RiffTrax Shorts Season 4 Episode 8 4-08

RiffTrax Shorts season 4 episode 8, titled 4-08, brings another hilarious collection of short films to be riffed on by the RiffTrax team.

The episode features six different short films, each with their own unique quirks and charms. The first short, "Harm Hides at Home," is a cautionary tale about the dangers of using too much bleach. The RiffTrax team pokes fun at the stilted dialogue and over-the-top acting, making jokes about the absurdity of the situation and the characters' reactions to it.

Next up is "Youth in the Making," a vintage educational film about the importance of exercise and physical activity for young people. The RiffTrax team gets a lot of mileage out of the outdated fashion and the exaggerated stereotypes of different types of athletes.

The third short, "The Good Health Show," features a host of different segments about health and wellness. The RiffTrax team has a field day with the bizarre and often contradictory advice dispensed in the film, riffing on everything from the importance of chewing your food properly to the danger of improper grooming habits.

In "Reading Growth," the fourth short, a group of children learn about the importance of reading and literacy. The RiffTrax team makes fun of the cheesy music and the overly earnest tone of the film, as well as poking fun at the absurdity of some of the kids' reading selections (including a book about the noble art of grocery bagging).

The fifth short, "Beginning Responsibility: Lunchroom Manners," is a classic educational film about how to behave in the school cafeteria. The RiffTrax team has a lot of fun with the stiff and formal language, as well as the bizarre situations the characters find themselves in (such as a boy who accidentally spills his milk while trying to take off his coat).

Finally, the episode wraps up with "Parade of Aquatic Champions," a short film about a synchronized swimming team. The RiffTrax team pokes fun at the strange and often hilarious choreography, as well as the overly dramatic music and commentary.

Throughout the episode, the RiffTrax team brings their trademark wit and humor to each short and takes every opportunity to make fun of the oddities and quirks of each film. Viewers can expect plenty of sharp one-liners, pop culture references, and inside jokes, making this episode a must-watch for fans of the RiffTrax style.
