The FINAL Kickstart for Karate in the Garage's Second Annual SPECTEMBER! Last week, we closed out the Spectember 2024 movies with 1988's Lady in White with Lukas Haas and Alex Rocco, from Writer-Director-Composer Frank LaLoggia! Frank was kind enough to share his site with us that documents his projects with photos from his private collection, and great words to go along with the images. It's a GREAT companion to watching Lady in White, or any of Frank's projects. (He even listened to episode and really enjoyed it! Thank you, Shannon, for getting the ball rolling there!)
