RiffTrax Shorts

Sex! intrigue! Canada! Hungarian political refugees living in Canada directing films about young Canadian women who find themselves preggers in the summer of 1964! This must-see short has it all! Let the capable riffing of Bridget and Mary Jo lovingly guide you through all 28 minutes of this teen pregnancy hormone fueled event.

The short features the construction of the titular Litter Monster, a hulking abomination that begs passersby to shove their litter into its gaping mouth. It's like a robotic homeless Cookie Monster with severely lowered dietary standards, and we really wish there was one on every street corner in our town. Join Mike, Kevin, Bill, and thousands of pounds of delicious litter!

Spheres, cylinders, pyramids, the whole shape-y gang is here, reunited at last. Ready for their close-ups, repeated close-ups, over and over, so many close-ups of shapes you'll be begging the narrator for something, ANYTHING that isn't a shape as you descend fully into conical madness. Don't be a square, join Mike, Kevin, and Bill, the Riffers We Live With, for Shapes We Live With!

The honeymoon is over for newlyweds Dotty and Pete. Now they face the reality of married life, which, according to "Marriage is A Partnership", is a slow moving train headed right for you. The film comes with the seal of approval of educational collaborator Lemo Rockwood, Ph.D and professor of Family Relationships. Dotty even says the word sex in the film - twice! (In her head, but STILL!)

Kids learn valuable lessons about politeness such as "Don't comment that it looks like a badger could carve the turkey better than father." Order up a cornucopia of repressed fifties urges, set up your insanely large candlesticks (Seriously, those things could easily take out Professor Plum), and join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Dining Together!

The short focuses on a family that, despite living in a large, well-furnished house, cannot afford a turkey for Thanksgiving. The family patriarch makes everyone list all the things they're thankful for, to take their minds off his failure as a provider. And it's a sweet list: family, shelter, security... and freedom from shadowy "political gangsters dragging people off to jail."
