882. The weird Witch's Curse review!

A fun peplum that needs a bit of editing, though in the theater it probably ran just fine.

Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai 2001

From Wiki- Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai (百獣戦隊ガオレンジャーＶＳスーパー戦隊, Hyakujū Sentai Gaorenjā tai Sūpā Sentai) is a Super Sentai Series V-Cinema movie which celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Super Sentai Series, released August 10, 2001.^[1] It features a team up of the protagonists of Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger with previous heroes of the Super Sentai Series over its twenty-five year history. This movie would be the inspiration for the Power Rangers Wild Force episode Forever Red.  Back to me:

881. The raucous Rock Around the Clock review!

This is a fun and early rock and roll movie, with a ton of great music in it.

The Witch's Curse trailer (1962)

There are many of trailers for this movie on YouTube. This is a rare Maciste movie that got released in the theaters here in the states.

880. The squeaky Square Pegs 05-08 review!

Marshall has some great taste in costumes, eh?  Watch and find out why, and don't be a hoser!

lobby cards for The Witch's Curse

Watching this again for the first time in about 15 years or so, a redubbed widescreen print.  It starts off with a burning at the stake, and keeps going!  The dubbed Scottish accents are hilarious, though at least they are consistent, I can give them that.

879. The sensational 7 Best Pteranodons in TV and Movies!

Let me know what you think about this new series!  There will be others, I promise!

Villain of the Week- Dr. Caronte

Dr. Caronte is the villain of three Neutron movies.   He is never seen without his mask, except once.

878. The nifty Neutron The Black Mask review!

I have no idea what just happened to my text!  Be that as it may, enjoy!

Shock Treatment from Shock Treatment (1981)

Since I reviewed this movie earlier this year (episode 755) I have grown to love it.

877. the phyletic Phantom 2040 11-15 review!

I do like the alliterated titles for my episodes.  Hey, that is an actual word!

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 02-27-1986

This is exactly how tricky all responsible mothers can be.  I always got the "eyes in the back of head" bit.

876. The perilous Planet of Storms review!

This is a fascinating movie from 1960s Russia.  It is pretty cool, if not very adventurous.

John the Robot

John the Robot is from the Russian movie Planet of Storms, or Planeta Bur, if you will.  I have seen this a total of three times, and it is impressive, overall.  John is a great looking and very functional robot in this movie.

875. The exploitative Eliminators review! 1986

The 80s sure were a fun time for movies, even with all the excesses!

882. The wild Witch's Curse review!

Here we have a fun and interesting peplum, sent in 17th century Scotland.

Dinosaur Hunting License 1963

One can still obtain these Dinosaur Hunting License when in Vernal (why not Dinosaur, CO?) Utah these days.  I think my sainted mother actually got one for my brother and I when we went there some 55 years ago or so.  I have a vague memory of her reading the rules and regs and such from back then.  And I still have my tiny Dinah figure from that time frame.  I was a very young agent at the time.

874. The supersonic 7 Live Performances on Fridays review!

This got a pass from YouTube completely.  I am not sure how that happened, but enjoy!

Rosemary's Baby trailer

I have seen this once, maybe four decades ago, and I remember it... not well.  Just the ending.  We all know about that ending.  Devil movies just are not my bag, baby.

873. Starting Square Pegs 01-04 review!

Here we start a new series review, the wonderful Square Pegs from 1982!

The Eliminators 1986

From Wiki- Eliminators is a 1986 science fiction action film directed by Peter Manoogian, starring Andrew Prine, Denise Crosby and Patrick Reynolds. The plot centers on a "Mandroid" constructed by an evil scientist from the body of a downed pilot, who teams up with the scientist responsible for android technology, her pet robot Spot, a riverboat guide and a martial arts warrior. Back to me: It is a Charles Band movie, so that means it was gonna be at least interesting.  It has a little bit of everything popular from the time frame in it, and even a Star Trek connection.  Well, a soon to be Star Trek connection, anyway.

872. The ideal Iron GIant review!

I am surprised I did not review this movie back when I saw it in the theater.  Well, perhaps not.

