SANTA BARBARA, California (January 19, 2010) – Filmmaker John Wardlaw will premiere his animated short film, The Bolt Who Screwed Christmas, at the 2010 Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF). The film features voice work by actor Jonathan Harris who narrates the film and voices the Grinch-like character of “The Bolt”.

Nuclear Hurricane – Irwin Allen References

Posted on by

Watched a TV disaster movie earlier called Nuclear Hurricane with Jack Scalia and there was definitely evidence of the Irwin Allen influence.  Not only was the nuclear facility in the movie named “Seaview”, but there was also the use of the phrase “Danger Will Robinson” as a character tackled an out of control computer.

Have you seen or heard any other Irwin Allen phrases and references in other movies?  If so, please do let us know.
