We are kicking off a massive, year-long celebration! Starting today, May 25th, 2026, Father.Son.Galaxy. is counting down to the upcoming 50th anniversary of Star Wars. Over the next year, we are dedicating special episodes to exploring how a galaxy far, far away completely reshaped pop culture. In this premiere episode, Kerwin is joined by award-winning author John Kenneth Muir to discuss his book, "Science Fiction and Fantasy Films of the 1970s". Together, they explore the cinematic landscape prior to May 1977—an era dominated by dark, dystopian themes and cautionary tales like Logan's Run, Soylent Green, and The Omega Man. They also examine how the massive success of Star Wars shifted the industry, paving the way for a wave of late-1970s sci-fi and fantasy milestones, including Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Moonraker, Alien, and Disney's The Black Hole.

Buckle up, fans — this week we're blasting off to a galaxy of laser swords, warp drives, and worlds beyond imagination! Host Jamie Ray is joined by first-time guest Chris from the Longbox Crusade's "Best Under 5" podcast for a conversation that's out of this world.The 1980s were truly the golden age of Science Fiction and Sword & Sorcery on the big screen. It was a decade where anything felt possible — where audiences lined up around the block to watch rebels battle empires across the stars, barbarian warriors clash with sorcerers in ancient lands, and everyday kids stumble into adventures that were anything but ordinary. Practical effects, synth-heavy scores, and pure storytelling ambition made '80s genre films unlike anything before or since. From the gritty darkness of Blade Runner to the thundering heroics of Conan the Barbarian, from the swashbuckling fantasy of Willow and Labyrinth to the pulse-pounding thrills of Aliens and The Terminator — Hollywood was firing on all cylinders, and genre fans were eating it up.Together, Jamie and Chris dig into their Fave Five Sci-Fi & Fantasy Films from this legendary decade. They'll compare lists, defend their picks, and maybe spark a debate or two along the way. From epic space adventures to sword-and-sorcery classics, the '80s gave us movies that defined childhoods, launched franchises, and still hold up decades later.Was your favorite film left off the list?

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

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 week we are sending a baby down the river and in all honesty it's probably better than giving it to Val Kilmer.

Brent and Brett talk the new LOTR: Rings of Power (16:38) and new releases The Invitation (27:30) and Three Thousand Years of Longing (33:09). Then we kickoff the football season with our own fictional characters film draft (41:00).

Mike and Heather discuss fantasy films and fantasy tv shows along with books they'd like to see adapted. They also briefly discuss the cross section between sci-fi and fantasy.

The freeform section of the evening features JB's Top 5 Fantasy Films of all-time and more! Originally aired on YouTube in November 2016.

Main topic this week is lower budget fantasy films. Also talk about recent TV & movies I've watched.

The AFI, (American Film Institute) posted their listing of the best 100 films of the past 100 years. Alongside those they posted the best 10 films of select genres. Perusing the lists of the Best Fantasy and the Best Sci-Fi films we are struck with the films that made the list and those that didn't. So, join us tonight to examine the list. We'll show you where they went wrong and listen to suggestions on how to correct it. https://www.afi.com/afi-lists/

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. This episode was recorded remotely and so we apologise for any changes in sound quality present.

We are finally at another movie review episode, and the theme this week is "Fantasy Films". Kayla breaks down The Brothers Grimm and Justin shares his thoughts on Dragonheart. As always, we close out with Swarley of The Week.

Sam wouldn't let Frodo go into Mordor without him, so why would we venture into this Tolkien-themed Non-Bluth without an entire Fellowship? On this episode, we're joined by Steven Ray Morris, Grayson Kent, A.E. Fletcher, JSalvador, Evan Koehne, Omar Najam, Andulka Wilkes, and Rachele Russello to discuss the original animated Tolkien films: The Hobbit (1977), The Lord of the Rings (1978), and The Return of the King (1980).
