Let's Talk Turkey (Rifftrax Shorts)

Rifftrax Year:  2017
Riffers:  Bridget Nelson, Mary Jo Pehl

As if Rifftrax didn't have enough turkeys on the table...

Tired of that lame old Thanksgiving bird?  Well then, Let's Talk Turkey!  This short shows off various mouthwatering dishes that can be made with turkey in addition to traditionally roasted.  Lots of food on display, and for those in Home Ec classes or just wishing to learn a few new recipes in general, prepare to take notes.

"Man, turkey propaganda is boring!"

Of course it's short with a droning narrator, which makes paying attention for the full twenty minutes.  Luckily Bridget and Mary Jo are on our side to keep us awake.  They actually feel a bit more low key than their usual giggly selves, and sometimes their riffs are slight, but amusing. In some portions the duo play eager students trying to keep track of all the tips, and get frustrated with the short, which is always worth a laugh.

This is a solid short, though not quite a home run for the all-star team of Bridget and Mary Jo.  I laughed, though not as often as I do in some of their other shorts.  Still this one comes easily recommended.
