Yeah, I was the same way. As I touched on in the video, I'm a big classic movie trailer guy. I think I own something like 25 to 30 trailer compilations on DVD and bluray. So I'd been hearing Cassidy's voice work for years upon years and just had no idea it was him. Thanks, Loren.

Fantastic. That is really good to hear. Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully you dig the others just as much.

I've never thought of the dream-like quality, that's interesting. And there is some debate about the film, but I do feel the sort of flat, stoic nature of it all was fully intentional. Meant to show that society had become stagnant. Thanks, Randall.

An astounding film. And that is quite the scene. Really, the entire ending is just something else. The book is worth checking out as well. Thanks, Peter.

Gotta love the Pepe.

@@AtomicSnackBar agreed.

I thought that clip was really neat too. If you are interested, the whole thing is here on YT. It's a good bit longer with several more voice overs in it.

I haven't seen that one, no. But interestingly, it's a Larry Buchannan film. He's been popping up a lot lately here on the channel.

@@AtomicSnackBar as I knew the man who ran the projector (he was one of the best DM's ever)...I got the reviews on that night's movies..... strangely the ' B ' movie was great( a Native American quest... can't remember the name) but or things MotA his only recommendation was ah. Ah. Enjoy a lot of oregano.....he was right... and I love those type of films

@@Donathon-f6f That's really neat. Kind of the dream of b-movie fans back in the day - to be friends with the guy who runs the projector.

Oh, that's actually just a case where I missed a spot bleaching my hair. I do it myself, so occasionally that happens. Usually only in the back, though.

Hell's Angels on Wheels is another really good one.

I wasn't aware either until just recently.

There's some great stuff on that soundtrack. Charles Band was really good about that back in the day. Luckily, the CD is still readily available.

It's all about the 'stache here at the Snack Bar. Thanks, Guy.

Only the fanciest of shirts when discussing Cord-level mustaches.

Yeah, I think it would have been something really good. There was so much potential for story in that set up.

@ AtomicSnackBar - Yeah. It was a wonderful example of how attitudes about Male/Female relationships have changed. Early on, Dylan Hunt looks back checking out a particularly attractive female member of PAX. Then in the closing line of the movie, he makes an insinuating remark to Harper Smyth that causes her to blush. 🎶bawnt-chicka-bawn,bawn...🎶😆

@ AtomicSnackBar - the Power of the Stache.

I've heard that Gentleman Broncos is a good one and I should check it out. But my cut off for the channel is 1999 at the absolute latest. I usually, though, don't go past 1994. Thanks for watching, Nathan.

@@AtomicSnackBar very underrated film

@@nathansmith-jk7cz And it's a sci-fi film?

@@AtomicSnackBar it's bout a sci Fi author who steals this kids story

I sure do miss late night TV. Sure, you can watch anything at any time now, but it really doesn't have that same charm. Thanks for stopping by.

That's one thing about doing the channel. Often, the stuff I cover is so obscure, there isn't much to highlight in these actor's resumes. But then there are cases like Mr. Cassidy who had done so many great parts, it was tough to narrow down what to talk about. But you're right, the Star Trek role was a very memorable one. Thanks for stopping by the Snack Bar, Steven.

He also did voice work in another Trek episode "The Corbomite Manuever" as well a ton of Hanna Barbara superhero cartoons.❤

Thank you muchly, J-Man. But until you start rocking just a full mustache, I can't fully accept this comment.

And I maintain that Kolchak had one of the best and most effective openings of all time. It really just captures the feel of the show and ends on that strange note of dread. It's like it takes place after the show ends and something finally followed Carl back to the office. Good stuff.

@@AtomicSnackBar Something actually _did_ come to his office looking for him onece when he wasn't there. It was that Spanish moss monster. I remember Kolchak finding moss on his desk and freaking out.. Some of my favorite parts were the bickering contests between him and his boss Tony (Simon Oakland) as well as the police chief (Keenan Wynn). Great actors.

