I want to apologize for my recent lengthy absences. I’ve been settling into a new job with longer hours and just haven’t had the time or energy to do reviews. I’ll try my best to catch up as soon as I can.

metaldams · **Reply #651 on:** June 16, 2021, 09:17:34 AM

I’ve finally found inspiration for my next review. It may be in the next few weeks, but expect a review for Wheeler and Woolsey’s jaw dropping pre code, SO THIS IS AFRICA. In the meantime, I should be all caught up with commenting on Paul’s reviews tonight.

In case anyone wants to watch it in advance.

No need to apologize, I definitely know how work and life can get in the way. Review stuff whenever you’re ready.

I’ve joined the 21st century and figured out how to get my Xfinity box into my TV. So now any YouTube video Paul posts I can watch on my TV instead of my iPad like I’ve been doing.

I finally picked up those Mill Creek blu rays with the features (great price) and in addition to catching up on the Sterling Holloway review tomorrow and reviewing a horror film, I will also be reviewing something Stooge related - TIME OUT FOR RHYTHM in the next few weeks. It’s been between 15 - 20 years since I’ve seen this on an old VHS copy, so I’m looking forward to watching this again.

metaldams · **Reply #664 on:** July 28, 2021, 04:44:11 PM

So The Whip and the Body will be reviewed this weekend. Time Out For Rhythm shortly after. I plan to catch up on Stooges odds and ends as far as reviews go in addition to horror. I did a YouTube search last night for Myrt and Marge - it’s there! I’ve never seen it before so expect a review of that one as well.

Any horror related titles you guys are interested in, let me know.

Just the usual request from me, specifically one I just watched recently, The Revenge of Frankenstein.

Love that film and I want to do a Hammer film. Will do it.

Review of the Christopher Lee and Mario Bava film, THE WHIP AND THE BODY, now up. TIME OUT FOR RHYTHM coming soon.

Review for TIME OUT FOR RHYTHM is now up. A YouTube video of both the whole film and just the Stooges scenes included, so watch any way you prefer. My next review will be in a few weeks.

Just checking in to let you all know that I have been in the process of moving with my family to a new place (not willingly, mind you, but that's another story) and that I hope to have the latest review posted today or tomorrow.

Moves are a bitch, especially unwanted. Hope you settle in soon.

And a quick jump to the next review as well. We end the Sterling Holloway series with FLAT FEAT: https://moronika.com/forums/index.php?topic=6899

How many more Columbia series do you have left?

How many more Columbia series do you have left?

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.
