Viewing Notes
Quite prescient for its time despite being dated, “are you on the internet? Because I need to use the phone!” Haha
Really nice performance by Katey Sagal. Recognized the programmer as one of the leads from the Earth 2 tv series. She was great in that. She fine here, too.
Rather surprised how crummy this looks via D+. Clear that they’ve done no restoration work on this as it it probably the same transfer used when it originally aired on the Disney Channel 20+ years ago. Sad that the richest media conglomerate in the world can’t bother to clean up their own productions. In contrast I watched a 53 year old non-mainstream film last night that looked beautiful. If the little guys can do the work so can Disney. Such a shame to let their catalog tv films continue to appear like garbage.
