Spoilers Weekly 2005.10.02

by DigitalBill (Podcasts NTSC)

The Spoilers have to take this week off from DVD reporting, but we wanted
to make sure you got our list of recommendations we had planned to talk about.
We'll be back next Sunday with our weekly review of new DVDs, and of course
we're still working on new commentaries for you, including: The Planet of the
Apes (1969), Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and The Princess
Bride. If you have questions of fun facts on any of these flicks, drop us
a line at spoilermail@spoilermail.com.

In the mean time, follow the "read me" for this week's hot DVDs, and links
to Amazon to buy them (it doesn't cost any more, and it helps us pay the
bills!)

  • Beyond the Fringe
    • The full recording of this show was believed lost or erased, but it has been found. The Museum of Television and Radio showed it in March, 2005. Before The Daily Show, before Saturday Night Live, even before Monty Python, there was Beyond the Fringe?¢?Ǩ?Äùthe 1960s West End and Broadway hit revue that reinvented comedy. While another Fab Four was revolutionizing music, Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and Jonathan Miller were giving birth to the British satire boom. With nothing but their brilliant writing and inspired performances, they created side-splitting comedy that held nothing and no one sacred. In the process, the four performers became international stars. It was long thought that no filmed record of the original cast existed, until this gem was discovered in a producer?¢?Ǩ?Ñ¢s vault. A 1964 gala farewell performance in London, it features the troupe?¢?Ǩ?Ñ¢s classic sketches, including "Man Bites God," "Aftermyth of War," and "One Leg Too Few."
