Viewing Notes

TKU-TV now has regular Thursday programming. Tonight’s movie was WARNING FROM SPACE, which I have only seen the heavily edited English dub. I figured TKU-TV would likely have the original Japanese film so I tuned in. Sure enough it was the full length JP film with English subs! First time viewing this version. It’s like watching a different film and it’s a good post-war sci-fi flick. I may go back and view the dubbed version just to compare (if it’s still on Amazon).

So impressed with TKU-TV content. Wish it was easier to view (like if they had an app with timed content similar to TCM). Broadcast via Ustream isn’t ideal but probably cost effective for them.
