This week we look back at our 1939 episode and see if it needs any mistakes rectified or omissions told.
In this episode:
The audio quality took a little hit while recording this show. We managed to fix the problem so future shows will sound much better. Always fighting the robots...
We made some mistakes. We hold ourselves accountable for those mistakes! Even if we have to make fun of each other for making those mistakes.
We talk about the legendary baseball player Lou Gehrig, his number was retired when he did in 1939. We couldn't remember which number it was, but we found it.
We also talk about Carlos's obsession with Crashing Thru, the Canadian adventure movie featuring bad guys, femme fatales, and one of the best opening theme song in cinematic history!
The main story this episode was about the state of movie theaters and how to get people to go to movies again. Will streaming dominate the medium? We talk a bit about that.
This intermissions' outro music, the theme song from Crashing Thru written by Betty Laidlaw and Robert Lively, performed by actor James Newill, who starred as Renfrew the Canadian Mountie.
All this and more, inside a compact thirty minutes!
Thank you for listening and watch more movies!
