Sorry, but there’s no Gokusen or Out of the Unknown this time.

Tonight’s box of delightfuls are:

18:05 The Story of Star Wars Part 1 (pre-show). Back before Star Wars was released on VHS the Story of Star Wars was released on Vinyl. Grateful fans such as I could listen to a 50 minute audio version of the filum while flicking through a few pages of stills from the movie… Narration was provided by Roscoe Lee Browne. Kids these days do not know they’ve been born!

18:30 Sweet Billy Pilgrim – Future Perfect Tense. So much for California, So long to everything.

18:35 Jason of Star Command Ch.7 and Ch.8. Dragos continues with his space shenanigans, Jason continues being deeply condescending to any space females he meets, and W1k1 continues to steal the show.

18:57 Facing Reality. More help for CABbers from 1950s America.

19:09 Road Racers (1994). All Dude wants to do is smoke tabs, play rock and roll guitar, date Salma Hayek, and drive his car in an inappropriate manner. Robert Rodruguez second feature.

20:38 Genius Party – Baby Blue. Our anime block starts with this short.  Two high-school students skip school for a day. Directed by Shinichirō Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop fame.

20:53 Summer Wars (2009).  Year 11 student Kenji Koiso accompanies Year 12 student Natsuki Shinohara on a visit to her family home for to celebrate her great-gran’s 90th birthday. Trust the internet to choose this time to go all Skynet and scupper everyone’s plans.

22:24 Welcome to the NHK Parts 19, 20 and 21. Sato comes face to face with a hikikomori even more pathetic than himself. Will this experience be the catalyst he needs to get his shit together in time to help complete Yamazaki’s Gal Game for the Winter ComicCon? I wonder.
