I saw that too. Looks like it was pushed off for a Pam Grier perspective. Did she die or something?

No. They're promoting their latest podcast series, and she's the subject of said podcasts.LostHorizons wrote: ↑December 4th, 2022, 9:15 pmI saw that too. Looks like it was pushed off for a Pam Grier perspective. Did she die or something?

Re: Coming Up on TCM
They didn’t really need to pre-empt other scheduled programs for something like that. Usually they only do it when said actor has died and they can’t fit in a perspective at a better date.txfilmfan wrote: ↑December 4th, 2022, 10:38 pmNo. They're promoting their latest podcast series, and she's the subject of said podcasts.LostHorizons wrote: ↑December 4th, 2022, 9:15 pmI saw that too.

Re: Coming Up on TCM
It's not just a Pam Grier thing, apparently. The schedule called out a special for today called "'70s Black Icons"LostHorizons wrote: ↑December 4th, 2022, 10:40 pmThey didn’t really need to pre-empt other scheduled programs for something like that.

Not sure why it preempts the regular schedule, though. Looks like there are only two silent films on the schedule for December.
- Christmas Past on 12/11
- The King of Kings on 12/18

Re: Coming Up on TCM
The King of Kings is a great one which they show yearly. Without checking the schedule, I would wager the pre-empted film today was the silent Ben Hur (1925) which they show almost every year in December.txfilmfan wrote: ↑December 4th, 2022, 10:50 pmIt's not just a Pam Grier thing, apparently.

Re: Coming Up on TCM
That makes me wish I still had TCM. I'd like to see that doc. Maybe I can find it online somewhere.
According to Letterboxd, I've seen more films with music by Steiner than any other composer (163 films).

Watching until the end.
Re: Coming Up on TCM
According to reelgood.com, it's only available on HBOmax right now. There apparently was a Blu-Ray release in 2021. Maybe your local library snagged a copy?

Thanks for sharing the Linx! Yes, I've been stranded on the Oasis for a wee bit now. And with TCM chloroforming it's boards it is even more of an oasis!
