Well folks, all things, including the Weekly Episode Discussions, must come to and end.....we're just not there yet. However, I have come up with an exit strategy. What was always guaranteed is I will do all 190 and the five Columbia Derita features. I was on the fence about the solo shorts, not so sure if they would get enough responses. Well, I have figured something out. Instead of doing twenty three weeks of solo shorts as stand alone weeks, perhaps a few of you remember I used to review Marx Bros. and Laurel and Hardy films, and I'd do two reviews a week. That's how this is going to play out. When things look bleak during the week we do the zombie Shemp short, SCHEMING SCHEMERS, we will start doing Columbia solo shorts to make things more interesting, so back to two shorts a week for the final twenty three weeks. If my counting is correct, this will take us all the way to Christmas weekend, AKA, my 38th birthday.
What happens after the final review, I don't know. If you guys want to see me review some Buster Keaton or somebody else, which I'd love to do, you have about eight months to lobby for it. If the demand is there, I'll continue reviewing other people, but if not, it's been one Hell of a run, and I thank all of you, especially the regulars, for making this one crazy journey. Ah, but we're not done yet, several stock footage, Bessers, features, solo shorts, and even a few Shemp originals to go.
