The Road Warriors - There's Gonna Be A Rumble Tonight!

                  I tried to find the original video of this.  I know it was on YouTube at some point, but alas, it is nowhere to be found.

646. Jonny Quest of the 80s: 10-13, series finale!

                      Here is the ultimate episode about the 80s Jonny Quest adventures.  It is a pretty good series, considering the time frame.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday - 01-25-1986

 Been there, have had it done to me.  I think every kid goes through this, though I was never that loud about it.

645. The Space Children and the Brain!

                I have watched this movie twice in my life, with yesterday being the second time.  I quite enjoyed it, despite the schmaltzy ending.

644. Disciples of the 36th Chamber is ...meh

                  You know I don't generally speak ill of Shaw Brothers' movies.  Sure, there are some I don't like, but not many.

643. 7 Song Friday 09-26-2025!

                   A true seven song Friday, naturally getting posted here on Saturday.  Go figure!

1958 The Space Children Trailer

                      Since I have already reviewed The Night Strangler, we will get a podcast about this fairly entertaining movie.

642. Land of the Lost S 3, 09-11!

                     Just watch it, mkay?  Or maybe I did, so you don't have to!

HOTW- Dragon, Southern Knights

 From Wiki- Dragon (Moranderin/Mark Dagon) — The last of the dragons (or so he initially believes). After his mate and child were slain by men, he found that he could take on the form of a human male. After having his revenge on the slayer of his family, he wandered the world for a thousand years until meeting up with the Knights. In dragon form he is immensely strong and tough, can fly and breathe fire. In human form he is no tougher or stronger than a normal human. He was eventually featured in his own four-issue limited series, which chronicled several of his adventures from the centuries before the other Southern Knights were born.   Back to me now-

641. Directed by (the great) Jack Arnold - book review!

                        Jack Arnold was such a great director, and I am glad this book exists to see he gets his due.

640. Superargo and the sort of Fantastic Faceless Giants from 1968!

                Here's the review of the sequel to Superargo vs. Diabolicus (1966).  It is not quite as good as the first movie.

Kaitei Shounen Marine OP (1967) [AI Upscaled]

             Let's put this up again, see if it lasts.  Someday we will do Marine Boy episode reviews.

639. Jonny Quest in the 80s! 07-09 in review!

                    This show is almost great, and is quite surprising for the time period.  The 80s were not known for having action-packed cartoons.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday: 01-24-1986

 I think this is a conversation all kids begin having around this age, though many parents will give them the ol "a stork brought you" or "you were found in a cabbage patch" talk.

638. Tarantula takes to the hills (in 1955)!

                 Yes, another review of a classic Universal monster monster aired on Sven's great tv show!

The Savage Dragon 95-96

From Wiki- 

The Savage Dragon is a half-hour animated television series aired as part of the Cartoon Express on the USA Network.^[1] Co-produced by Universal Cartoon Studios, P3 Entertainment, Lacewood Productions for season 1 and Studio B Productions for season 2, it ran for 26 episodes from 1995 to 1996 and featured numerous supporting characters from the comic book series, including She-Dragon, Horde, Barbaric, Mako and Overlord.

The Dragon was voiced by Jim Cummings.^[2] Additional voices were provided by Mark Hamill, Michael Dorn, Jennifer Hale, René Auberjonois, Frank Welker, Paul Eiding, Rob Paulsen and Tony Jay.  Back to me:

637. High Kick Girl lacks unagi!

                   I wish I loved this movie, but alas, I merely like it a lot.  The reasons for that are laid out in the episode!

Ultraman USA

 Here are at least five of the Ultras that appeared in English presentations.  This is from Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie and it is a pretty good movie... up until the end where the monster is just another huge cgi mess.  Also, none of the Ultras are anywhere close to a match for Belial, which makes the evil one wiping out the entire planet a bit overblown and frankly, dull.  It was great to see these Ultras represented in live-action, but like all the secondaries, they were barely onscreen at all.

636, A Few Memories of Rocky Horror!

                   Yes, it was time to honor this wonderful movie- it is the 50th anniversary after all!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show "Time Warp" (1975) - (4K)

                 Since this is the theme for today's podcast, here's one of the many great songs from this great movie!

635. LOTL S03 episodes 06-08 review!

                    Well, the episodes have not improved, though they are not terrible.  They still ain't great, though.  Torchy is fun, though.

Dinosaur! 1985

From Wiki- 

Dinosaur! is a 1985 American television documentary film about dinosaurs. It was first broadcast in the United States on November 5, 1985, on CBS.^[1] Directed by Robert Guenette and written by Steven Paul Mark, Dinosaur! was hosted by American actor Christopher Reeve, who some years before had played the leading role in Superman.  In 1991, another documentary, also titled Dinosaur! though not related, was hosted on A&E by the CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite.^[2][3]  Jointly with Reeve's narration, the documentary shows special effects scenes which reconstruct dinosaurs and their era, along with interviews with the most famous paleontologists at the time of the documentary shooting, including Jack Horner, Robert Bakker, Phil Currie, and Dale Russell.Back to me:

                  Here's a fun and rather inexpensive book that will enlighten and entertain the novice and pro reader!