Villain of the Week- Cobra

From Wiki- Cobra is the name of several characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

The most well-known Cobra is Klaus Voorhees, now known as the King Cobra. He first appeared in Journey into Mystery #98 (Nov. 1963) created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck.^[1] Klaus Voorhees was a laboratory assistant, working with a professor trying to find a cure for various venomous snake bites. A combination of a bite from a radioactive cobra and the experimental anti-venom granted him superpowers, which led to him becoming the supervillain briefly known as the Human Cobra and then as the Cobra. The Cobra and Mister Hyde formed a criminal team for years, fighting various heroes such as Thor and Daredevil.^[2] He later became a member of the Serpent Squad and a member of Sidewinder's Serpent Society. During a takeover attempt by the Viper, the Cobra actually opposed her rule and sided with Captain America to depose the Viper and foil her plans. The Cobra later took the name "the King Cobra" as he assumed leadership of the Serpent Society. When the Serpent Society became Serpent Solutions under the leadership of the Viper (Jordan Stryke, a different Viper) the King Cobra became a member of the group. Back to me:

871. The glossy Golden Bat review! 1966

Here's a movie starring Sonny Chiba where he doesn't kill anyone with karate!

Another day, another late post.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 02-26-1986

Cyndi Lauper famously sang "money changes everything" and Dad proves this to be true.

869. The Functional First Men in the Moon review!

Here is a fun if not very significant Harryhausen movie.  It is too long for its own good.

The potent (late) Pachy Day of 2026!

It is a little late, but here's the Xenorama version of the podcast!

868. The titanic Treasure Hunters review!

It sure is titanic, all right!

867. The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold review!

Yes, I forgot to post this. Again.

First Men in the Moon trailer 1964

This is the theatrical trailer, which makes the movie look very exciting!

866. The exciting Ultraman Mebius series finale review! 47-50

Here we have the finale!  It is bittersweet for me, as I really like these people!

Happy Gotcha Day, Kaida!

She has been with us now for five years, which is hard to believe.  She still loves watching her squirrels!

Happy First Birthday, Hex!

Hex starts her second year of life today, and has taken to living here very well.  She is four pounds larger now, and bigger than her sister.

865. The Gleaming Green Lantern First Flight review! 2009

It is not 114 minutes of wrong, though it sure could have been better.

Villain of the Week- Darius Dax

From Writups.org-  Foremost amongst the many adversaries of Supreme is arch-foe Darius Christian Dax. A child genius from Littlehaven, born in the year 1917, Dax was set to surpass Einstein. Eclipsed by the emergence of Kid Supreme, Dax’s jealousy became a bitter hatred that has endured down the decades.

He built the Tremendroid robot at the age of 15, by using Supremium, to kill Kid Supreme. This failed, however, and Dax was sent to reform school. Throughout the years, Dax continued to fight his nemesis Supreme. To do so, he invented a great number of lethal and fantastic creations.  

His exposure to the element Supremium, which he intensively studied for a number of years, gave him lymphatic cancer. In 1967 he was told that he had one year left to live.  Like many people in his situation, Darius wanted to use his time mending old grievances and perhaps writing a memoir. So that is what he did, except Darius left a very special memoir just before dying.  Back to me:

864. Ultraman and the baffling Battle for Earth! A review

This is a fun movie, which I would have loved to see as a kid, especially if I hadn't seen the series.

I Useta Love Her- The Saw Doctors (live)

I discovered this song about 14 years ago, one of the nice things about YouTube, right?

 

We start a new series today, and it is a winner!  Watch and find out why!

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 02-25-1986

 

I wonder what music Hobbes likes to listen to.  That might have been a fun run of strips.

862. The Generic Genesis II review! 1973

Well, I forgot to post this earlier.  Go figure.  It is an interesting failure, and I can see why a second pilot was made.

The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold (1958)

From Wiki- The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold is a 1958 American Western film in Eastmancolor released by United Artists. The second of two theatrical features specifically based on and continuing the TV show The Lone Ranger it stars Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels, reprising their roles from the TV series.^[1][2] The first feature film was 1956's The Lone Ranger. No further films based on this specific version of the characters were made after this one.^[3] back to me:

861. The titanic Tattooed Dragon review! 1973

Here we have an odd and somewhat lowkey Wang Yu movie, made by Golden Harvest.

