Well Worth The Wait!

Hangar49 ·

2024/10/09

Of course, we think this show is well worth the wait. So what if it’s our September show and some of the news is over a month old. When we called our new production vendor, (yes, our production staff was re-arrested when they violated their parole), we heard the same old tired stories: Supply chain issues, product shortages, tariffs on critical components, moon phases, sunspots, artificial intelligence, and yada, yada, yada. Anyway, sit down, strap in, put on your helmet. And hold on! Movie/TV
