Welcome to another week of The Phantom Empire! Today’s installment is called “Jaws of Jeopardy,” a cool title for what will surely be a profoundly uncool installment. There seems to be a weird phenomenon going on where I’m hot and … Continue reading The Phantom Empire, Part 8: “Jaws of Jeopardy”

March 22, 2021March 22, 2021 owen1120

Welcome one and all to The Phantom Empire, now written on time instead of a few hours late! After last week got me tired of this serial due to its long, pointless wheel-spinning and lack of Pete-Oscar first date scenes, … Continue reading The Phantom Empire, Chapter Six: “Disaster From The Skies”

And so we begin The Phantom Empire! Approximately eight hours late. I originally posted these Monday at 1 PM, but having fully gone off schedule this week, I have decided to commit to a different schedule. In true Gene Autry … Continue reading The Phantom Empire, Part 5- “Beneath the Earth”

The Phantom Empire, Part 1: “The Singing Cowboy”

February 15, 2021February 15, 2021 owen1120

If you haven’t come to Captain Video’s Sunday evening Tutturu screenings, I highly recommend them. We watch a series of educational shorts and early 20th century public domain films, and they’re usually a mix of fun, boring, and fairly educational! … Continue reading The Phantom Empire, Part 1: “The Singing Cowboy”