La Mujer Murcielago Indicator Blu Ray

 

This is a screenshot from the Blu Ray I got recently.  I have the OTHER Blu Ray, which has the new English dub on it, along with the extra movie.

860. The Kinetic Kamen Rider Live 2000 review!

Here's a fun stage show slash concert from 2000.  Boy, have times changed since then, eh?

The Tattooed Dragon trailer

I have a "trailer" for this movie that is five frikkin' minutes, but this one is the English release.

859. Ultraman Mebius 43-46 now with MORE Ultras!

This show is really great.  We are nearly done with the series, and they are pulling out ALL the stops!

Xenorama Merch!

 It is finally here!  There is a wide line from Teepublic, which can be purchased here!  I have been wanting to do this for a while!

858. A Genial Gorgo Legacy review!

Here's a review from Titanic Creations comic book and an overview of their great models.

Villain of the Week- King Cobra

King Cobra is a legacy name used by several super-villains in the DC Universe, usually antagonists to Batman and the Batman Family. The original and most famous was a Gotham City crimeboss and leader of the Cobra Gang who wore a green snake costume. In the Prime Earth continuity, King Kobra is Jason Burr, leader of the Kobra Cult.

857. The Baffling Beginning of the End review!

Bugs are scary when close up, even ladybugs.  They can bite hard even at a small size.

XTC- Fireball XL5

Who knew XTC would be cool enough to cover this great theme song?

856. Stupendous Super 6 17-20 series finale review!

 In which X7 and us bid a fond farewell to the very fun Super 6 comedy supershow! 

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 02-24-1986

I can't tell if Hobbes is putting Calvin on here or not.

855. The Mighty Mothra of 1961 review!

Who fears Mothra? What is Mothra?  Why is Mothra?

Kamen Riders live from 2000

 

This stage show is part music and part show, and I have reviewed it some 13 years ago.  Haven't watched it since then.

854. The World of the Dead with Santo y Blue Demon!

I sure wish I liked this more than I did.  But it is a lesser lucha movie.

Captain America 1990 poster

 

From Wiki- Captain America is a 1990 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name. It is directed by Albert Pyun and written by Stephen Tolkin, from a story by Tolkin and Larry Block. It stars Matt Salinger in the title role and Scott Paulin as his nemesis the Red Skull, with Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty, Darren McGavin, Francesca Neri, Michael Nouri and Melinda Dillon. The film was produced by Menahem Golan for the now-defunct 21st Century Film Corporation.

While the film takes several liberties with the comic's storyline, it features Steve Rogers becoming Captain America during World War II to battle the Red Skull, being frozen in ice, and subsequently being revived to save the President of the United States from a crime family that dislikes his environmentalist policies.^[7]  While the film received a theatrical release internationally, it was released direct-to-video by Columbia TriStar Home Video in the United States. It received generally unfavorable reviews from critics, though it has since developed a cult following.^[8] now back to me:

853. Xena and Herc battle some Titans for Mt Olympus!

Well, at least this has Lucy and Renee.

Hercules and Xena- The Battle for Mt. Olympus (1998)

I did enjoy both series when they were aired some three decades ago.  Dang.

852. Ultraman Mebius 39-42, and 80!

Four great episode here!  Even the flower one is pretty darn good, though it is #4 in this list.

Coyote vs. Acme trailer

Great higgledy-piggledy!  This looks like fun.  I'm not a fan of real life/cartoon mixes overall, but...

851. Visiting The Ghost Town Museum!

I really need a 'museum' label, apparently.  Since there will be another one shortly!

234. Reptisaurus The Comic book!

Here is an old episode that didn't make it to the blog back then.  It is an episode I would like to redo sometime.

Villain of the Week- Leatherhead

From Wiki- Leatherhead is a fictional character in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) comics and all related media. The character first appeared in Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6 (August 1988) and was created by Ryan Brown. He is depicted as a mutated humanoid-alligator.^[1]  Leatherhead was originally an ordinary alligator who escaped a pet store during a robbery and found his way into the sewers. While in the sewers, Leatherhead was found by a pair of TCRI Utroms, who decided to bring the creature to their headquarters. During his stay with the Utroms, Leatherhead was exposed to mutagen, which mutated him into a humanoid and intelligent form. Back to me:

850. The topnotch Tobor the Great review!

This movie is fun, if you are of a certain vintage and you saw it at a young age.

