This week, we delve into classic small-screen macabre with a review of the highly-rated 1972 TV movie, "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." This is the first of two TV movies which led to the single season of a Kolchak TV show, which in turn inspired "The X-Files."
- Preston is the big Kolchak fan in the group. How much, if any, were the other Geeks impressed by it?
- Which odd comparison did one Geek make between Kolchak and a certain lawyer show character from the '80s & '90s.
- Gayle Foster was an intriguing support character with an unclear profession and a surprising relationship with Kolchak. Which Geek(s) liked the mystery around Gayle, and which Geek(s) would have preferred more clarity around who & what she was?
- Did we see enough of the vampire in the movie? Did the Geeks agree on this, or were there differing opinions?
- Which Geek had a bit of a problem with Kolchak's publisher being so hesitant...to publish a story.
- Which Geek(s) appreciated the time period in which this TV movie was made and adjusted their expectations accordingly?
- What was the score of this movie's biggest fan?
- What unofficial connections does Kolchak have to "The X-Files"?
- What excuse did Todd find to mention "Babylon 5" this week?
- Which Geek at one time wanted to be a reporter in the field?
- And, did the Geeks forget to roll for a future topic in this episode?
