   Review by drmorbius79 ★★★ 5. This film (written and directed by Arch Oboler) is quite bonkers and really lifted my spirits tonight. Character actor Hans Conried, the voice of Disney's Captain Hook, takes on a fascist robot from the future disguised as a walking TV set. It helps him shave and cures hangovers but it also wants to stamp out ...

   Here the Twonky is a little TV set that interferes with his life. It stumbles around the house, manipulated by stagehands you can almost see from time to time. It lights his cigarettes, cleans his dishes, answers his phone with a monotone, robot voice. And it sobers him up instantly with a zap ray, and when anyone else threatens it, it zaps ...

   The robot-like set (the Twonky) uses rays to do helpful things (it lights his cigarettes, creates counterfeit $5 notes, empties the dishwasher, shaves him, vacuums the house), but it also walks around awkwardly, uses the phone and makes unwanted value judgements (like breaking his classical records – because the Twonky wants to listen to marching music).

   • There is a work around if you have a twonky server; I tried both my NAS and PC versions of twonky and they seemed to work. If you set up the Twonky server to "aggregate" the panasonic boxes; you also need to set the "media receiver" to advanced view; the media receiver is the PC you are running SoftDMA 2 on.

   Aug 5, 2019 · The Twonky is a loose adaptation of a 1942 short story by noted science fiction author Henry Kuttner (writing with his wife C. L. Moore and using the pseudonym Lewis Padgett). Some films are so moronic that even seeing is not believing. This goes for The Twonky (a film on the same low level as “Plan 9 From Outer Space”).
