Jim Erickson has been KMUW's film reviewer since 1974. Born on December 14, 1931, Erickson Jim served an honorable but undistinguished term in the US Marine Reserve in Korea in 1951 and got the GI Bill and a BA degree as a result. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota in 1960 after studying English Literature with a specialty in the neoclassical period (Gulliver's Travels, Robinson Crusoe, the French revolution, etc). Erickson arrived at Wichita State University in 1964 from the University of Texas in Austin. He began at WSU as Director of Composition, but his major mission was to help found a department of film study at the university. He taught Narrrative in Literature and Film from 1966 until his retirement in 1997. He also taught film courses on cowboys, detectives and the films of John Ford. Erickson's favorite film is Citizen Kane, with runners-up including La Dolce Vita, Dr. Strangelove, The Music Man and Plan Nine from Outerspace.
