Ep 1. Summer Is An Adventure

Summer is upon us, and with it comes the promise of adventure! But what kind of adventure awaits us in this first episode of RiffTrax Shorts season 11? Join hosts Mike, Kevin, and Bill as they take a hilarious journey through a series of short films that explore the many different ways to have fun in the sun.

In "Safety: Harm Hides At Home," we learn that even the most mundane household items can be a danger to our health and well-being. From loose cords to slippery floors, everything in our homes can turn against us at a moment's notice. But fear not, for the safety experts are here to guide us through the perils of modern living. With their helpful tips and tricks, we can all stay safe and secure in our own homes. Or, you know, just wear a helmet all the time.

Next up is "Sticky Fingers," a cautionary tale about the dangers of theft. We follow a young boy as he learns about the consequences of taking what doesn't belong to him. But will the lesson stick? Or will he continue down a path of crime and depravity? Spoiler alert: he probably won't. But that doesn't stop Mike, Kevin, and Bill from poking fun at his misadventures.

For those of us who prefer a more active approach to summer fun, "Let's Talk Turkey" offers some helpful advice on how to hunt and prepare your own Thanksgiving dinner. That's right, we're skipping ahead a few months to celebrate everyone's favorite turkey-themed holiday. With expert guidance from a seasoned hunter, we'll learn how to track and capture our own wild turkeys. And if you're really lucky, you might even get some tips on how to deep-fry it to perfection.

The fourth short, "Wheels, Wheels, Wheels," takes us on a wild ride through the world of transportation. From bicycles and cars to trains and planes, we'll explore the many ways we get from point A to point B. But watch out for those crazy drivers and reckless riders, or you might end up in a pile of twisted metal and broken dreams. Unless, of course, you're driving a tank. Then you're pretty much invincible.

Last but not least, "At Your Fingertips: Grasses" offers a soothing look at the world of lawn care. Marvel as the experts demonstrate the proper way to mow, edge, and water your lawn. And if you're feeling really daring, you can even try your hand at a little landscape design. Just be sure to wear gloves, unless you want your fingers to get all grassy.

So there you have it, folks. Five short films, five hilarious riffs, and countless laughs. Whether you're spending your summer indoors or out, there's something for everyone in this episode of RiffTrax Shorts. So grab a cold drink, kick back, and let the good times roll!
