Once upon a time, kids went to movies on weekends and watched Westerns, adventure serials, cartoons, and comedy films.

TCM recreates these matinees every Saturday! Today it’s a chapter a 1935 #Tarzan serial, followed by a #Popeye short and a #BoweryBoys/Dead End Kids feature #OnDressParade (1939).