HOTW- Wonder Woman '74

 From Wiki, of course- The film, Wonder Woman's first appearance in live-action television, was made in 1974 for ABC. Written by John D. F. Black, the TV movie resembles the Wonder Woman of the "I Ching" period. Wonder Woman (Cathy Lee Crosby) does not wear the comic book uniform, demonstrates no apparent superhuman powers, and is depicted as blonde (differing from the black hair established in the comic books).  The pilot aired originally on March 12, 1974.^[4] and was repeated on August 21 of that year.^[5] Ratings were described as "respectable but not exactly wondrous".^[2] ABC did not pick up the pilot, although Crosby would later claim she was offered the series that was eventually given to Lynda Carter.^[3] An ABC spokesperson would later acknowledge that the decision to update the character was a mistake.^[2] DC Comics however did make this version canonical in the limited run Infinite Crisis as Wonder Woman of Earth-462.  Back to me: 

633. In THIS universe Wonder Woman is a blond!

                   I have waited to do this review for ages, but dang it was worth it.  Plus we answer Sheldon's question!

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina | Straight to Hell Music Video

                       I have yet to finish this series, which is odd, since I quite enjoyed what I have watched.

632. The NEW Adventures of Jonny Quest 04-06! Time travel, Dr. Zin, and...

                      Another set of pretty good episodes is looked at here.  This show is such a pleasant surprise, I'll tell you what.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 01-23-1986

 I can only imagine the conversation that Hobbes had with Calvin about this idea.  The look on mom's face is priceless.

631. A Fond Look at Destroy All Monsters!

                    Here's another take on my favorite Godzilla movie.  It has been since the first time I saw it on the telly way back in 1974 or so.

Superargo and the Faceless Giants (1968)

 

From Wiki to start- 

Superargo and the Faceless Giants (Italian: Superargo - L'invincibile Superman, Spanish: Superargo, el gigante, also known as Superargo, The King of Criminals and Superargo the Giant) is a 1968 Italian-Spanish science fiction-superhero film written and directed by Paolo Bianchini (here credited as "Paul Maxwell"). It is the sequel of Nick Nostro's Superargo Versus Diabolicus.^[2][3][4]

 Now back to me:

630. LOTL S03: 03-05

                    Wow, there is one pretty good episode in this batch.  You watch, you decide!

Johnny and Jessie Bradshaw

 

This comes from the fourth episode of the New Adventures of Jonny Quest (1986) "Deadly Junket."  The plot is similar to Jonny's Golden Quest, but this time Jessie isn't related to Race at all.  It does also feature Dr. Zin, once again voiced by the great  Vic Perrin.  Zin is using Jessie's father, Dr. Bradshaw, to further an anti-missile system.  I bet they are still waiting for it to this day.  Be that as it may, this is a decent episode, though I do think they should have spaced the Dr. Zin episodes out a bit more.

629. The Land of the Moab Giants!

                 Here is the last adventure of my recent road trip.  This was the most fun place in Moab.

The Bad Seed (1956) Official Trailer

                   This is a very interesting choice for Sven.  I have reviewed the movie some 11 years ago, and I really can't believe it was that long ago.

628. Utahraptor State Park visitor center, Moab Day two!

                         This was the first part of today's double dinosaur event!  I almost decided not to visit this place, but then it was five minutes north of Moab Giants, so I went. 

Roger is what?

I am about through the 3 disc DVD set of the nearly complete Roger Ramjet show.  As five minute episodes go, there is a lot of repetition for the episodes, as in the way the stories go.  This set has 119 of the 156 episodes.  That is a pretty good set of them.  The damn completist in me wants ALL the episodes, but alas, there are still seven cartoons that are "missing" for the entire series.  Perhaps there are rights issues to it?  The world may never know, but come on, Kino or someone, do a complete Blu Ray set.  I can't imagine there are many people clamoring to watch this series these days, though.

627. Adventures in Moab, Day One!

                   Now this was a fun day, full of nice people, good food, and a few dinosaurs.  Yes, just a few.

