On this day, April 28, 1978, the movie "FM" was released.
Hat tip, the DJ on WTMD, which was trying to come in in digital this morning, but has given up on that. It's north of Baltimore, so some days it has problems coming in in analog.
According to Plex, "This title is currently not available on any service."
