ok, so I was feeling super nostalgic after watching this in theaters, so I searched this out on Youtube:



My father actually enjoyed this so much, he payed $400 for a Super 8MM print of the entire 12 chapter run in the late 70's, which I watched numerous times with him as a kid. For as hoaky as it seems, I'd say the production budget was actually better than similar serials released later such as Columbia's Batman in 1943 & Superman in 1948

^ Thanks for the link. I was just thinking how far technology has come. From something that could originally only be seen in a theater once a generation, then to fade into obscurity so only the greatest of enthusiasts could see it. Now it can be enjoyed *basically* by almost anyone for little to no cost.

I still remember my ear drums hurting though, when my dad would blast the sound from that mono speaker in his Super 8 projector....

I just saw 'Shazam' this Sunday. It's good to see the real Captain Marvel in a movie. The villain almost defeated our hero, but when our hero finally accept his family, the tide has turn against the bad guy. I can't wait to see the sequel.