@@Driven2Beers Just a fantastic show across the board. If the footage wasn't so tough to find, I'd quite like to cover it more. I actually have the Spanish moss monster earmarked for a potential Sci-fi Plant Creatures II.

@@AtomicSnackBar I'll be waiting for that! The creature was called Père Malfait (father of mischief) and is a Cajun Boogyman of folklore. As for finding the series, it used to be on Netflix but now it's on Peacock, Amazon Prime and Apple TV.

My pleasure. I do so enjoy when I'm able to do that. I've had many films like that over the years as well. Thanks, Mark.

Nope, not quite. That was just a short lived pen/stage name I really wasn't feeling. Thanks for letting me know that it's still there. I've been going back and cutting those old intros.

@@AtomicSnackBar you know ASB just based on when you post....I get the feeling you sleep about as well as I do... have a great day.. Peace

@@Donathon-f6f Yup. I am not very good at sleeping and rarely keep a regular schedule.

@@AtomicSnackBar I've never slept well... but... neither did my Mom.... well...See You Next Wednesday..I know you post on Friday but I'm kinda in a Landas mood...lol

@@Donathon-f6f Not a bad thing, for sure. The Kentucky Fried Movie is one of my all time favorites.

Sasquatch related? Nope. You got me. Don't know what kind of weirdo would write such a thing.

@ AtomicSnackBar - I saw a report that a SkunkApe was seen in your neighborhood recently. Didn't you go on a day trip just the other day?

@@tonysantiago255 Lies and slander. Pure speculation. I admit nothing.

@ AtomicSnackBar - as usual, irregardless of the multitude of cellphone cameras, nobody got a picture. So it stays in the Rumors, speculations, and Conspiracy theories category.

That she did. And I thought all three Hunts were good. Thanks for watching, Jim.

A Craig is never late. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

Welcome to the Snack Bar, Lee. Home to geezers of all ages. My primary focus has been 50s sci-fi, but I've been making an effort to branch out into more 60s and 70s stuff.

@ jsuperawesome - It's long been rumored that Phil was in talks to do a bit part in the movie, but Peter Gabriel, being the prima'dona that he was, got jealous and threw a hissy fit. Missed opportunities.

He was too busy playing playing video games like Golden Axe and Altered Beast. Because he did what Nintendon't. You know what I mean. Oh yes, you know. Thanks, pal-o-mino. Keep it slashy.

It was a strange, but memorable moment made all the better by its inside joke nature. Thanks, Doug.

The 2 navel clip in this video was Mariette Hartley, not Diana Muldaur.

@ leestamm3187 - Mariette Hartley 4Life. Both of her navels.

That double naval reveal scene is really strange and memorable. In all my years, I can't think of another quite like it. Neat about the Picard easter egg possibility. I watched that one even, but missed it. Modern commercials of all kinds could take some clues from the past, especially movie trailers. The trailers of today just don't hold a candle to those of yesteryear. And you know, you're right. Cassidy as Savage would have been awesome. The way he looked on Lost in Space was pretty close already.

Doc Savage! I haven’t heard that name in years, but I do remember seeing that flick as a young kid. Snappy theme song and green FX snakes!

@@chrisbridges4885 That's one I've seen the trailer in my various trailer adventures, but not the movie itself. I'm more-so familiar with the pulp version thanks to Philip J. Farmer.

@ chrisbridges4885 - The movie starring TV Tarzan Ron Ely was produced by the Great George Pal. It was made after the Batman 66' series and Pal, being a 1940s Family friendly guy, did it in a campy way. Tongue in cheek. I've been meaning to read the books, as Doc Savage is credited as being the prototype for all the superheroics that followed, including Superman. Nobody talks about Buckeroo Banzai ( which I loved), but that character and his companions were a total homage to Doc Savage. I've had 'history of' book on my Amazon Wishlist about the Pulp era of his creation forever. I may just have to pull the trigger on that one after this conversation.

