ChrisJM981 924 Posted May 23, 2021 The movie was good. despite Alec Baldwin starring in it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1LtCAP 4,259 Posted May 24, 2021 i actually enjoyed that movie. they did it pretty well, and i've often wondered why it didn't get sequels. thing is the shadow's been around since the 30's, and the original batman was based on the shadow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRIZ 3,365 Posted May 24, 2021 I remember "watching the radio" for The Shadow back in the 50s. Also listened to The Lone Ranger. The art of the radio play is gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EdF 323 Posted May 25, 2021 When I was in high school and college, 1210 used to play them one night a week (yes. . . I'm old . . . ) I loved listening! Because of this, I think that I'm one of the very few people who likes the Alec Baldwin film version . . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes.... used to be on AM radio.... my father had them on a lot, for some reason, even as a fairly young kid, I found them to be pretty cool. The story telling aspect of it was different than anything on the radio. And the fact that they were either thrillers or horror stories added a bit of coolness to them. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted June 1, 2021 As I said. the art of the radio play is dead. Back in the early 70s, a girlfriend of mine loved how I said like Alred Hitchcock, "we'll be back in a moment" Only contribution I made to radio plays 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fact that a given show would air regularly on a given night and time and people would work their day or evening around the broadcast slot somehow added to it. I know that was also a thing for sitcoms or some other tv broadcast, but that fact that it was radio somehow made it different. Probably had something to do with it becoming a dying art form when I was able to listen. Some degree of appreciation for it was a thing back then.
