Podcasts about fantasy films

Oscar and Carl chat about Disney's 60-plus-year-late sequel to Return to Oz, discussing the scariness and freakiness of the Wheelers, the kinkiness of the mother-obsessed Pumpkinhead, and the irritatingly unhelpful Tik-Tok, all leading to the ultimate question: who would watch this?If you have any questions or requests, send them to askwwwtpodcast@gmail.com Find us through: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whowouldwatchthis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whowouldwatchthis/ TikTok: @podcastwhowouldwatchthis Letterboxd: Carl: https://letterboxd.com/carlllllllllll1/Oscar: https://letterboxd.com/oscarfart/ More links: https://linktr.ee/whowouldwatchthis

It's about to get pretty cheesy, Slackers!First though, this episode is dedicated to Rick Derringer. Rock legend, producer extraordinaire, and of course the man who brought us the classic wrestling theme song, Real American. Rest in peace, - brother.This week we dive into a selection of 1980s sci-fi and fantasy films that shaped Gen X, including Krull, The Beastmaster, and Flash Gordon. Blending sword-and-sorcery with space opera, these films thrilled audiences with their larger-than-life stories and practical effects, despite a cheesy charm that could captivate or repel viewers, then and now. Were they “good”? Some were truly great; others were, honestly, gloriously terrible.We explore how these films, despite their campy flair, connected with young audiences through tales of underdog heroes and fantastical worlds. Their earnest, sometimes over-the-top storytelling captured the era's spirit, proving good intentions can make a lasting impression. And did you know The Sword and the Sorcerer brought the stars of TV's Matt Houston and Manimal together on the big screen?Join us as we celebrate these Gen X cult classics, embracing their cheesy yet endearing qualities that continue to entertain. Ah, the 80s, where bold heroes, mythical creatures, and cosmic battles ruled the screen with distinctive, lighthearted charm. It doesn't always need to be bleak to leave a mark. Modern filmmakers should keep this is mind!

On this episode, we speak with modern day renaissance man Todd Downing about his five favorite fantasy films of the 1980s.

It's a 4K extravaganza as we lock in on two 80s fantasy films rendered for the first time in 21st century video and audio. What are they? How do they stack up? We reveal all.

Carly, Brad from Canada, Coach Dave and Chad discuss what they watched this week as well as some of their favorite comedies! https://linktr.ee/sceneinvaderspodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

The conversation explores the film's narrative structure, character development, and connections to the larger lore of Tolkien's universe, ultimately questioning the effectiveness of the trilogy format. The discussion highlights the themes of loyalty, pride, and the burden of kingship, as well as the cinematic challenges of depicting epic battles like the Battle of the Five Armies. They express disappointment in the execution of pivotal moments, especially the deaths of key characters, and discuss the missed opportunity of a significant funeral scene. ----------Highlights:0:00 'The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies' Introduction6:27 Smaug Attacks Laketown22:05 Battle of Dul Guldur34:41 Bilbo and Thorin's Portrayal in This Film43:30 Thranduil's Character Falls Apart45:16 The Battle52:54 Azog v.

Welcome to another episode of The Video Store Podcast. Are you ready for some recommendations? This week, I am focusing on films that are perfect for anyone looking for some Dungeons & Dragons inspiration. I have got four fantastic picks: "Hawk the Slayer" (1980), "Dragonslayer" (1981), "The Sword and the Sorcerer" (1982), and "The Dungeonmaster" (1984).First up is "Hawk the Slayer." This 1980 fantasy film directed by Terry Marcel is a great watch for those who enjoy classic sword and sorcery adventures. The story follows Hawk, played by John Terry, on his quest to defeat the evil Voltan, portrayed by Jack Palance. The film stands out for its creative use of special effects, particularly for its time. It's a cult favorite and a prime example of low-budget fantasy done right.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support our work.Next, we have "Dragonslayer" from 1981. Directed by Matthew Robbins, this movie features groundbreaking special effects that earned it an Academy Award nomination. The story revolves around a young sorcerer's apprentice, played by Peter MacNicol, who sets out to slay a dragon. The dragon, Vermithrax Pejorative, remains one of the most impressive and realistic dragons ever put to film. The combination of practical effects and CGI was ahead of its time, and it's one of my favorite fantasy movies."The Sword and the Sorcerer," released in 1982 and directed by Albert Pyun, is another gem. Lee Horsley stars as Talon, a mercenary with an AMAZING three-bladed sword on a mission to rescue a princess and reclaim his kingdom. This film has some action-packed sequences and impressive low-budget practical effects. Lastly, we have "The Dungeonmaster" from 1984. Directed by several directors, including Charles Band and Dave Allen, this anthology-style film follows Paul, a computer programmer who must face various challenges set by the evil Mestema, played by Richard Moll. The film's blend of fantasy and sci-fi elements makes it unique. Each segment of Paul's journey showcases different styles and imaginative scenarios that keeps it fresh.These four films offer a great mix of fantasy adventure, imaginative storytelling, and unique special effects. They're perfect for anyone looking to get inspired for their next Dungeons & Dragons campaign. So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy these classic fantasy films. Then go roll some dice.Subscribe to the Video Store Podcast* The Video Store Podcast* Apple Podcast* RSS This is a public episode.

