Matinee Movie Serials

A great find if you are an aficionado of classic cinema from the 30s 40s and 50s. Many of these classic serials have been shown on television for decades ( often on 80s PBS shows like "Episode Action" , "Six Gun Theater "( original 80s PBS not recent redux) "Sprockets" and "Matinee at the Bijou" but having a hosted show featuring them is somewhat unique, and it has sparked a few copycats other networks & streaming casts . Really a very good idea. The only thing I would ever improve on it would be making the format longer like an hour or maybe even 90 minutes, etc. Would love it if some DVDs were released. Spyke Styletto is a fun , energetic , enthusiastic , beautiful , bubbly , & thoroughly charming host.... I think she could make her way doing other hosted television productions and hopefully will return to do some more of these.

A show created by Joel M. Stephens, a man who loves to see his name attached at least 9 times to every show on the worst streaming channel ever, Spydar TV . The host in very painful presentations introduces chapters of old cliffhanger serials with the talent and enthusiasm of a middle school play performer while wearing a ridiculous outfit and holding toy space guns. The credits roll and of course the Joel is credited for creating, directing, producing, set design, wardrobe, writing, and probably things we don't want to know about. All of Joel's creations are pretty similar. Show something in the public domain that introduced by one of his stable of young females (some scantily clad) reading with the skill of someone who has never read the content before and was probably waiting tables earlier in the day. If you like old movies and lots of bad ads and even some dead air then you'll like this show. You'll just have to endure the unnecessary intros.