Hellflowers- Girl U Want

Another great song by the Hellflowers- yes, it is a cover of a great Devo song!

849. Super 6 13-16... finally, Zammo!

Yes, Captain Zammo finally gets a solo segment in the series.  He doesn't get many, and we only have one episode of reviews left for this series.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday- 02-23-1986

I can imagine more moms thought what Calvin's mom said with their kids.  Being cute it what keeps them alive.

848. The supernumerary Superman 2025 review!

 

Yay for a live-action Krypto!  I quite enjoy the movie, and you can watch and find out why!

The World of the Dead (1970)

This features Santo with an extended cameo by Blue Demon.  It is weird, and definitely a product of the time. From IMdB- This time Santo and Blue Demon must take on a 300 year-old witch with a really bad attitude. She raises a legion of zombies and sends them to fight Santo in his home and in the rings. Talk about a rude interruption to a wrestling match .  This reviewer left out the Inquisition, though nobody expects that, ever. And burnings, and torture, and who is the good guy, really?

847. The Wild Warriors Two of 1978 review!

This is an excellent movie.  I wish Sammo had made one about Choy Li Fut!

The Marvels (2023)

Had I known that there would be many Flerkens in The Marvels, I sure would have watched it in the theater.  That should have been the main pitch.

I did watch the movie recently, and cannot believe it has been that long since I have seen a MCU movie.  I quite liked it, overall.  Sure, there were the dropped plot points here and there, but seeing the characters again was like greeting old friends.  So I now have several newer movies to catch up on.  Which I am finally looking forward to!  Three years is a long time to go without seeing a superhero movie.  And I never once thought I would say that.

846. Disney's rather redundant Robin Hood review!

I really liked this movie the first time I saw it, way back in 1973.

Disney's Robin Hood 1982 resissue trailer

I am not even sure what Sven is airing tomorrow.  Wait, it was something I didn't want to watch.

Ultraman Mebius 35-38 review!

There's a great guest star in one episode- Spoiler- it is in the picture!

coming soon to a podcast near you!

Wow, I do not have a lot of labels for this sort of thing.

844. Return to the Dinosaur Resource Center 2026!

This is the second time I have been here, and there were plenty of new things to see.

Villain of the Week- The Iguana

From Villains Wiki- Curt Connors created an Enervator to help remove the Lizard condition that was in his system and tested it on an Iguana. Unfortunately the Iguana became mutated and turned into a creature with the memories of the Lizard. The Iguana then fought Spider-Man and the Lizard until both he and the Lizard fought Spider-Man together.

843. The Incredible Invasion of the Nefarious Neptune Men!

The movie works pretty well overall, though some slight editing could have enhanced its undeserved reputation.

Ming Tea- BBC

This was the song and band that actually inspired The Austin Powers franchise of movies.

842. Super 6 09-12- Captain Zammo appears!

Four more episodes of The Super 6, which are pretty fun, but I should watch one episode a day.

841. The Sensational 7th Voyage of Sinbad review!

What a great movie and accomplishment this is.  It was also a very influential movie.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 02-22-1986

Just water?  I guess he thought Mom would bring him some cola.  This would explain why...

Dagora, the Space Monster- US Opening titles

This is how I saw it several times growing up.

840. The enchanting Magic Boy (1958) review!

This was once considered "rare" but is easily available now.

Kaida and a book

She is not concerned about my property.

839. 7 Tom Lehrer Song Friday 04-10-2026!

I will admit I am pretty happy about that picture.

The Marvels (2023) trailer

I cannot believe it has been three years since I have watched a Marvel movie.  The fatigue was strong with this one.

838. Ultraman Mebius 31-34, now with Leo!

The team ups are getting more and more frequent, so buckle up!

