Movie Matinees, Disc Transcription, Sea Hunt, and LSMFT

A handful of candy, fake a sneeze, and spray the front row of the local theatre with red hots...this the typical scene during the Saturday matinees that Mike recalls, along with those cliff-hanging serials such as Zorro and Flash Gordon, repurposed as fillers in 1950s-1960s U.S. cinemas. Smitty offers insight on transcription disks, those pre-vinyl recording media that were the grandparents of today's CDs, DVDs, and memory card archive systems. Ian Rose remembers Sea Hunt, and Lloyd Bridges as deep water TV private eye Mike Nelson. Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site is the nostalgia show produced in San Diego by three "older" baby-boomers who work in the local radio and TV industry. In these approximately one-half hour shows, The Galaxy Guys chat it up about the music, movies, TV shows, technology and personalities of the 1940s through early 1980s. We invite nostalgia buffs in every baby-boomer interest or genre to join us by e-mailing photos, ideas, and memories of bygone times, when a 50 cent lawn mowing allowance would get you in to the movies on a Saturday afternoon, with money left over for a tube of Flicks, a pack of Charms, and maybe even a small cup of Mr. Pibb.
