The pipes! The pipes! The pipes are calling!

Given that Flash Gordon was the movie George Lucas originally wanted to make, and that Guy had never seen it, it was time to fix this![Note that a recording issue makes for a somewhat abrupt ending…]

Andrew Heaton joins us to discuss the amazing amount of inspiration Hidden Fortress provided for Star Wars, as well as going over the film itself. Without this film, Star Wars would have been something completely different!

This and the previous story, Enemy of the World, were rediscovered 40 years after they’d been lost. This is a story that follows up on recent The Abominable Snowmen, but takes place 30 years later. We loved Enemy of the World, how will this one stand up?

One of Ron’s favorite films of all time, we have a great discussion about this classic film with one of the scariest bad guys of all time.
Directed by immensely talented and famous actor Charles Laughton who put his heart and soul into his first directorial effort, the initial negative reception crushed him and he never directed another film, no doubt depriving us of much great work that could have been.But at least we have this, and it’s now universally recognized as a masterpiece.Listen in and find out why it’s so great!

We’ve covered two silly Hartnell outings (Carry On Sergeant and The Mouse that Roared), so what will we think of an officially serious and socially responsible film?
It seemed appropriate to end Hartnell with the kind of “legitimate” film that he considered his legacy.
We love ya, Hartnell. Sorry to see you go.

No one ever remembers or talks about this early Doctor Who story. Is that because it’s actually bad, or just because it’s a lost story?
