MAIN ENTERPRISES' THE SCREENING ROOM #1

History has been made with a new Main Enterprises' title: The Screening Room! 

This introductory issue covers jungle-themed thrills galore, with an article on King Kong 1933's remarkable cast and crew by Buck Oviatt; a retrospective on Kimba the White Lion by Will Murray; and an analysis of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World television series by Michael Housel. Plus, we hear straight from the man who made this issue's ingredients come together, Jim Main, in "The Publisher Speaks." 

To embellish these swell submissions, The Screening Room supplies a sprightly layout and spiffy accompaniments by Bob Sodaro and Marc Haines, along with awesome artwork by John Lambert, Allen Freeman, Tony Lorenz, Verl Bond, Jacob Dubi, Kevin Dale Duncan, Troy Boyle, Rusty Gilligan and Mark Lerer.

THE SCREENING ROOM COMETH

Main Enterprises has a new title readied: The Screening Room.  

Its initial issue will feature a jungle-exotica theme, including articles on one of my all-time favorite movies, King Kong 1933, by Frank Oviatt; one of my all-time anime-adventures, Kimba, The White Lion, by Will Murray; and one of my all-time favorite television-extensions, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, by yours truly. 

Per Jim Main's gracious request, I recently selected photos for my Lost World entry, though Kevin Dale Duncan's striking painting (stationed above) more than captures the series' metaphysical rambunctiousness in its own epic right. 

Writing the article was tons of fun, but at the same time, it proved quite an undertaking, in that I had to re-watch all three seasons within a constricted timeline to meet Mr. Main's deadline. Despite that challenging curtailment, I'm confident fans will appreciate the fruits of my labor. 

Visit Bizarrechats for updates on The Screening Room's big release date, which (if all goes according to grand plan) should be far sooner than later.
