Volume 2 of 'Hey Folks Its Intermission time!' Once again sees the return of all those lovely drive in and theater intermission cards filled with wacky hijynx and comedy shenanigans aplenty! However, this one does feel a little rushed compared to the previous installment and did have a few pacing issues in my opinion.
For a starters, they've seemingly decided to 'Theme' this set, as the first half seems to focus almost entirely on seasonal intermission slides (with heavy emphasis on Christmas and new years)
It's enjoyable enough, but repetition does begin to creep in a bit which isn't helped either by two moments in the presentation where the tape seems to end, cutting instead to the blocking 'in' markers that 'Something weird Video' would have used to mass dub their tapes. That jarred and did pull me out of things a bit.
Equally around halfway through this volume they basically abandon the 'seasonal' theming and just go back to showing intermission commercials. A lot of which are repeated from volume 1, but with slight colour, V/O or visual tweaks.
If your coming to this volume right off the back of the first, you may be a little dissapointed as it is definitely a change of pace from the first (and not strictly for the better)
That being said, there is still a whole lot to love about this release, and if your just randomly grabbing it off the shelf (particularly around the holiday season) I'm sure you'll have a really good time with this! I just wish the presentation had been a little neater.
