Take your time. After reviewing films for ten years, I’ve been taking a break too. I will be diving back in soon, the old comedy bug is slowly coming back. I should hopefully come back fresher.
I have all the Wheeler and Woolsey films, so I’ll pitch in when I’m up to it.

I’ve been reading about Wheeler and Woolsey, and they were the 2nd biggest moneymaker comedy team during the early 1930s, behind only Laurel and Hardy and ahead of the Marx Brothers (though the Marx Brothers films were higher budget, which may have played a role in that).

It's going to take a lot to convince me that there aren't snitches monitoring this forum. The account that posted all of those fantastic Columbia shorts already got terminated, and with it terminated today's review of A NAG IN THE BAG.

That sucks. It is very possible someone at Sony is looking at this board and noticing Columbia shorts getting posted.
Silent comedy shorts are actually a safer bet. As of now, everything up to and including 1927 is public domain and starting January 1, 1928 will also be public domain. The public domain expires each year going a year ahead so the early thirties should be easier in a few years time.

I'm going to be aiming for a Wheeler and Woolsey film per month to review, and of course at some point I have to watch Zenobia, as I've never seen it before.
