Set 'em Up is an interesting short that dives deeper into the world of bowling, featuring Pete Smith who brings a familiar charm. The pacing feels relaxed, almost like a casual afternoon at the lanes. You get a good mix of practical effects, particularly with Varipapa's trick shots that stand out for their creativity. Ned Day’s demonstrations of technique feel almost instructional, yet they're laced with personality, making it more engaging. It's a neat slice of 1930s Americana, capturing the culture of the time while showcasing a sport that, frankly, doesn’t get enough cinematic love. The tone is light, clearly crafted for an audience that appreciates the nuances of bowling and the skill involved.
