A/V Geeks

By Jupiter – Wilding Picture Productions, 1941, 26 min Finally, a film for the rude parents! Veteran Hollywood character actor Chick Chandler plays Thornton Poindexter, a hapless everyman who learns that a little kindness goes a long way when the Roman god Jupiter allows him to re-live a particularly miserable day. This film was originally made for Marshall Fields’ employees, who must have had a severe enough courtesy problem to warrant the expense of making such a film.

This film is available on Atomic Age Classics Vol 1 : Manners, Courtesy & Etiquette DVD

Why Doesn’t Cathy Eat Breakfast? (1972)

This film shows us possible reasons that Cathy might not be eating breakfast every morning, but ultimately asks that we, the audience, … all ยป “stop the projector and discuss”.

There’s another film in this series, “Why Not Snack?” which deals with snacking (obviously).

I’ve found that most of the school films that discuss nutrition are sponsored by a dairy organization.

This film is available on Educational Archive Volume Two : Social Engineering 101 DVD

How Star Wars Ruined Educational Films

While the blockbuster Star Wars ignited the imaginations of a whole country and brought science-fiction to popular culture, there was an ugly side to this phenomenon. Science-fiction became a gimmick and educational film producers were quick to adopt anything that would get kids’ attention. The A/V Geeks present a DVD of educational films that feature sci-fi elements to make their points – often creating a bizarre, muddled mess of a film. Films include – Freedom 2000, Verbstar, Staying Away From Strangers, Lintola, Creatures of the Land and more!
