Wastelands Radio Show - Snack-Size Episode 55 - Vintage Toys - Viewmaster
WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O-Mark, pondering punk oddities, b grade movies and trashy treasures.
In this snack size episode, Adam and Mark take a look at a time when your little red viewer was the way to not only relive your favourite movies and tv shows, but to also see the world. The magical world of the View-Master.
View-Master is the trademark name of a line of special-format stereoscopes and corresponding View-Master "reels", which are thin cardboard disks containing seven stereoscopic 3-D pairs of small transparent colour photographs on film.
The View-Master system was introduced in 1939, four years after the advent of Kodachrome colour film made the use of small, high-quality photographic colour images practical. Tourist attraction and travel views predominated in View-Master's early lists of reels, most of which were meant to be of interest to users of all ages. In the 80s View-Master reels were directly aimed for children with reels featuring all the popular kids franchises like - Cabbage Patch Kids, Disney, Star Wars, Masters of the Universe, Transformers, Jem, Hanna Barbera Care Bears just to name a few.
