Sounds Like Gremlins on Acid - Week of 11/4/20

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the 1940 film The Mark of Zorro. This is a classic swashbuckler based on a (mostly) original American story with some interesting backstory. We discuss early action films, a little bit of Hollywood history, a little bit of the development of the sword itself, some compare and contrast with another great film, and a bunch of stuff in between. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.

 

Announcements:

We found a way to do our monthly meetups - on Discord! Come hang out with us in the voice channel on the 4th Saturday of the month; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website
