Vidiots welcomes our friends from Periscope Film Archives for a special night of antique 1940s newsreels, cartoons, propaganda, and ephemera culled from their massive archive of 16mm film. This historic and entertaining and outdated night of WWII films features the good the bad and the weird in the war against the Axis of Evil including Private SNAFU – a cartoon training series aimed at servicemen and created by Dr. Seuss, documentaries about The Tuskegee Airmen, narrated by none other than Ronald Reagan, rose-tinted newsreels on Japanese Internment, Rosie the Riveters and more archival revelations. Plus, Veronica Lake restyles her famous coif for factory work, housewives do their part in Captain in the Kitchen, a patriotic musical number from Betty Grable, and more! At a time when libraries and archives are fighting for their very existence and history is being wiped off the internet, physical archives are more important than ever at shedding light on the dimly lit or obscured corners of our collective history. Get ready for Memorial Day by revisiting the past and watch when Americans kicked Nazi ass the first time!
