For the Clean and Neat short. It is my favorite of the two shorts. I'm not really a big fan of either ot the experiments' movies. They are ok, but their shorts are better.

Eager to see this one. Didn't know until I looked this one up that it was directed by Ed Wood. Love the Bride Of The Monster episode.

You make it so hard! But Ed Wood trumps just about anything. Just about. Not going to tell you what trumps Ed Wood. Yet.

The weird mob lady, mostly. But boy, both of these movies are so depressing. You feel bad for both the characters and the film workers.

This is a tough call, but I think this is the best of the Ed Wood episodes (thanks to its bizarre take on the "smut picture" racket). That being said, I think "Johnny at the Fair" a funnier short.

Who is Merritt Stone?!?!?
ReplyJohnny at the Fair is one of my favorite shorts with some of the most hilariously dark riffs: “Johnny feels dark hands pressing him onward. The voices in his head start to get meaner.”
ReplyI voted for this one for the kicks
ReplyThis is my all time favorite episode, so I would love to see it on the marathon.
ReplyIt's a classic!

ReplyLove both of them, but just watched The Sinister Urge, which I love! Gotta think of the kicks!
ReplyTough choice but I chose this for the short
ReplyI find myself voting more for the Joel episodes. I don't know why. But I do like the Mike ones.
ReplyThis is great movie. But it also comes with one of my favorite shirts of all time, "Johnny at the fair"😆
ReplySinister will win, it’s Ed Wood. IMO this is the better ep. The short’s funnier, the movie’s watchable and has a plot, the riffs are on point. But hey, Ed Wood and all. I am bugged!
ReplyJohnny at the Fair was quite hilarious.
ReplyOne time after watching this episode, I became curious enough to try looking up Merritt Stone on IMDb. I was barely able to find anything about him O_o
ReplyI haven’t seen either of these episodes, but of the two I would rather see Rebel Set. Sinister Urges sounds like the movie Touch of Satan ripped off and remade.
ReplyBoth episodes are examples of the short tail wagging the movie dog, but I remember the riffing keeping up somewhat during Rebel Set as opposed to Sinister Urge.
ReplyJoe hits Johnny up for fifteen cents due to tax problems.
ReplyJohnny at the Fair rules!
ReplyI am bugged!
