MAD About Rube!
I was flattered to be involved in this terrific documentary about the amazing Rube Goldberg, which was created by his filmmaker grandson Geoffrey George. It’s a short film but really shows you how incredibly multi-talented and diverse Rube was. He did so much more than the crazy machines he’s best known for. The documentary features my pals Al Jaffee, Ed Steckley, Charlie Kochman, and Robin Schwartzman among others, and it’s free to view for a limited time as part of a “Twin Cities Virtual Jewish Film Festival”. Just visit this link and click the “Unlock for Free” button. You will need to register but it’s no cost.
There is also a companion exhibit on Rube at the Minnesota Jewish Community center, which features an interactive Rube Goldberg machine created and installed by Robin. I also loaned my Reuben Award statuette to the show.

Spectacular! Love this so much. I’m going to share this to all my Science teacher friends. Also after the documentary there is a Zoom Interview with Tom Lieberman and Geoffrey George talking about the documentary. When I was done watching the documentary and interview I went out to my mailbox and Volume 4 Sketch of the week book was waiting for me. Thanks for making my Saturday a little more enjoyable.
Nice! 😀
