This morning I was chatting with a friend of mine about some of the great old movie serials I'd seen over the years. On a whim I decided to google for "Movie Serials" and found The Serial Squadron. It's a site dedicated to old serials, including having DVDs available of some classic ones I remember. I'm really thinking about picking up a copy of The Phantom Empire. How can you go wrong with Gene Autry?
Some of the shows they're working on just so so wonderfully wrong, like MALA: Secret Agent of the South Seas.
Yes, it's the serial that everyone's talking about. It's the one and only Mala, the spy with the floral loincloth, and his pals Rex, King of the Wild Horses, and Buck the big fat St. Bernard, to the rescue as evil saboteurs crack codes and plot to blow up dirigibles and set fire to ships and stuff on remote Clipper Island in the South Seas. Will super-spy Mala's good looks convince the beautiful island princess to save him from being sacrificed in the fire pit? Who is that guy with the amazingly bad cockney accent and what is he doing in this serial?
Oh yeah, and be sure to check out Ask Ming in the Games section.
