they're looking forward to the Andy Clyde shorts, so I think that's who I will do next!

Have we done International House yet? That’s my favorite ensemble movie.

No but I love that film.  Now that I know there’s interest, I’ll review it soon.

Going to try to get MYRT AND MARGE in this weekend, though my Cult Movie Review is my number one priority, so it might be next weekend.  INTERNATIONAL HOUSE will be my comedy review after.

I would still like to see the last 4 Joe Besser solo shorts reviewed.

Half of them already were.  ;)

Either Paul or I will get to them someday.

Will catch up on reviews, existing ones and making new ones by next weekend.  Been busy lately.

Our next short in the Andy Clyde journey is HEATHER AND YON, which will be very familiar to Buster Keaton fans! https://moronika.com/forums/index.php?topic=6933

Since we are in October, I want to take advantage of the opportunities presented during this month.  As a result, we are diverging to focus on Columbia scare comedies.  Unfortunately, the next Andy Clyde short, SPOOK TO ME, is no longer available and would have been a scare comedy.  Instead, we drop back to 1931 to review his Mack Sennett short, GHOST PARADE.  The next two weeks we will review a couple of the Hugh Herbert & Dudley Dickerson scare comedies before resuming our normal order through Andy and then Hugh's shorts.

We think alike.  I have a short I am going to review in the next few days as well, same October theme.  I’ll let SPOOK TO ME digest for a few days before printing my review.

Sometime this week, it will be the 1925 Stan Laurel solo short, DR. PYCKLE AND MR. PRIDE.  I was going to do the 1931 feature version, and as great a film as that is, I figure this short, both shorter and easily more watchable online, is likely to garner more responses.

I’ll probably throw in INTERNATIONAL HOUSE later this month too.  It has Bela Lugosi in it, so for that alone, qualifies for October.

Is anyone going to review the Ritz Brothers The Gorilla or the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis movie Scared Stiff this month.  Both of them are horror/comedies.

Had troubles with my Xfinity box and got it fixed.  Should be able to watch these shorts on my TV again and will catch up soon.
