Now, what could be worse than to have a little boy become a sissy? The A/V Geeks present an evening of classic campy 16mm school films that examine the behavior of potential wimps and what has to be done to fix it.
Films include:
SOAPY THE GERM FIGHTER (1951) Billy Martin is concerned that being clean is tantamount to being a sissy. Perhaps a giant cake of soap in pantaloons can convince him otherwise.
WILLIAM’S DOLL (1985) – William is an athletic kid but his fascination with baby dolls has his father concerned and his friends picking on him. Can Grandpa fix things with William’s birthday gift?
NEUROTIC BEHAVIOR – A PSYCHODYNAMIC VIEW (1973) – College-aged Peter has problems talking to girls. Could stern toilet training be making him a sissy?

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 This film was originally made for Marshall Fields’ employees, who must have had a severe enough courtesy problem to warrant the expense of making such a film.

An evening of films that look at our love/hate relationship with machinery. Films include Machine Story, Magic Machines, Why Things Go Wrong and more!
In October of this year (2006), we lost an important educational filmmaker – Sid Davis. He wasn’t the best filmmaker and his message wasn’t always a progressive one. In fact, his vision of a world filled with sexual deviants and kids on the brink of tragedy helped usher in the current paranoia. Films include – Name Unknown, Why Does Sammy Speed?, Dangerous Stranger and more!
Invariably somebody asks us if we’re “holding”
The A/V Geeks present an evening of educational films about television and how we should watch it. Films include – Action and Violence, Television Serves Its Community, Basic Television Terms (featuring Leonard Nimoy), TV or Not TV, old TV Guide commercials and more.
