Interesting facts

Flicks, also known as Loose Joints, is a 1981 anthology comedy film consisting of a series of comedic segments themed after Saturday afternoon matinées.

Production

The idea for the film originated with Peter Winograd who took the concept to Saturday Night Live writers David Hurwitz and Larry Arnstein, and The Groove Tube Lane Sarasohn with whom Winograd routinely played basketball.

Following troubled preview screenings, United Film Distributors recut the film without input from Winograd and re-titled it Loose Joints. The animated segment Cat and Mouse at (the) Home was animated by Mark Kausler and directed by Kirk Henderson. The four and a half minute long short took six months to produce, and was made by San Francisco based animation studio Colossal Pictures.
