Links and things - Volume 3 - Video Store Edition

  • Flying Saucer Video - Looks like I'm not the only cartoonist resuming their webcomic this week! After a long delay, Flying Saucer Video is back. This is currently my favorite webcomic, so I'm thrilled.
  • WGN Presents - "Mitchell" (Complete Broadcast, 10/20/1984) - The Museum of Classic Chicago Television uploaded this unriffed broadcast of Mitchell that aired in 1984. This movie would later go on to be riffed by MST3K for Joel's last episode.
  • Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Airwaves - Speaking of MST3K, here's a history of the Commando Cody shorts that aired on television (and also appeared in theaters!) These are a sequel to the serial Radar Men from the Moon, which was featured on MST3K as a series of shorts. Commando Cody went on to be a huge influence in science fiction; The Rocketeer is an obvious homage but personally I'm fond of Captain Proton.