They are super groovy fantastico, wherever they are from. I really liked those.

Looks like a modified version of the one in "Forbidden Planet."

@@leestamm3187 I've been wondering about that, if it was homage or coincidence. I would imagine it was a popular concept in sci-fi books and comics.

@@AtomicSnackBar Difficult to say at this late date. It's so similar to the one in FP that I lean toward homage (or just outright copy).

@@leestamm3187 We can stick with homage. I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt whenever possible with these classic films.

Yes, indeed. Played by Lynne Marta.

Gee, I had forgotten her. I had a boyish crush on her. But that happened a lot back then. I'm going to have to dig this one out for a rewatch.

@@tonysantiago255 Do you have the DVD version or the bluray?

@ AtomicSnackBar - DVD. I bought both of them before the bluray with both were released. I have a 4k TV, which makes everything look better, but I would most likely go for the bluray if I didn't already have them. I'm trying not to rebuy stuff if the quality is decent. You know, there's just TOO MANY great older films to discover and spend on. Seemingly neverending. I rewatched it last night and for me, particularly through a nostalgic lense, it was a solid 4. I was left thinking: "What more did the Studio bosses want? It's pretty d**n good." Whatever. Looking forward to your Planet Earth review, even though you watched it backwards.

Oddly enough, I haven't seen that one. But I did watch parts of the sequel because it had Laura Gemser in it.

@@AtomicSnackBar Laura Gemster????

He was creatively frugal. I can dig it. I've reused an idea, and episode, or two.

You had me at Lovecraft. I shall look into that. Thanks, Jim.

I vaguely remember Airwolf when it was running, but I don't think I ever watched it. Not enough monsters, aliens, or robots probably. Thanks for watching, Paris. Always good to hear from you.

Lancelot Link was reportedly a real ladies-chimp in Hollywood. Dating rumors with many top starlets. But you eat just 12 people's faces and it's all over for you. Really an unforgiving business.

@ AtomicSnackBar - Boy, this thread took a weird turn at the end there. I got nuthin' to add to this. You guys are on your own.

@@AtomicSnackBar So if one were to stop at say, 10 or 11, it would still be acceptable? 🤔 _In theory,_ that is 😬

@@Gappasaurus I'll let you know.

@@tonysantiago255 Probably for the best Tony. 😄 Save yourself, it’s too late for the rest of us 😜 BTW, lookin’ spiffy in your Gatsby (or is that Catsby?) getup at 6:05 😁👍

What I can say? It's all thanks to raw nuts and lots of vegetable soup.

@robertdee648 - Well put, Sir. Sterling should use that in his advertising.

Andromeda was kind of a part of this. Not so much a remake but a Frankenstein's Monster of Roddenberry ideas.

Been having trouble with this comment. First time I went to look at it, most of it just wasn't there. But I really liked Planet Earth as well. I'm planning to cover it also. So I'll save my thoughts till that. Speaking of that Ted Cassidy scene in Butch and Sundance, I almost used that clip for the episode. It's a memorable one. I've heard about The Questor Tapes, but haven't seen it yet. Fortunately, it's on DVD and Bluray. Just remember, though, in space, no one can hear you belly button. And you certainly aren't kidding about cars. They have skyrocketed. I got mine in 2004. It was used, but about 12K if I remember right. I'm not sure you could get a golf cart for that much now.

@@AtomicSnackBar I bought a 2009 Chevy HHR for $15,000.00(bi-weekly payments of $150.00 at every payday, which took five years to pay off). It not only has been useful, it also had character. There are sensors that need to be replaced and, according to the mechanic, a new battery, which is not located near the engine, and suspension system. I hope to take care of all of this someday(I’m looking for work now).

@@garyreid2178 I'm not one that particularly likes change. I probably need a new car, have a bunch of things that need repairing, but I'm just too attached to get rid of it.

