Reply With QuoteI forgot where I got them (archive.org?) but I have The Shadow episodes with Orson Welles. I was going to listen to them all on the trip down to Comic-Con but ended up listening to other podcasts.
But the episode I did catch did rock.

i like welles shadow, but really love the lives of harry lime, which is a prequel series to the carol reed film the third man. welles of course plays lime in both.
btw, loved alan moore's harry lime cameo in the black dossier
I claim to be film nerd... yet I've never seen The Third ManOriginally Posted by sonnylarue
Just bumped it to the top of Netflix!
Have you ever heard the radio dramatization of It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart? It was on around here last year around Christmastime. It was really cool on the one hand because it's It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart, but it was very bizarre at the same time because you're so used to the lines being delivered in a certain way with certain intonation, and anything different is kind of jarring.
yep.
i also love the lux radio theater, which had movie adaptations, like Gary Cooper in Pride Of The Yankees, etc.
The cool eps of Lux also had interesting alternate casting for the radio versions, like Edward G Robinson as Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon, and Alan Ladd played Rick in Casablanca,
I hear you on Jack Benny. The man had some amazing comic timing. His show had a hell of an ensemble cast too. Didn't Mel Blanc guest on Benny's show quite a bit?
Hit me up on Facebook or Twitter.
Chuck Vs Mal: Two Geeks. One podcast. Many insults.
yep mel was a recurring actor who played many diifferent characters.
i always am confused when some historians point to various early TV shows as the "first sitcom" , when Benny, George Burns, Ozzie nelson, and many others were doing sitcoms on radio 10 years before TV became widely viewed.
I L O V E Old Time Radio! This will be my new favorite thread.
If you have Sirius (or XM) radio you have to dial into 118 they play classic radio shows 24/7.
Just about to get a hold of some old Detective radio mp3s. I do enjoy listening to the stuff, but this one is for research for a story.
