Jimmy Star & Ron Russell


Gianni Russo/Sam J. Jones

Directed by Mike Hodges, Flash Gordon is the space opera superhero film based on the King Features comic strip of the same name created by Alex Raymond.

Pathetic Earthings Luke and Jae take the journey back to 1980 to review this cult classic.

Although NASA scientists are claiming the unexpected eclipse and strange "hot hail" are nothing to worry about, Dr. Hans Zarkov (Topol) knows better, and takes football star Flash Gordon (Sam Jones) and travel agent Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) with him into space to rectify things. They land on planet Mongo, where the despot Ming the Merciless (Max von Sydow) is attacking Earth out of pure boredom. With the help of a race of Hawkmen, Flash and the gang struggle to save their home planet.

Sounds Like Comics Ep 206 - Flash Gordon (Movie 1980)

Back to 1980, the year one of the most acclaimed sci-fi movies ever made came out... just not this one. This week we discuss the movie George Lucas WANTED to make, but couldn't get the rights to - Flash Gordon - which is why he had to come up with his own space fantasy story instead... can't remember what that was called...

In the future, one man in the law!

Directed by Danny Cannon, Judge Dredd is the science fiction action film based on the 2000 AD comics character of the same name.

Luke and [co-host] return to the crime-ridden future that is 2080, as depicted in 1995, for this Sylvester Stallone led movie.

In the crime-plagued future, the only thing standing between order and chaos is Judge Joseph Dredd (Sylvester Stallone). His duty: police the violent metropolitan sprawls that crowd the decaying earth, and kill criminals on the spot if necessary. The tables are turned, however, when maniacal ex-Judge Rico (Armand Assante) frames Dredd for murder.

The Exorcist

Before there was Nightmare on Elm Street, before there was Inception, there was Dreamscape!  This under-the-radar sci-fi/action/thriller/romance from 1984 was a heady mix of genres, and while it was the first notable film to feature a storyline about people entering the dreams of others to help or harm, it has gone largely unnoticed in the last 40 years.  But it beat Freddy and Christopher Nolan to the punch, which makes it a noteworthy thing to discuss.  Starring Dennis Quaid, Kate Capshaw, Max Von Sydow, Christopher Plummer and an analog stop-motion evil Snake Man with legs and arms (don’t ask),  Dreamscape is an oddity that fell through the cracks. Let’s dust it off and see if Freud and Jung were right all along….

Episode 294 - Dreamscape

Christmas has been and gone, it’s roast dinner farts lingering like slush on the street as we pitch towards New Year’s Eve, and our extended festive holiday in New York draws to an end with “Ghostbusters II”.
A film in which Nancy Spungen predicts the end of days; Bill Murray seeks psychiatric help from his own brother; and, once more, New York is portrayed as a festering hotbed of aggression, with a toxic sludge running beneath its streets.
Much like the subject of our previous episode - “Ghostbusters II” came too late to ride the seismic wave of popularity the original generated. Unlike “Gremlins 2”, however, it doesn’t particularly offer anything new, with many noting the similar story beats to the first film. Oddly for a tale about negative emotions feeding supernatural events, it’s also softer and less cynical in its outlook, presumably part of efforts to aim it more for the kids who had unexpectedly embraced the original. For those of us young enough, it still holds an affectionate place in our hearts as we finally got more “proper” Ghostbusters, but, as far as the studio was concerned, this failed to catch the lightning a second time, and any further talk of sequels were shelved for nearly thirty years.
Whist not a patch on the original, but with interesting moments, good gags, exemplary effects and great additions to an already perfect cast, “Ghostbusters II” doesn’t deserve the poor reputation it’s had over the years.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.
