This week, we continue with a look at the work of author/screenwriter Ellis St. Joseph, who (among other things) wrote two episodes of the TV show "Batman." There was a tradition of changing over from one villain to another, and St. Joseph wrote the changeover from Catwoman to Sandman. The YouTube video below has some details on that.
I ended last week's audio post (found HERE) by saying that St. Joseph wrote some skilled work but that he also wrote for money. For instance, the screenplay for this unfortunate film with John Wayne as the geisha and Eiko Ando as the barbarian. No, wait, the other way around.
This week I'm focusing on the pop culture things he did. Here's this week's audio post:
Here are a couple take-you-back (or old-TV-was-weird) moments to close out today's post.
The Outer Limits: "The Sizxth Finger"
This show -- "The Rogues" -- I never watched. But I really like Nelson Riddle's theme, "From Rogues to Riches."
