Love the bits about about the villain chastising his henchmen for being unable to handle one teenage boy and the deadpan “The FBI never jokes” line.
Sorry to disrupt your enjoyment of Conan, but this is a very momentous day for Serial Experience. We are ten years old today! Yes hard to believe it was August 1998 that I reviewed my first serial, New Adventures of Tarzan on Frame By Frame, this site’s original name. Except for a brief hiatus due to a broken scanner back when I had pictures I could put up on the site (unfortunately I’ve run out) , Serial Experience has just kept going. I never thought I would still be doing this ten years later. Like most fans sites, I thought I would do it for a few years, get bored, or not have time to keep it up, and it would just fade away. But somehow I just kept doing it. And I have to admit that there were times I wanted to quit and not have to deal with it, yet I just couldn’t, even when I was literally sick of serials and was watching old episodes of MST3K, I still found myself popping in a tape and taking notes come the last week of the month. If that’s not love I don’t know what is. Here’s to the next ten years!
After about what, a year, I’ve finally come up with another Greatest Serial Never Made. Lazy? Procrastinator? Those words don’t even come close to describing my work ethic, or lack there of. I know everyone out there has been anxiously waiting for a new one with feigned indifference and I’m not one to disappoint. What was that? Okay, I don’t need any snarky comments from the living room, thank you very much, Dear. Where was I? Oh yeah, so starting next Saturday I’ll be doing a new serial that was never done but could have and should have been. Why Saturday? Two reasons, one, serials were always shown on Saturdays, and two, my schedule at work has been changed and I now have Saturdays off instead of Sundays. No details now, except to say it will be a Republic style serial of a popular pulp character form the thirties. Have fun guessing and I’ll see you this Saturday.
