Pattern for Smartness
This 1948 short film shows us that there's nothing more satisfying in life than impressing your dull boyfriend and shaming strangers who wear clothing different than your own. And how? By making your own duds with fabric patterns!
The period tone, disjointed narration and marginal acting in this short make it ideal for Bridget and Mary Jo's commentary. It embodies the tone of the industrial/educational shorts that worked so well on MST3K, and the many that have been featured on RiffTrax.

Mary Jo and Bridget should do this- as a matter of course, they should do all the lady related shorts- they're funny and bring a new perspective to the riffs as well! PLEEZE PLEEZE PLEEZE girlfriends- riff this!!!!
