I'll have to check that out. Is it on Netflix?

Dark and Stormy Night. A comedy made in 2009. It's a send-up of the old b&w "old dark house" movies. Pretty funny, 7/10.

It might be. It was a three part series from Thames TV about 10 or 12 years ago. I have a tape of it from Turner Classic Movies.

What! You mean no one knows about 8-track tapes and 78 RPM records and Beta video tapes? What is this younger generation coming to anyway!!

I always liked them, I think they had better sound quality than cassettes. Or even better, bring back reel-to-reel tapes.
