Part
of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the
Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre
films!
1980's Flash Gordon holds a place of esteem in the annals of sci-fi cinema. Not because of Max von Sydow's spectacular portrayal of Ming the Merciless. Not for the electric soundtrack by masters of rock Queen. Not even for the heart-quickening sights of Timothy Dalton in tights and Brian Blessed in leather panties.
No,
Flash
Gordon
is part of an elite group of movies that shaped the very persona of
the founder of Needless Things, Dave West. This prestigious group
includes such classics as Swamp
Thing,
Alligator,
and Robert Altman's Popeye.
These were just a few of the movies available on the broadcast marvel
known as HBO during Dave's formative years.
Listen
in as for
the first time ever and in the company of the irrepressible Mike
Gordon and the award-winning Bobby Nash, the Needless Things
Irregulars experience FLASH
A-AH!
Be
sure to join the Needless
Things Podcast Facebook Group and
get in on the conversation for this week’s episode! Let us know
what you think!
