KAMN Show #18: Clash of the Titans

Welcome to Show #18!

The feature topic for this show is the cult classic mythology fantasy, Clash of the Titans. This 1981 feature film stars Harry Hamlin, Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Ursula Andress, Burgess Meredith, and some of the most memorable creature effects Ray Harryhausen created during his illustrious career (he retired from filmmaking after this movie).

While most of the characters in the movie have some basis in classical Greek mythology, and the framework is based on the myth of Perseus and his quest to rescue Andromeda from the punishment meted out for a rash boast of her mother’s, Cassiopeia, that disparaged the beauty of her sisters, the Nereids, the filmmakers took a little artistic license with some of the story and plot points to make the movie work.

Show #18 Update

Yeah, I know. Just hush.

The audio for my track of Show #18 is awful… peppered with static, and I have no idea why. I have abandoned any attempt at cleaning it up and will get the show out by Friday.

And to make up for it, you’ll get Show #19 the following week.

Show #18: Pre-show Discussion

Show #18 will focus on the 1981 cult classic fantasy film, Clash of the Titans.

Loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus, the movie follows the adventures of Perseus, a favored son of Zeus, as he attempts to rescue Andromeda. Although the movie features Harry Hamlin, Ursula Andress, Burgess Meredith and Sir Laurence Olivier, it’s probably most famous for the stop-motion special effects created by Ray Harryhausen.

Plan on being able to listen to this show on or around September 12th.
