The double feature looks to be "Baron Munchausen" (1948)?

Someone looking a lot like Baron Munchausen from that whole movie, black and white movie, sorry I'd have to go look it up

Lee Merriweather will return as Catwoman in "Batman vs. the Riddler" starring Frank Gorshin

ANOTHER movie that ends with the cutesy question mark teasing a sequel. This one in green against a purplish blue background, kind of the Riddler's color scheme. "4d Man" (1959) starring Catwoman (not that Catwoman)

still from "4d man" (1959) where the major dude goes on a crime spree, starting with pulling mail out of the side of a mailbox using movie magic phase shifting technology. The quote in the toot is from "Dazed and Confused" (I think, maybe Slackers but pretty sure it's D&C)

1959 was a pretty good year for soundtracks. Anatomy of a Murder had Duke Ellington And this had Ralph Carmichael who did a big portion of the arranging for Nat King Cole as well as the background score for favorite "The Blob"*

*Not the main theme from The Blob which was provided by Burt Bacharach.

jumping in just in the nick of time, for some movie jazz and cel based pubic hairs- no wait, we're getting subliminal stuff going on here, might this actually be a hip, if not good film?

edit: narration followed by a mid century EE releasing the magic blue smoke, so no, not hip. The soundtrack is pretty hip though.

Was that the trailer? Does this mean that the Goth older-sister shobijin's baby dragon mount survive the first movie? I thought it was toasted in the first one, if not then that's good news. Poor guy didn't deserve that.

I'm not kidding if they'd made this pilot about Lurch as a long-haired 23rd Century Hodor fighting crime from horseback it would we wouldn't have needed 3 pilots it would have been a series and it would have ran for 30 seasons.

Also the wood-gas cars are actually a thing, imagine a hyperloop full of them however...

I once owned a microbus. Out of the roughly hundreds of thousands of times I had to stop in a field somewhere to clean off the points I don't think I ever plugged a headset into the engine and talked to them. Maybe that's what I was doing wrong this whole time.
