Fakin' It (Part Three:Film Serials)

Hey kids! It’s time for another short instructive guide towards pretending you know all about movies. This time on Fakin’ It, we’re going to look at the lost are of Film Serials.

What is it?
A series of short films, with chapters shown usually once a week in theaters. Normally they would be shown on a Saturday, and regularly they were for children’s entertainment. In the beginning though, they were considered good fare for adults as well. They only devolved into kid stuff after the initial craze died down and sound films became prevalent. The extra price of sound production meant that only the cheapest things could be serials and for the most part, kids are the most willing to put up with crappy cheap productions.

Movie Review: Omaha (the movie)


1
The quality of this disc was pretty bad. As a result the caps aren’t that great. Free disc, no complaints, just explanations.


Omaha (The Movie) (1994 Dan Mirvish)
You haven't heard of this movie? It's LOCAL! (There's the hipster joke out of the way.)
