Back to the Eighties - Episode 154

This week it's Jii, Glenn and Sam against the world! Well, podcasting about their childhoods and nerdy stuff, anyways.

Together, they take on who YOU would want to leap into and save the universe (or use it to nefariously look at childhood crushes), as well as taking a look at all the news worth looking at this week.

Also: we answer the question of who we roleplayed as in the school playground. Some of us dreamt we were Darth Vader, others a perpetual motion machine...

RCP - Episode 172: Inferior Falcon 7


Can you really call this dub by Joseph Lai 'a lot gem'? I mean this is the man who handled ADR on all of Godfrey Ho's ninja movies as well as these two offerings.

Fun fact unlike a good chunk of the Joseph Lai 'crapanimation' releases, this one HASN'T been uploaded onto archive.org.

Regardless you have to feel sorry for my uncle who I watched/reviewed this with, it tooks us roughly 30 minutes until he was willing to admit it.

Back to the Eighties - When the Music Stops: Superman - The Killer Bees

In honour of Man of Steel finally making it to theatres, this week sees the Last Son of Krypton tackle deadly killer bees!

Just like the title says, really. In fact, this whole bit has been completely redundant.

Superman!

Super Action Matinee (Bumper Edition): Have comic book creators been reading our blog entries?!

Alas, as I was away this weekend celebrating various family-related functions, there was no S.A.M. on Saturday, but fear not, True Believer! As Superman, Batman & Captain Marvel join forces with our Sunday heroes for one bumper edition!

Batman, Chapter 6 - "Poison Peril"


Superman, Chapter 6 - "Superman in Danger!"



The Adventures of Captain Marvel, Chapter 6 - "Lens of Death!"


Flash Gordon, Chapter 7 - "Shattering Doom"


The Phantom, Chapter 7 - "The Mystery Well"


Mandrake the Magician, Chapters 7 & 8 - "Gamble for Life" and "Across the Deadline"


[NOTE: Alas, this was all I could find for Mandrake. No videos for chapters 7 & 8 could be found separately, so you're getting two for the price of one this week]

Now for some cool news - Flash Gordon, The Phantom and Mandrake are returning as a team in modern day comic books! Coming soon from Dynamite comics is "King's Watch" where the three heroe and Lothor will team up against all of their foes. It's NOT Defenders of the Earth, but it's closest we'll ever get to a modern day revival. Coincidence? Hardly, but it's a lovely bit of serendipity anyway.


Stay tuned next weekend as we return to see if any of our heroes get to cheat death...... spoiler: they do :P

But that's not all, because episode 153 sees Sam Palmer spotlight his very first thing from the 80s, and he's chosen to take on the mighty Quantum Leap! Yes, the show all about time travel and setting right the wrongs of the universe, that exists in the same odd dimenson as Magnum PI and Jessica Fletcher.

Also in this weeks show, we take you on a trip around the news, from Transformers to Shapeways to He-Man to Big Bang Theory Funko figures.

Oh, boy.

Gladiators, READY!

Stardub - Episode 57: Icke Scream, You Scream for Uranus

We're back with some devastating news about Batman fan films courtesy of YouTube Roulette. After which we take a detour by way of a Sonic Fan Film located HERE which gives you a 15 minute drinking game of destiny, after this brush with madness we end up with some proper quality nonsense with David Icke - no links given, hit any clip of him at YouTube at random, he will deliver the crazy.

We watch the fantastic Journey To The Seventh Planet - also available HERE - and learn of the correct way to pronounce Yooranus and the joys of airlocks in this splendid Danish filmed masterpiece.

Andy pulls from his extensive collection of comics, a recent "gem" from their recent trip to the Edinburgh Comic Mart, he speaks not of the Extreme Justice comics he bought, instead he talks of The Night Man/Gambit Issue one. An ill-fated, ill-conceived Marvel/Malibu crossover.

After much procrastination we continue with our look at the Sixth incarnation (Colin Baker) of Doctor Who's Television adventures with Revelation of the Daleks by Eric Saward, the last adventure before the so-called hiatus.