HOTW- Young Samson

From Wiki- Samson & Goliath, also known as Young Samson, is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for NBC, where it debuted on September 9, 1967.^[1] Primarily sponsored by General Mills, who controlled the distribution rights through its agency Dancer Fitzgerald Sample, Samson & Goliath was retitled Young Samson in April 1968 to avoid confusion with the stop-motion Christian television series Davey and Goliath.^[1][2]  The show follows the adventures of a teenager named Samson and his dog, Goliath as they ride around the country on a motorbike.^[4] Whenever trouble arises, usually in the form of a menacing mega villain or evil scientist, Samson transforms himself into a superhero version of the biblical Samson by hitting his golden wristbands together.^[5] A second slam transforms Goliath into a superpowered lion.^[6] He can also direct shock waves from his wristbands, and by twisting his bracelets, can increase his and Goliath's powers to far greater levels.  Back to me:

626. A Moab Dinosaur teaser episode!

                 Yes, this is a rather hasty episode, but it came out quite well, we think.  Let us know what you think!

Spinal Tap – Big Bottom

                 A press junket for their final continuing tour, we have Spinal Tap singing one of their most iconic songs!

625. Jonny Quest's Adventures in the 80s! 01-03

                     I am so happy to be so wrong with my original thoughts of this series.  It is way better than I guessed!

SUPERARGO & THE FACELESS GIANTS (1968) Us trailer

                      The semi-sequel to Superargo vs. Diabolicus.  It adds a new character to make it more fun.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday- 01-22-1986

 According to my source, this is the first time Calvin's father mentions things that "build character."  It will not be the last time.

624. The poor Creature Walks Amongst Us in 1956!

                   Man, how far our favorite Creature has fallen- reduced to an air-breather!

623. Atlas takes us on a tour to the Land of the Cyclops!

                   Here's a movie I have been talking about- don't say I didn't warn you!  Take out 10 minutes and it would be a better movie.

Atlas in the Land of the Cyclops

 

From Wiki- Atlas in the Land of the Cyclops (Italian: Maciste nella terra dei ciclopi) is a 1961 Italian epic adventure film^[2] starring Gordon Mitchell and Chelo Alonso. Queen Capys is doomed to a life of slavery by the Powers of Darkness until the last descendant of Ulysses is put to death to please the Cyclops. This is almost accomplished in a raid on a village by the Queen's soldiers where a descendant of Ulysses is killed and his wife enslaved; however, their infant son is taken away to be protected by Maciste.  Back to me:

622. Dear Brigitte, with Love in 1965!

                  This computer does not wear tennis shoes, no matter what the titles may lead you to believe.  It is a fun movie, and one I probably would have enjoyed as a young agent.

'The Creature Walks Among Us' (1956) Original Theatrical Trailer

                     So Sven is airing this tomorrow night, and somewhat (sorta) surprisingly I do not have a review of it up here at all.  AT ALL. 

621. LOTL- The end of an era, and a new beginning! S2 and S3

                   Yes, we begin the "dreaded" third season of LOTL, and I hope it is better than I remember.

Dear Brigitte (1965)

 From Wiki- Dear Brigitte is a 1965 American DeLuxe Color CinemaScope family comedy film adapted from the 1963 John Haase novel Erasmus with Freckles. Starring James Stewart and directed by Henry Koster, it is the third of three family comedy vehicles for Stewart that are directed by Koster and written by Nunnally Johnson, following 1962's Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation and 1963's Take Her, She's Mine. The title character, Brigitte Bardot, makes an uncredited appearance playing herself.

620. How Underdog was REALLY born!

                 Here we have a good book on the history of Total Television Productions in general and Underdog in particular.

HOTW- Underdog

 

From Wiki- Underdog, also known as The Underdog Show, is an American Saturday morning animated television series that ran from October 3, 1964, to March 4, 1967,^[1] starting on the NBC network until 1966, with the rest of the run on CBS, under the primary sponsorship of General Mills, for a run of 62 episodes.^[2][3] It is one of the early Saturday morning cartoons. The show went into syndication starting in 1969.  Underdog, Shoeshine Boy's heroic alter ego, appears whenever love interest Sweet Polly Purebred is being victimized by such villains as Simon Bar Sinister or Riff Raff. Underdog nearly always speaks in rhyming couplets,^[4] as in "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!" His voice was supplied by Wally Cox. When appearing as Shoeshine Boy, he described himself as "humble, and loveable"; possibly a tongue-in-cheek reference to "mild-mannered reporter" Clark Kent from the opening narration of the Adventures of Superman television series. Back to me:

619. 100 (or so) Monsters from 1968!

               Daiei put out some very cool genre content that did not involve a giant turtle in the late 60s!  Here is one such movie!

Ruby Soho from the Dollyrots

                  I love the Dollyrots- I have been a fan for over ten years, if not even longer.  They have done a lot of covers like this.

618. Avengers United until these last 4 episodes!

                  I so wish this had been a better cartoon.  It isn't terrible, but...

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 01-21-1986

 At least my brother and I were never destructive kids like this, though we, like most kids, loved the idea of secret passages.

617. Take a deep dive with an Atomic Submarine!

                        One of the movies I barely saw as a small agent, though I saw the part with the alien!
