5.0 out of 5 stars One of Their Best, February 2, 2003

This review is from: Firesign Theatre's Hot Shorts [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Sometimes the Firesign Theatre got sloppy and the laughs were few and far between. But when they're good, they're REAL good. This video has a bunch of short b&w films they dubbed over to highjack the storyline, and some of the results are really kind of twisted. "Sperm-Bank Holdup" and "The Last Handgun on Earth" should give you an idea of what you're in for. Think MST3K.

In the world of the Firesign,this is much like "J-Men Forever!!" With the added attraction of Phil Austin, it only made me wish that David Ossman had contributed his writing superb dribble.Hopefully,this one will be re-released on DVD,along with Martian Space Party. Until then,meet you under the stands at Morse Science!!

How can you top a classic like "High School Madness"? Frankly, you can't, but once the little guys were able to finish the mural at More Science High, if they hadn't fallen straight through a hole to the center of The Earth, perhaps they would have received recognition for Excellence In Hollywood. This is a weird tape, sort of Firesign Meets MST3K. I like it nearly as much as Amazon Women On The Moon, & I'm sure it will keep Grandma & Grandpa occupied for hours, just trying to figure how to get the case open. No one concerned with Shoes For Industry should miss this, except possibly Imelda Marcos. Papoon for President!
