Darren McGavin was an actor's actor and ACS is his great memorial. I remember him from "Mike Hammer" back in the 60's, and then through many changes to Kolchak. Give him any role and he was superb.
Jean Shepard and Long John Nebel on WOR back then made me late for school damn near every day. Hid the radio under the covers to listen to Shepard's war stories and Nebel's insane guests. Nebel wrote "the Way Out World", an autobiography mostly about the show and stuff like the Hieronymous Machine and Randi calling it all bullshit.
Just the other day had a few drinks at a bar on Long Island with "that" lamp in the window. Everyone loved the thing.

I like both movies. But I've also seen both more than enough times, already.
