JERRY LEWIS-- ATTACKED BY MONSTERS...
...AS NOTED in the Podcast. Guest Stars Puzzling Evidence and Michael Peppe enlivened the proceedings after a solo first hour for Dr. H. Owll, who was until then playing Loop! Station and Shake Well, with interpolated recitations from Dylan Thomas. But with Puz-Ev came the trope of Movie Night, and it was that curious Independent film of yore THE FLESH EATERS which dominated, though sans sound. WE were the only soundtrack. RED PLANET MARS never got off the ground; perhaps insufficient respect for the career of the late Morris Ankrum from Mr. Peppe had something to do with that. Much was hashed over. This was six hours. But the present re-run is only three. The first three. Is the anecdotal justification for this Episode's title left in there anywhere? Well, once FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, a most influential publication on future history, had that on its cover. Inside, the letdown was that editor Forrest "Forry" (or "4E") Ackerman, to validate the cover lingo, just printed a few pages of a monster rally from JERRY LEWIS comics. The real Jerry, in actuality, was undisturbed by this non-event. Yes, in the misty past we read both BOB HOPE comics and JERRY LEWIS comics-- and pronounced them good. In them, Jerry (and Bob) were often with the monsters. As are we.
