In this episode of Rodney Stewart Reviews, we take a look at The Fixer Uppers (1935) — a classic Laurel and Hardy short packed with jealousy, greeting cards, and pure slapstick disaster.

Stan and Ollie are door-to-door greeting card salesmen who meet a neglected wife (Mae Busch) desperate to make her artist husband jealous. Ollie gallantly steps in to play the other man… and, as usual, everything goes spectacularly wrong. What starts as a simple favour quickly spirals into one of the boys’ most chaotic domestic mix-ups.

Rodney breaks down the sharp timing, the great supporting cast (including Charles Middleton and Arthur Housman), and why this often-overlooked Hal Roach short still delivers big laughs ninety years on.

Whether you’re a longtime Laurel and Hardy fan or just discovering their shorts, The Fixer Uppers is a gem worth revisiting.

Tune in and let’s fix things up with Stan and Ollie.

In this episode of Rodney Stewart Reviews, we dig into Les Carottiers (1931/32) — the rare French-language Laurel and Hardy film that most fans have never seen.

Shot simultaneously with the English short Be Big!, Les Carottiers (“The Chiselers”) finds Stan and Ollie trying (and spectacularly failing) to sneak out for a night of fun while their wives keep a suspicious eye on them. The gags are classic, the chaos is pure Laurel & Hardy, and the French dialogue adds a whole new flavour to the familiar mayhem.

Rodney breaks down the differences between the English and French versions, the physical comedy that still lands perfectly nearly a century later, and why this obscure little gem deserves a place in every true fan’s collection.

Whether you’re a lifelong Laurel and Hardy devotee or just discovering the boys, this one’s a treat.

Tune in, and let’s get stuck into Les Carottiers.
