AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 6-11-2026

Hello everybody. I'm Skip Almer. Welcome to the AV Geeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 mm films and sometimes a 35mm film and um yeah, so that never had a soundtrack. Um and there wasn't anything to read. It was one of these activities where kids are supposed to recognize numbers. Um, so I run across those occasionally where they're not really something you can read. They there's some sort of activity involved. Um, I've tried to show those live and sometimes the audience gets it and it's a lot of fun and sometimes it is incredibly awkward. So that was somewhere in between. All right, what do we got here? Uh, speaking of awkward pipe cleaners in church, [singing] [music] [music] [singing] >> aren't you going could stand up and sing. But I'm not a man. Oh, in this case, you're a man. Men of God includes both men and women. >> It does. her [music and singing] greatal. [singing and chanting] [music] >> And so, my brethren, we are reminded once again that every man is a son of God and that all mankind is one brotherhood. >> Why does your pastor speak of man and son? Is he not speaking to the women? >> Of course, he is. Women are included in those words. Man includes woman too. And our word son includes daughter as well. >> You have a very strange language. Man includes woman. >> And that brethren is what it means to be a real man of God. >> [singing] [music] >> Wait a minute. Don't tell me >> father includes mother. >> Now you're catching on. [singing and music] [music] >> Oh, I'm not included. All right. Uh, yeah. Um, pipe cleaners and, uh, pronouns and, um, you know, language. It's hard. It's confusing, especially when it's French.

It's, you know, it's like a like I said, it was like a um almost like a sitcom. It has a Thre's Company vibe in my mind, but um in French and uh probably without all the sexual innuendo. Okay. Um, speaking of music and songs, uh, it's been a while, but I think we're due. Um, what we're going to watch next, and some of you will remember this, um, is a 4 show featuring animation, songs, and a mild ripoff of the Monkeys TV show. Uh this is a time when in television uh late 60s early 70s where everybody solved crimes and everybody was in a band. This is the great nutrition turn on mulligan stew. Enjoy. [music] Bet you don't know what fruits have the most vitamin A. >> Oh, which fruit has the most vitamin A, you ask? [laughter] A basic question demanding only the most basic of answers. >> Banana. >> No, you dummy [music] duck. >> Without vitamin A, we would have a difficult time distinguishing the various shades of gray. We might find ourselves unable to see at night at all. Now, most fruits have vitamin A in them and green leafy vegetables have vitamin A. >> But what fruits have the most vitamin A? >> Why anyone knows it's apples? >> Wrong. >> Wrong. >> Wrong.

[music] Now, first we have to look at some of the evidence that I brought along with me. [music] Oops, wrong channel. [laughter] I remember it's on the top secret channel. This is the town of Lazy Susan, USA. It's a typical town in America. Except for one thing, Mulligan Stew. The town is falling apart. The people are too tired to work, too. The [music] mailman too tired to deliver the mail. And the grocery boy too. [music] The cow too tired to give milk. The barber too tired to cut hair. In short, everybody's tired. [music] Kids, moms and dads, old folks. Your job, Mulligan Stew, is to find out what's wrong in the town of Lazy Susan and remedy the situation as soon as you can. We don't want this to turn into a national disaster, do we? >> Of course not, Wilbur. >> Good. Because they're counting on you. >> Upstairs. >> Up there. >> Now, here are your assignment papers. All the documents and evidence we'll need to crack this case in Lazy Susan. >> We You don't mean that you're >> planning to >> help us >> on this assignment? >> Do you, Wilbur?

Um I'm sure that these would show up and so you'd have people that were um watching this uh and ideally kids would watch it because that's who they're trying to target. Supposedly, there was a comic book uh of this series as well that came out. Um but uh I have other films in this series and we will I'll try not to overwhelm you with them. Uh we showed them uh six years ago during the co and so um yeah, anyways, thanks for watching today. I appreciate your eyeballs.
