A director can turn a script into a visual experience: a zoom out, then a C/U. Much more dramatic!

📺 Watching 'Whodunnit' with Jon Pertwee on the ol' YouTube. I had forgotten how wonderfully weird, wacky and well, 1970s, it was. Co-written by Lance Percival - remember him?

The Infamous Star Wars Holiday Special: A Blast from 1978 - Geeky KOOL
Back in 1978, the excitement for Star Wars was at an all-time high. The original movie had premiered just a year earlier, and it dominated our toys, playtime, and imaginations.

Found in Australian charity shop! Only a really experienced actor could have played Boney - James Laurenson injected real personality into these scenes.

In this episode TERRIFICON Mitch and INDYCAST ED dive into the forgotten 1976 Saturday morning gem Monster Squad that starred Fred Grandy before he set sail on The Love Boat. Was it the successor to the 60's Batman TV show