This month, Mark and Izzy look at the Academy's relationship with all things fantasy and explore those in the genre that have won Best Picture. The Return of the King was the final instalment of Peter Jackson's Tolkein magnum opus The Lord of the Rings. With a star ensemble, epic battles and the stunning backdrop of New Zealand, viewers flocked to the cinema to see if Sam and Frodo would make it to Mordor and save Middle Earth.  Fourteen years later, Guillermo Del Toro gave us his dark aquatic fairytale - The Shape of Water - set in a fictional 1960s scientific research centre where woman and sea creature fall in love. Sally Hawkins leads the cast with Doug Jones creating the amazonian river god who captures her heart.  Thank you to Thomas Whitelaw for our intro music and Rachel Valentine Smith for our artwork.

Before even turning thirty, Alicia Vikander had already starred in the sci-fi thriller “Ex Machina,” teamed up with Matt Damon in “Jason Bourne,” was in pre-production as the lead in the reboot of the action franchise “Tomb Raider,” and had won an Academy Award for her performance in “The Danish Girl.” Whether it be the three projects she has coming out this year, her marriage to fellow actor (and former co-star) Michael Fassbender, or time spent enjoying life's simple pleasures, Vikander remains one of the busiest and most underrated gems in the industry. Continuing to showcase her range, the actor switches gears for her latest film, “The Green Knight.” Based on the poem and Arthurian legend, “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,” this medieval fantasy follows Dev Patel as Sir Gawain, the nephew of King Arthur, as he goes on an epic quest in pursuit of the Green Knight. The film challenges many themes laced in lore, such as honor, nobility, questions of identity, and worthiness to become a legend. Vikander plays dual roles as Essel and The Lady and is treated to a showstopping monologue that makes for one of the film's greatest moments. Vikander had long been a fan of the film's director, David Lowery, and had met him prior to being offered a part. But when she was sent the script, she wasn't asked by Lowery to read for any specific part. It wasn't until the end of the casting process that she was asked to play two roles. At that time, he introduced her to the legend of Sir Gawain and the modifications he made to the original material, namely, Vikander's soliloquy about the color green. The film not only takes on the challenge of modernizing a 700-plus-year-old poem but manages to capture the essence of a great adventure movie through Lowery's direction. Vikander views it as a coming-of-age story. While it's not without its Arthurian hallmarks, there is a meditative and cerebral approach to the philosophy of morality (Lowery regulars are all too familiar) that aids in putting a unique spin on the genre. This question caused Vikander to reflect on her own life and status. One of Vikander's earlier breakout roles was in Guy Ritchie's sleek spy flick, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” While packing a star-studded cast, including Henry Cavill and Elizabeth Debicki, and vibrant, kinetic spy action, the film, unfortunately, struggled to find an initial audience tanking its franchise potential. Since then, the film has gained quite a cult following, with fans expressing interest in a sequel. Vikander looks back fondly on making the film and loved how it captured the look and feel of the 60s. While a follow-up remains up in the air, she's happy that people are finding it and enjoying it, even if it's years later. During my conversation with Vikander, we also get into the magic of 80s fantasy films and how “The Green Knight” recaptures that magic, her love of genre, “Ex Machina,” and much more! Don't miss “The Green Knight” when it hits theaters on July 30. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/message
