Rest in peace Mr. Kennedy.
Although Time Walker wasn’t the greatest film, it did show us that despite preconceptions, the combination of the Horror and Sci-fi film genres can actually be used to induce sleep.
Bravo sir, and have a good and well-deserved rest.
I love the guaca-mummy episode and that thing in it “that’s driving the plot to nowhere”. I hope we get Being From Another Planet on DVD soon.
And just as we are about to discuss his film this week.
Thank you, Tom, for making breasts look really unappealing.
If you, like me, are a game show lover, rest assured this is not Tom Kennedy the legendary game show host (Name That Tune, You Don’t Say, etc.)
RIP to the “other” Tom Kennedy. I have to check out some of those trailers now.
@ Aaron. First thing I thought of. Game show dude… but, not!
Big Blue Marble editor. Must have been a wonderful show to work on.
I read the headline too fast and thought it said “RIP Tom Kenny”. For a shocking split-second, I thought we’d lost the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants.
