The Summer Shorts feature is hosted by Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy. This time around, however, they're joined by MST3K alumns Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff, Mary Jo Pehl, and Bridget Nelson (Mike's wife), along with comedian Paul F. Tompkins. The guests riff on the shorts with or instead of the three regulars, and everyone joins together to take on the evening's final short feature.
As for the shorts, they prove as terrible -- and therefore ripe for being the subject of jokes -- as the feature films. There's a safety film involving a magic owl that looks like a furry with a beard. There's a sexist black and white feature on women in the office. There's the "exercise" of rhythmic ball movement. And it all wraps up with two burlap sacks coming to life and being chased by their owner.
