Commentary Tracks
Posted on March 16th, 2008 by admin
Neal’s comments about my post on Max Allan Collins’ disappointing commentary on The Phantom DVD got me thinking. Why don’t serials have great commentary tracks like other genre films do. Look at the Universal Horror Legacy Collections, they have commentary tracks from respected writers like Tom Weaver and David J. Skal, who obviously love these films. Why then can’t serials get commentary tracks by Raymond Stedman, Leonard Kohl, or Michael Price; writers who write about and actually enjoy serials. Or how about getting some of the actors from the productions to provide commentary, I’m sure Tim Tyler’s Luck would have been even better if Frankie Thomas had done a commentary track instead of a brief interview for the DVD.
