ON FILM: Sensurround

Charles talks with James Fino, member of the Producers Guild of America partner in Starburns Industries production facilities in Hollywood.  Fino talks about the recent screenings at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre of 2 classic 1970s Universal films that originally debuted in Sensurround.  The screenings that took place in June 2013 brought back the earth-rattling Sensurround experience to audiences who viewed the 1978 feature film "Battlestar Galactica" and 1974's classic "Earthquake."  Fino also gives us a brief history of Sensurround, including an explanation of why it didn't last.  Aired July 6, 2013.
