Mortified is a long running art project devoted to “comic excavation of the extraordinary things we created as kids.” This most frequently takes the form of recitations of overwrought childhood diary. In this episode of their web video series The Mortified Shoebox Show, though, something different: a cast is brought in to do a dramatic reading of the script Jason Smith wrote and tried to film at age 15, about a teenager who races his Isuzu pickup in the Indy 500. The lead character, Hobart Drizzle, is played by Elijah Wood.

I can’t quite quantify the number of warm fuzzies this video created in my gastrointestinal tract, but I’ll have it looked at by a doctor.
