Shogun (1980) – Disc 1
Ah the late 70s and early 80s, the age of the television mini-series, an almost forgotten television event, though slowly being rediscovered by the advent of the limited series.

The Ipcress Files (1965) – Sidney J. Furie
The next big title in DK Canada’s The Movie Book is the classic The Third Man.

Based on the novel and characters by Len Deighton, this…

Captain’s log: stardate 46944.2 Directed by Leonard Nimoy’s son, Adam, this episode was penned by Brannon Braga and first aired on 14 June, 1993.

Wonder Woman: The Ultimate Guide to the Amazon Warrior (2017) – Landry Q. Walker

In fact my discovery of the comic and the television show, starring Lynda Carter, occurred at about the same time, and consequently found one of my first crushes.
