I remember seeing the entirety of The Phantom Empire serial (I just called it "Radio Ranch") because it was featured on the public television show Matinee at the Bijou - a weekly feast of old-timey movie goodness. They had serials, cartoons, newsreels of the day, an A-movie and a B-movie. Radio Ranch was a highlight because of its ornately high-concept premise and its ludicrous cliffhangers. What a joy!

My favorite part about serials would have to be the crazy cliffhangers. I enjoy the serials of the 30s and how they just embrace the stories and characters.

New to your channel and really loving it. Someone has already said what I was planning to but it deserves to be said again. Although more familiar with slightly later movies, going this far back is truly fascinating. What is really important is how you also show the cultural impacts of the era as well. This can be technology, filmmaking techniques, and social issues. It gives depth to what is going on and shows a snapshot of what is to come.

@@marswantsmovies what sort of springs to mind is Colombo. When certain social issues were present. Or something like an answering machine or remote control device was key to committing the crime. Something that was so innocuous to us even 30 years ago. But at the time, people wouldn’t have experienced it as part of their daily life.

I am an ardent fan of your intelligent series, Melissa. I have a copy of Bride of Frankenstein, which Mel Brookes mined respectfully yet hilariously for his Young Frankenstein. 😂 It would be good to know more about you and your background, and perhaps to have a glimpse of you, though I respect it if you prefer just to be a narrator. You might perhaps consider a brief appearance during opening remarks of each episode? Best wishes!

Thank you so much. I'm a rather introverted socially awkward girl but I'd love to eventually work up the nerve to livestream so I can talk to people more directly. Or maybe do a quick on-camera video just to say hello. Whenever I bring up Frankenstein while writing video scripts, it's so hard not to quote Young Frankenstein. Eventually, I'll get to the 70s and can talk about Gene Wilder and the gang.

That movie straddles several different genres at the same time. Science Fiction, Horror, Melodrama, Psychological Thriller, Tragic Romance, and a little bit of Comedy from the reporter character. A little bit of French Grand Guignol in an American movie.

So other than the beginning of Flash Gordon on the radio, and Bride of Frankenstein in theaters, 1935 was not a significant year for science fiction. Still though, we got a reference here to one of my childhood favorite sci-fi TV series, "V".
