Viewing Notes

Hoopla allows the entire disc - in this case, disc 1 of the collection - as a borrow rather than the individual short films on the disc. Unlike Kanopy which inexplicably charges a borrow for each film on the disc.

This one gets 7/10 for the shooting gallery / dog gag and the trick house.
