Bringing you a new perspective on old school science fiction and fantasy!
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).
Summer, Joe and David sink their tsais into the 1980 campy cult classic Flash Gordon, starring Sam J. Jones, Melody Anderson, Max von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, and Brian Blessed. The cheese factor is strong with this one.
I’d heard that Lucas had no intention of ever doing this. It’ll be a real treat to watch Star Wars the way it was meant to be seen, with Han shooting first and no stupid T-Rex’s lumbering around in the back of every crowd scene.
This time around, we discuss the 1976 cult classic film, Logan’s Run.
The Ninjas also share their thoughts on comparing the original film with the novel, and what the impending remake by Joel Silver might look like.
This week, we discuss Dune, the 1965 Frank Herbert novel that continues to have an impact on the way people think about science fiction.
The Ninjas also cover the theatrical movie (several different versions of it), and the more recent SciFi Channel miniseries treatment of the book. Listen to their varied opinions on the creative interpretations.
This week, we discuss the 1985 fantasy Ladyhawke. Is it a cult classic, or is it something else entirely?
The worst part is, knowing all this won’t prevent me from renting Underworld tomorrow.
Today, we spread the love for the gizmos, the gadgets, the weapons, and the stylings of two of our favorite souped-up monster machines. Re-live the explosions and the cheese the way only the 1980′s could bring them to us!
Airwolf vs Blue Thunder. Let’s hear your opinions on the show vs the movie, creatively speaking, and copter abilities, technically speaking. You can also argue for or against on whether these qualify as scifi… I always thought they were, simply because of the technology put into the vehicles at the time
I’d heard of the Bravo miniseries The 100 Scariest Movie Moments, but I missed it when it came out the first time around.
Luckily for me, they aired it again a couple of times during Halloween weekend, and I made myself a DVD of it, sans commercials.
My old school tendencies go way beyond scifi and fantasy when it comes to entertainment. I am a sucker for a good Western movie… I’ve loved them ever since I can remember.
So when I see a book like this on the shelves, I feel compelled to buy it.
In this documentary, the fans explain what inspired them to become passionate about Firefly, to help save Firefly, attend shindigs, participate in message boards, donate to charities, and become Serenity extras. They talk about the many ways that Firefly has affected their lives. Cast and crew also share humorous and insightful experiences with the fans.
Mosquito, a Firefly spoofing fan film which debuted last week at Dragon*Con, is now available for download at MosquitoVerse.
The 5th and reportedly final video in the Serenity viral marketing campaign has been released, and although we’re not listed yet, the KAMN are hosting a mirror of it in our Special Features section.
