Join Captain Cosmic…

…and his trusty robot 2T2 as they watch the first episode of Flash Gordon.
(Test pilot episode for a potential revival of Bob Wilkins’ “Captain Cosmic” show.)

  1. Is this what you’re unveiling in April?

  2. I like Captain Cosmic and 2T2. I really like the idea of his hosting the serials. We all know about them and have seen them, but never ALL of them in order. I enjoyed the Flash Gordan serial. (I didn’t say it was good, but I did say I enjoyed it.) I think the serial is a bit of an art form itself.

    Thank you,

  3. This has potential. However, the person who plays Captain Cosmic has all the charisma of a calculus lecturer. More enthusiasm, please!

    Also, another suggestion. I like the idea of showing cliffhanger serials. Perhaps show the 1941 Republic classic “Adventures of Captain Marvel”, which would now be considered Shazam. This was the first superhero character portrayed on film and has some fantasic cliffhangers. Also, maybe show “King of the Rocketmen” from 1949 (inspiration for the 1990s film “The Rocketeer” or “Zombies From the Stratusphere” which has Leonard Nimoy as a evil martian!
