Have YOU been saved? It's a good chance that, regardless of your behavior, you are doomed to be left behind. This 1941 film is designed to warn believers and non-believers alike of the perils of the impending return of YOU KNOW YOU -- which, apparently, was due to occur sometime in the early 1950s.

No offense is intended toward any...

After the horror that was the majority of the original series of Star Trek, it is almost dumbfounding that they were ever able to make another series with the same name without being laughed out of the industry.  Fortunately they were given another shot, and out of this came arguably the best series of Trek to date.

For 9 long years, CBS insisted on airing Touched by an Angel, week after week. Our grandmothers delighted in the weekly triumph of a strange Scottish angel in the face of heartbreak & hardship...without noticing the bad acting, awful writing, or even Della Reese. I mean, Della Reese...she was right there, in her loud shirts and...

It’s 1932 and America is in the midst of the Great Depression. If ever there was a good time for a laugh, this was it. Fortunately, our U.S. government seized the moment and delivered the educational short, “Communism.”  Starring Lenin, Stalin and Marx (remember, Moe, Larry and Curly hadn’t hit Hollywood yet) these...

Halloween is a time of mischief and fun when you cosplay as a Hammer Monster or the latest breakfast cereal mascot and gorge yourself on enough sugar to power a nuclear sub. Or at least it used to.

This PSA was created in the late 70's in response to all the fears parents had that their children had the balancing abilities of Peter O'...

Journey with us back to 1987. It was a time when Star Trek fans were filled with hope as The Next Generation was about to air and the resurrection was at hand. Then we all stared in horror as season one unfolded. Here is one of the worst examples of the early years of TNG: THE LAST OUTPOST.

See the intro of the Ferengi. This was...

A homemaker in the 1950s often found herself tortured by the pressures of the era.  Would her children be seduced by the temptations of motorcycle gangs and that awful Rock 'n Roll music?  Were there really communists deep under cover in the PTA?  And worst of all...would a snarky voiceover steal an entire room of the house as an...

Once every century (so far, and only counting the last century and the current one, but definitely every century since film was invented) there comes a movie about an older Asian man teaching a young American kid the ancient secrets of karate so that he won't get his ass kicked on a daily basis. There are probably sequels involved, as well...

Good vibes.  Great times.  Crazy, drunken cops.  When you find a town that’s got it all, you stay there.  Also, you buy a Chevy.  And why not?  They’re the boxiest cars around. 

O’Mara’s Chain Miracle tells the story of one such town, one such cop and one such type of boxy car....
