Shazam!

"Finders Keepers"

October 2, 1976

A pair of Catholic School girls discover a chest of stolen money on the beach. They decide to keep it with the best of intentions for it, but the thieves who stole it want it back and will do anything to make that happen, including kidnapping the girls and Mentor.  It's up to Captain Marvel and Isis to save the day.

It's another great cross-over episode as Joanna Cameron guest stars as Andrea Thomas and Isis!  And so we decided to make the podcast just as special.  Shazam! series star, Michael Gray, joins us to discuss the episode, working with Joanna Cameron and Tut the bird, "Big John" the stunt double for John Davey in this episode, the talent of Les Tremaine, and the lost Christmas outtakes reel.

It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode.  Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com.

Moral: “Laura and Kate learn that doing something wrong, even if it's for a good reason, doesn't make it right.  A wrong deed is usually the beginning.  You find yourself trying to cover it up and then the wrong deed has lead to lies and then they get bigger and bigger.  Most of the time we can tell right from wrong, so don't try to fool yourself.  Stick to the right way.  It's the best way. "

Isis

"Seeing Eye Horse"

September 11, 1976

Noah is a teenager who has been recently struck blind.  His passion, riding horses, seems to be elusive to him, but Andrea and Rennie are determined to change that attitude by introducing Noah to a seeing eye horse.  Just how resourceful is this horse when Noah finds himself in trouble and his ranch in danger of burning down?

Our look at the first episode of the second and final season of The Secrets of Isis is met with a mix of feelings between John and Richard.  One of the two is not impressed at all with what he's seeing, while the other acknowledges that there are issues with the episode, but feels the message is important and relevant today, making it a better episode.  The two discuss the revamped theme song, the Viewmaster reels that were developed from this story, the weak introduction of Ronalda Douglas as Rennie Carol, Isis' new hairdo, and the trope of heroic blind people in 70s television.  Plus, just how familiar is that ranch house in this episode to John?

It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode.  Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com.

Moral: "A handicap does not mean the end of a person's means of living.  Knowing you have a support base can mean the difference when it comes to doing anything you want in this world."
