Before MST3K there was … The Texas 27 Film Vault!
Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of this neglected cult show from the mid-1980s.
EPISODE ORIGINALLY BROADCAST: Saturday April 19th, 1986 from 10:30pm to 1:00am.
EXTRAS: This episode featured footage of our Film Vault Technicians First Class Randy and Richard’s promotional appearance at Six Flags Mall in nearby Arlington, TX.
HOST SEGMENTS: One particular Host Segment featured one of the show’s behind-the- scenes people portraying Commando Cody complete with helmet and rocket pack. He was portraying the character because the Commando Cody serial Radar Men from the Moon was the current serial being shown before the movie each week on The Texas 27 Film Vault.
Since Randy Clower still outranked his co-host Richard Malmos (at least until a few episodes later) in the fictional Film Vault Corps (“The few, the proud, the sarcastic”) their relationship often featured the type of abusive “Host and Second Banana” dynamic like that between Dr Morgus and his lab assistant Chopsley or Zacherle and his wife My Dear or Dr Forester and TV’s Frank.

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** Nonie Darwish, a woman braver than any shallow American celebrities.
Nonie Darwish is a former Muslim of Egyptian descent and has authored several books critical of Islam’s refusal to join the modern world. Naturally she has faced the usual death-threats and attacks inflicted on other former Muslims or Muslims who seek reform of their faith. Nonie’s courage is in stark contrast to the usual American Liberal cowardice – most recently Wingate University’s cancellation of her scheduled speaking appearance.
As Balladeer’s Blog often points out, the political robots of American Liberalism try their best to impose a blackout on heroic activists like Nonie Darwish and so many other women. That’s because the Democratic Party panders ONLY to Muslims who hate the Western World and who want to live in the past.
Wingate used one of the favorite methods of silencing women (especially Muslim women) who criticize Islam’s misogyny, homophobia and overall intolerance: they claimed there were “security concerns” because of students who complained about the title of Darwish’s talk – Why Terrorists Hate America and the West. Wow. How upsetting that title must have been for the delicate little darlings.
This is another example of why so many of us who will NEVER be Conservatives have still grown to despise American Liberals. The Democratic Party welcomes terrorist-linked CAIR representatives to the White House but critics of Muslim intolerance can get no hearing.

The documentary premiers tomorrow, April 7th!
FIRST – SUZENNE (sic) SERADWYN
Why did you want to make this flm?
SS: When our producer approached me about signing on to the project, it was an immediate
yes.
I arrived to the island not long before the
lava began fowing, and quickly learned that
Puna is unlike any place I’ve ever been.
People here have diferent values because of the
natural elements at play, and the rich cultural
history surrounding those elements. Continue reading

Here at Balladeer’s Blog I enjoy treating conspiracy theories as a form of modern-day mythology. Just like mythology and religious beliefs conspiracy theories are irrational explanations for occurrences or situations that have much more rational explanations. Here’s one of my all-time favorite neglected conspiracy kook bits.
THE DEAD CAN BE RESURRECTED ON PLANET JUPITER – The enigmatic Toynbee Tiles are the major source for the enjoyable canon behind this notion. At some point in the 1980s odd tiles laid into the asphalt of actual streets and roadways were being found, bearing some variation on the following message: “TOYNBEE IDEA/ IN MOVIE 2001/ RESURRECT DEAD/ ON PLANET JUPITER.” Continue reading

Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the grand and exciting Hawaiian epic about the goddesses Pele and Hi’iaka.
PART NINE
By nightfall Hi’iaka had secured passage for herself and the mortal woman Wahine in a craft bound for the island of Maui. That vessel set off the next morning. In some versions the boatman and his son refuse to take the ladies so Hi’iaka punishes them by using her powers to make their craft sink. After swimming to shore the two men were more than happy to take the ladies in their other ship. Continue reading

UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA PANDAS
Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Division: NAIA
Conference Affiliation: Canada West Universities Athletic Association
Comment: Many people don’t realize some Canadian schools play various college sports in America’s lower divisions. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like pandas unless they were traumatized by the long national nightmare we had trying to get the National Zoo’s panda bears to mate. Continue reading
