Always on Saturday is this intriguing compilation film that celebrates the Foundation's 21st birthday. The way it stitches together various segments is quite fascinating—it gives a sense of nostalgia while also showcasing some unique practical effects from its individual shorts like THE BIG CATCH and GHOSTS AND GHOULIES. Each piece feels distinct, with a mix of whimsical and eerie tones interplaying throughout. The performances vary, but there's a certain charm in the quaint storytelling style. It’s kind of a time capsule of that era’s creative landscape and definitely has a vibe that sticks with you, whether you’re in it for the nostalgia or the sheer curiosity of the compilation format.
Always on Saturday is a rarity in the collector's market, primarily because it’s a compilation that celebrates a specific event, which could slightly limit its broader appeal. However, the segments it integrates—like MR. HORATIO KNIBBLES and CRY WOLF—offer a glimpse into a unique blend of storytelling from the early '70s. It’s not widely available in standard formats, making it more of a treasure for those who enjoy piecing together the cultural tapestry of that time through lesser-known films.