@@AtomicSnackBar A vehicle of your own is like Arnie Cunningham’s early relationship with Christine(in the Stephen King novel and the movie). It is your own personal space. You depend on this car. You can blast your stereo while going to and from the job. You can fall asleep without any distractions or worries. The issue I probably have with new cars is the stereo system. These days it’s about “infotainment”, everything online or extracted from a smartphone. I love having my CDs on the stereo and a great oldies radio station on the radio. But, one thing that can’t be ignored is the room in older cars. You can stretch out in some medium to larger sized vehicles. There was a Chevy Blazer Tahoe that I was interested in years ago that was on sale for $7,500.00 and it was located in Texas. Maybe I would buy it if I had the money. After I graduated from high school, I remembered seeing a ‘62 four door Lincoln Continental(suicide doors and all)for sale for $2,500.00. All it needed at the time was some engine work and a paint job. The problem is fuel. My only solution is to get a higher grade of fuel to get carry on over the miles. But it probably wouldn’t work in all vehicles. But I may be wrong because I am not a mechanic.

@ garyreid178 - That is not a car, that's a tank. But yeah, you could sleep a family of 5 in the backseat of those cars. Gas was so cheap in the 60s, fuel mileage wasn't even a thought. The 70s gas shortages changed that forever.

I've had the DVD for both films for years now. But so many movies, so little time, I just had not gotten around to them. After the Post Apocalypse video earlier this month, and the recommendations, I finally watched them. Enjoyed both quite a bit. They've gotten me on this little 70s TV kick at the moment.

@ chrisbridges4885 - He gets all his fashion tips from me, as witnessed by my dapper picture at the end of this video.

@@tonysantiago255definitely looking dapper in the bow tie, dude

@ chrisbridges4885 - I thank you, good sir. I've always considered myself something of A Bo Brummel Cat about Town. That reminds me... 🎶Top Cat! He's the leader of the Gang!🎶. More classic Hanna Barbera. Good stuff.

@@tonysantiago255 I, of course, wanted to your internet debut to show you looking your dapperist.

I know how much you like double belly buttoned mutants.

There is a very good reason for that. John Saxon was the star of the sequel "Planet Earth." He even played the same character. I actually saw Planet Earth first, not realizing the two were connected.

@ AtomicSnackBar - Now you've got me curious to check out all the incarnations of Dylan Hunt. Perhaps Roddenberry hoped he would be a character that transcended the actor playing him. A symbol of the virtues he wanted to express through him. James Bond and Sherlock Holmes had very definable character traits. Iconic, you might say. Perhaps that was how he saw Dylan Hunt. Or maybe it was just a cool name. We all know how tricky those can be.

@@tonysantiago255 There could be some truth in that. I do, though, think the third Dylan Hunt played by Kevin Sorbo came about after Roddenberry's passing. I'm not sure if he ever had plans to revisit the character again after Planet Earth.

Agree about Forbidden Planet shuttle tube.

@ leestamm3187 - there's an old performer's adage that says: " If it's good - steal it. "

Certainly. And thanks for watching, Marianna.

The No Bellybutton Corporation. Cheers to Warren who is always a hit at the Snack Bar.

@@AtomicSnackBar-- Oh, I miss a lot --what you might call, "Naval Grazing!" Ta-Da! Warren!

I mostly knew Cassidy from Lost in Space when I was a lad. And of course, Lurch. It wasn't until I did a retrospective on "The Stranger and the Gunfighter" that folks pointed out his voice over. After looking into it, I've come to realize I've heard his voice so many times over the years. It's completely changed how I see him.

Haven't seen Genesis I yet? Slacker. Stop watching so many movies and go watch some movies. Thinking about it, Percy may have been the only person involved in every Jaws movie. But you would know better than I.

You said I sat on it, remember? That's why you unfriended me.

@ AtomicSnackBar - 😆😆😆😎

@ AtomicSnackBar - Funny thing about that photo. I have one of my paternal Grandfather from the 1930s and he's wearing that very hat. True story.
