Villain of the Week- Killer Kane

 

From Wiki- In the comic strip, Kane was a dark-haired, mustachioed soldier. Kane first appeared in the January 30, 1929 comic strip.^[3] He was romantically involved with Wilma Deering; however, after Wilma left him for Buck Rogers, Kane became a criminal and Buck's mortal enemy.^[3] Kane carried out numerous criminal schemes and attempted to kill Buck on numerous occasions. Kane was often assisted by his girlfriend, Ardala Valmar.^[2][3] Movie serial Kane is a "super-racketeer" who became the supreme dictator of Earth with the help of his criminal army. Although the events of the serial transpire in the year 2440, Kane has apparently ruled the world for some time before that. He was portrayed by actor Anthony Warde. On the 1979 television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Kane is reimagined as a defector from Earth to the Draconian Realm, a powerful empire said to have conquered three quarters of the known universe. Known simply as "Kane" in this version, he is the supreme commander of the Draconian forces under Emperor Draco. While the original Killer Kane was the absolute leader, on the television series, Kane answers to Draco and (grudgingly) his daughter Princess Ardala, who acts as Draco's emissary (although Princess Ardala did not appear in the 1939 serial). In this version, Ardala is a Princess (which she was not in the original comic strips) who also commands Kane (in the comics, it was Ardala who was Kane's subordinate).^[3]  Back to me:

822.The Shivery Ship of Monsters! 1960

This is such a fun movie, and it is full of monsters, singing, aliens, and action!

Garden Party by Ricky Nelson 1972

This song was a huge hit for Ricky Nelson, but at the time it came out I had no idea who he was.  It was overplayed, and I didn't have a clue what he was singing about at the time.

821. Speed Racer 49-52 The Greatest Racer in the World!

Here we have the finale of Speed Racer!  What do you think will happen?

820. Buck Rogers in the 20th and 3/4 Century! 1979

 This was a very successful movie in 1979, so the buzz for the show was there.

Dark Star (1974)

Dark Star is a 1974 American independent science fiction comedy film produced, scored and directed by John Carpenter and co-written with Dan O'Bannon. It follows the crew of the deteriorating starship Dark Star, twenty years into their mission to destroy unstable planets that might threaten future colonization of other planets. that was from Wiki, now back to me:

I really want to like this movie more often than I do.  The action scenes are great, but...

This will get reviewed on the podcast sometime in the future.

818. Panda and the Magic Serpent (1961 US release)

 This is another two-part episode, as the Japanese subtitled version will be reviewed next week!

This is a fascinating movie, though I can see why it might not have made that much money originally.
