Episode 40: Isis - "No Drums, No Trumpets"

"No Drums, No Trumpets" November 15, 1975

Fred is upset that his science project failed to take first place
at the science fair.  After nearly getting himself killed in
an auto accident, he, Andrea, and science fair winner Dorothy
decide to explore a nearby ghost town.  But the abandoned
town is being used as a hideout for thieves. When Andrea loses
the amulet, who will be able to save them?


Before getting into this week's review, John and Richard discuss
the fifth issue of the DC Comics 1970s The Mighty Isis comic run.
 It's the start of the radical change in direction for the
series and Richard wonders if the change was what led to the
cancellation of the series.  Next, it's a look at the
episode, "No Drums, No Trumpets".  Among the topics
discussed are the tropes of ghost towns on 70s television, how
much Brian Cutler was convincing as a high school teacher, and
what is it that actually activates her powers.


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: "Not everyone can be a winner.  Learning from a
loss is as important as the win itself. Learning from mistakes
helps you grow as a person."