Dell's Atlantis, the Lost Continent (1961) comic book

From Wiki- Atlantis, the Lost Continent is a 1961 American science fiction film in Metrocolor produced and directed by George Pal and starring Sal Ponti (under the screen name of Anthony Hall), Joyce Taylor, and John Dall. The film was distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.^[2] It was the last film for John Dall.^[3]

The film's storyline concerns the events leading up to the total destruction of the mythical continent of Atlantis during the time of Ancient Greece. Back to me:

837. Dinomania is running wild! Part One

Here we have the first review, as in part one, of an amazing dinosaur book.

Villain of the Week- The Trickster

From Wiki-  The original Trickster (real name Giovanni Giuseppe) is the practical joker and con man whose favorite occupation is damaging enemies like the Flash with items such as explosive teddy bears.  His alter ego is "James Jesse". He was a circus acrobat who decided to become a criminal just like his "reverse namesake" Jesse James.^[3] He created shoes that allowed him to walk on air to first help him in the trapeze shows his family was in, as every member of his family was a trapeze expert and his father wanted him to be one also, and other dangerous gag gadgets for his crimes. He clashed with the Flash (Barry Allen) many times. In his first appearance, his Harlequin costume causes the Flash to guess he is in a circus, and he captures the Trickster after pogo-sticking to the trapeze.

After Barry Allen's death, the Trickster relocated from Central City to Hollywood, where he spent some time working in special effects. He attempted to steal Dan Cassidy's innovative Blue Devil suit, but was defeated. When Cassidy later became trapped in the suit, Jesse befriended him and relied on Cassidy to help with his sporadic efforts to give up supervillainy.  Back to me:

836. Gammera IS Invincible!

Yep, it is Gamera's "origin" movie, slightly redone from several years ago.

The Vapors- Waiting for the Weekend

I really do love this band, and they should have been more than a "one hit wonder" in this country.

835. The Super 6 05-08, take that, Dirty Pierre!

That theme song is such an earworm.  There is no getting around it.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 02-21-1986

I doubt Hobbes would ever actually eat Calvin, since he normally only bathed under duress.

834. An American goes to London and a Werewolf happens!

This is such a good movie, even if it is not my favorite style of werewolf.

Green Lantern: First Flight (2009)

 

This was released two years before the ever so frustrating 2011 movie, and is much better, though falls into the same problem the movie did-

833 The Sensational Sister Street Fighter of 1974!

The first of "four" movies starring Etsuko Shihomi, it is quite good and action-packed.

Magic Boy (1959)

 

I have watched this a few times, but now I don't remember if I saw this on TMC first, or got a VHS copy of it.

832. Re-visiting The Land Before Time from 1988!

Well, I still want to like this more than I do, but even in 1988 it was not for my demographic.

An American Werewolf in London (1981) Trailer

A grisly new take (in 1981) on a classic genre, there is a lot to like about this movie.

831. Ultraman Mebius 29, 30, and Hikari!

A bit of a departure here- only two episodes of Mebius, and then the Hikari sidestory.

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

From Wiki-  An American Werewolf in London is a 1981 supernatural comedy horror film written and directed by John Landis. An international co-production of the United Kingdom and the United States, the film stars David Naughton, Jenny Agutter, Griffin Dunne and John Woodvine. The title is a cross between An American in Paris and Werewolf of London.^[5] The film's plot follows two American backpackers, David Kessler and Jack Goodman, who are attacked by a werewolf while travelling in England, causing David to become a werewolf under the next full moon.^[6]

Landis wrote the first draft of the screenplay for the film in 1969 and shelved it for over a decade. Prospective financiers believed that Landis' script was too frightening to be a comedy film and too humorous to be a horror film. After achieving success in Hollywood with the comedies The Kentucky Fried Movie, National Lampoon's Animal House and The Blues Brothers, Landis was able to secure financing from PolyGram Pictures to produce An American Werewolf in London. Back to me:

830. Dinosaur! from 1985 is super!

This is an excellent documentary from 1985. The host is pretty super as well!

Villain of the Week- Shinigami Sensei, AKA Dr. Death!

From the Villains Wiki- Dr. Shinigami is a leading scientist of Shocker serving as one of their high commanders and a major antagonist in the Japanese TV series Kamen Rider. He has extensive knowledge of both science and mysticism, which he uses to aid Shocker in their campaign for world domination. Through his cybernetic modifications, Shinigami has the power to transform into the squid kaijin Ikadevil.

