Flatscreen Last Night: Radio Days


Happy, pleasant, and warm, "Woody Allen". I love those tunes!


Radio Days was released in early 1987, just when I was in my final couple of months of film school. Yeah, I missed it. My viewing was on tape-delay: about ten years later I watched the flick on VHS tape and enjoyed it. While I was born into the mass-television age, I do appreciate "radio", and I don't mean DJ stuff... not that I dislike DJs and their company.

During my recent DVD/BD archiving I realized that I had a certain DVD in the archive.

Last night while undergoing that forty-five minute "what should I watch?", and rolling into the expected "I can't make up my mind" after sifting through Prime Video and Tubi listings, and getting nowhere with anything resembling a commitment, I remembered that disc. (The excellent Kanopy streaming service got forgotten, for some reason.)

"It's still in the bleedin' shrink wrap!"

As I'm prone to say at times like that: "My lordy!"

The good news is I have Radio Days on file, ready for a rewatch. Next time a friend is over visiting, I'll broadcast a certain movie title.
