Pod Stallions 112: Movie Serials
Before the MCU and Multiverses, before the Snyderverse, before the summers that the Shadow and the Phantom RULED the cineplexes (didn’t they?), it was a world when the superhero and pulp characters reigned supreme in Saturday morning serials. The precursor of the modern action movie, their impact can be felt to this day , and since we keep our fingers on the pulse, we thought it was high time we showed them some love. So grab yer popcorn and Buck Rogers Disintegrator Pistols as we thread the projector and eat a bowl of healthy serial(s).

Great podcast. 😀
I’m kind of fascinated by superheroes having their own movie serials, + their own, [1930s-1950s…and after?], radio shows. Online, They are a great way to get superheroes stories for free. 😀
(While I think of it: I think there are some superheroes stories, on vinyl, audio records- from the 1980s, + before.)