Summoned from Switzerland, Dr. Shinigami took command of Shocker's Japanese branch after Kamen Rider 2 destroyed Colonel Zol. He is mostly seen in his cape, holding a wand. His initial scheme involved detonating a volcanic area in Japan to spread chaos throughout the region. He tasked the kaijin Snowman to carry out the attack, but the monster was destroyed by the Double Riders.

He is able to transform into Ikadevil, a squid monster. In episode 68, he kidnapped Tobei Tachibana and forced him to train him so he can destroy Kamen Rider 1. As a result, Tobei discovers his weak spot: Ikadevil's head! When Kamen Rider 1 came to challenge him, Dr. Shinigami discards his cape and becomes Ikadevil to deal with Ichigo once and for all. Kamen Rider 1 overpowers Ikadevil by giving a Rider Chop on his head, and finishing him off with Tailspin Shoot. He is briefly brought back to life for a Destron operation, thinking he was to replace Doktor G, along with the other Shocker and Gel-Shocker officers. He along with the other resurrected officers is killed when the Destron base they are in self-destructs. Back to me:

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 02-20-1986

Miss Wormwood must have some phenomenal strength and reflexes to catch Calvin that fast.  Or perhaps this was not the first time he tried to escape.

827. Here's the Man from Atlantis! 1977

I really liked this show when it was on, and was sad it got canceled.

The Iron Giant (1999)

From Wiki- The Iron Giant is a 1999 American animated science fiction film directed by Brad Bird and written by Tim McCanlies^[a]. Loosely based on Ted Hughes's 1968 novel, The Iron Man, it features an ensemble cast, including Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Vin Diesel, James Gammon, Cloris Leachman, John Mahoney, Eli Marienthal, Christopher McDonald and M. Emmet Walsh. Set during the Cold War in 1957, the film centers on a young boy named Hogarth Hughes, who discovers and befriends a giant robot of extraterrestrial origin. With the help of beatnik artist Dean McCoppin, Hogarth attempts to prevent the United States' military, who have been alerted by paranoid federal agent Kent Mansley, from finding and vanquishing the Giant.  Back to me:

826. Perseus Clashes with the Medusa in 1963!

Here is the new review!  Yeah, I did it over 600 episodes ago, but that was on Spotify only.

Perseo l'invincibile (1963)

 

From Wiki-  Medusa Against the Son of Hercules (Italian: Perseo l'invincibile, lit. 'Perseus the Invincible', Spanish: El valle de los hombres de piedra, lit. 'The Valley of the Stone Men') is a 1963 Italian-Spanish sword and sandal film directed by Alberto De Martino and starring Richard Harrison. It is loosely based on the myth of Perseus and Medusa.^[1][2]

Plot

Medusa is a monster that haunts a lake and attacks a group of soldiers; her single eye is capable of turning her victims to stone and the kingdom of Argos uses her to impose suffocating tolls on those who pass through. Perseus, the missing son of the true king of Argos (murdered by a usurper who married his widow), is captured by the troops of an evil monarch and forced to fight as a gladiator. But he escapes and plots to overthrow the villain, still having time to face the Medusa and try his luck if he can bring the petrified soldiers back to life. Back to me:

825. White Snake Enchantress and Panda (1958) review

 Here is the Japanese version of Panda and the Magic Serpent, though this time with far less Panda.

Medusa against the Sons Of Hercules - Perseus, that is!

The song is amazing, there is no question about that.

824. Ultraman Mebius 25-28 Space Dinosaur Z-ton!

This show really is something special.  I tried watching newer ones, but none have quite captured my attention like this series.

Marvel's Man from Atlantis (1978)

I quite enjoyed this series.  I watched the entire run (I think), all four movies and 13 episodes.  I haven't seen them since 1978, though I watched bits and pieces of the show when it aired on Sci-Fi (I am pretty sure) back in the 90s.  They sure were desperate for content back then, weren't they?  A few of the episodes got a bit silly toward the end, but we were still desperate for any genre content in the 70s.  This is probably the show that made me a fan of Victor Buono as well. 

823. Famous Japanese Monsters of Filmland zine review!

There isn't a lot to add to the vast amount of reviews for this magazine, but I did it anyway!

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).
