RiffTrax Shorts Season 13 Episode 7 Telephone for Help

In season 13 episode 7 of RiffTrax Shorts, the crew focuses on a short film entitled "Telephone for Help." The film begins by depicting a man stuck in a precarious situation, the kind that many of us may be able to relate to. He's in the midst of an important repair job on his car when suddenly his wrench goes missing. In desperation, he reaches for his phone to call for help.

However, as soon as he dials the number, his phone goes dead. He then quickly discovers that all the phones in his vicinity have the same issue - no signal. This sets off a series of ridiculous attempts to get help, including sending notes in bottles and attempting smoke signals. The humor comes not only from the man's misadventures but also from the film's dated technology and cringey attempts at humor.

As always, the RiffTrax crew adds their own brand of witty commentary to the short, making fun of the absurdity of the situation and poking fun at the outdated technology. Their commentary is both clever and amusing, drawing on pop culture references and their own unique comedic sensibilities to create a lighthearted atmosphere.

Throughout the episode, the team also takes the opportunity to riff on other classic shorts, including "Shake Hands with Danger," a film that cautions viewers against the dangers of industrial equipment and "The Toymaker," a bizarre film that tells the story of a toymaker who brings his toys to life with a magical potion.

The RiffTrax crew is comprised of Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett, all of whom are well-known for their work on "Mystery Science Theater 3000." Their dry humor and deadpan delivery make them a perfect fit for critiquing these cheesy old films, and their banter and chemistry on screen make for a fun and entertaining watch.

Overall, RiffTrax Shorts season 13 episode 7 is a hilarious and entertaining commentary on a somewhat ludicrous short film. With witty commentary and a healthy dose of irreverence, the RiffTrax crew brings their unique brand of humor to an otherwise outdated and cheesy film. Fans of the series will undoubtedly enjoy this latest episode, and newcomers to the show will find it a great introduction to the crew's comedic style.
