Sam J. Jones on Flash Gordon, Fear, Fame, and Life Beyond Hollywood  In this episode of Reza Rifts, Keith Reza sits down with actor Sam J. Jones for a funny, candid, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about Flash Gordon, staying grounded in Hollywood, working security outside the movie business, fan conventions, and the mindset it takes to survive a long career in entertainment. Sam reflects on the pressure of carrying a cult classic, why Flash Gordon still connects with audiences decades later, and how discipline, humility, and preparation shaped both his acting career and his life off-screen. The conversation also dives into Sam's work on The Spirit, Under the Gun, and Life After Flash, along with behind-the-scenes stories about conventions, celebrity encounters, comic timing, and one unforgettable Harley-Davidson wrap-party moment. It's a warm, honest episode packed with old-school Hollywood perspective and practical life wisdom.  Guest Bio: Sam J. Jones Sam J. Jones is an American actor best known for playing the title role in Flash Gordon (1980). Over the years, he has also appeared in projects including The Spirit, Under the Gun, and the documentary Life After Flash, which explores the legacy of Flash Gordon and his life beyond the film.  Follow Sam J.

This week was Brian's birthday — and it turns out he shares it with Star Wars Day. That's all the excuse needed to bring Plugged In's Adam Holtz into the conversation for a deep dive on George Lucas's galaxy far, far away. How did a $10 million film with an uncertain release become a cultural watershed that changed cinema forever? What did Lucas actually borrow from — Joseph Campbell, Kurosawa, Flash Gordon, Eastern religion, the Bible — and what does that mean for Christians trying to engage it thoughtfully? Adam breaks down the Force as a theological concept, why the original trilogy still holds up for family viewing, and what went so wrong with the sequel trilogy that Disney may be looking to erase it from canon entirely. A fun, fast conversation perfect for any Star Wars fan trying to think Christianly about one of the most enduring stories in pop culture.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 260 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at sci-fi cult classic, 1980's, Flash Gordon. As surprisingly dark as it is colourful, as camp as it is oddly sincere, and as horny as it is family friendly, Mike Hodges and Dino de Laurentiis' take on the 30s serial source material is nothing if not utterly eclectic. Does it hold up though? Is it chintzy or charming? Unforgettable or just plain annoying? Listen in via your podcast of choice to find out.

But when his father—aka Big Al, aka King of the Denver Streets—assigns him the "summer job" of laundering money online, Tommy figures he can list some fake projects on FunFunder, pledge them with zombie accounts, and clean a dirty $20,000 in time for college in the fall. Unfortunately for Tommy, he's more creative than he thought. Just as he's about to give his father's capos a progress report, he sees that a roleplaying game he mocked up using his mom's old artwork has been funded to the tune of $650,000… and counting. The only thing scarier than an angry Big Al is a Big Al that smells cash and family bonding time. Voluntold by their mercurial boss to assist, various criminals and killers help playtest and produce Tommy's 1,000 Blades of Tergivers RPG in the hopes they can truly turn a dirty twenty into legit millions. At first Tommy sees game sessions with brothel owners, hit women, and a street captain with OCD as yet another example of why he needs to get out from under his father. But when Tommy realizes that being game master might help him uncover what these criminals know about his mother's disappearance, it's Game On. Playing a game while making a game is tricky—especially when elements of the fantasy world keep blending into the players' real lives. And when the streets declare the Family Fugue slipping, Big Al starts playing a new game, with rules only he knows. Support one of your own!

En este episodio de Frikimalismo FM nos tiramos de cabeza al maravilloso pozo de los placeres culpables: esas películas “malas” que la crítica destrozó, el público ignoró… y que hoy amamos con devoción friki. Flash Gordon, Waterworld, Showgirls, Armageddon, Speed Racer, Jennifer's Body, Jason X o Sharknado pasan por el banquillo para analizar sus diálogos imposibles, efectos cutres, decisiones creativas delirantes y, sobre todo, por qué se han convertido en cine de culto que no podemos dejar de ver. Desmontamos con datos cómo el fracaso comercial puede acabar en fenómeno fan, cómo los Razzies conviven con el cariño del fandom y por qué “lo malo” en cine es mucho más subjetivo de lo que parece. Cuéntanos en comentarios cuál es tu placer culpable definitivo y por qué la seguirás defendiendo hasta el fin del mundo. Con Mon Suárez. Y los memes de @diamocasin. Con El Selenita a cargo de la creatividad digital. Y el Dictador Supremo Frikimalismo se meterá con vosotros por ver esta maravilla de programa y para recordaros que hay que mandar MX Dollars.

Ice Pirates: Space Swashbuckling, Time Warps, and Robot BrothelsREBROADCASTWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell, along with special guests Sean Oliver and Drew Leatham of Third Productions, as they navigate the wonderfully bonkers 1984 sci-fi comedy Ice Pirates. In a galaxy where water is the most precious commodity, space pirates raid Templar ships, stumble upon a princess in a smoke chamber, and embark on a quest involving castration conveyor belts, unicorn-riding Amazons, and a climactic time warp that ages everyone decades in minutes. This movie has everything—and we mean everything.The crew dives deep into what makes Ice Pirates such a hidden gem of '80s cinema. Despite its slashed budget (down from $20 million to $8 million, forcing a rewrite as a comedy), the film delivers genuine laughs, impressive practical effects, and surprisingly likeable characters. Robert Urich charms as the roguish lead, while Anjelica Huston and Ron Perlman steal scenes as memorable supporting pirates. The group marvels at the film's commitment to its bits—from adorable space prairie dogs to baby donkeys that pay off brilliantly in the finale. They also grapple with the movie's confusing villain structure (or lack thereof), casual '80s-era problematic moments, and a sex scene set to a slideshow called "Passion Storm" that somehow involves wasting precious water during coitus.What emerges is a consensus: Ice Pirates rates around five or six robots-shitting-themselves when watched alone, but jumps to a solid eight when experienced with friends. It's the perfect midnight screening movie—campy, ambitious, and genuinely funny rather than just laughably bad. The practical effects hold up remarkably well, the comedy lands more often than not, and the time warp sequence remains an absolute highlight of creative chaos. Sean and Drew even share the wild story of their high school's stage adaptation of the film, complete with castration scenes and Mad Max sequences somehow translated to theater.Additional Highlights:The movie features pre-LED lighting with hundreds of tiny heated bulbs on the robot designs—a fire hazard waiting to happenBruce Vilanch makes a bizarre cameo on an Amazon planet, and nobody knows whyThe "redesign" process (castration and lobotomization) includes an oddly satisfying conveyor belt sequence with enthusiastic workersRobert Urich bears an uncanny resemblance to Bill Hader, leading to mental deep-faking throughout the viewingThe film ends abruptly upon finding Earth, leaving questions about legitimate trade routes versus creating the biggest water black market everThe hosts conclude that more people need to know about Ice Pirates—it's a genuinely ambitious effort that deserves cult classic status beyond obscure VHS shelves. Deep cut recommendations include Time Bandits, Flash Gordon (1980), and Nathan's web series Voyage Trekkers.Want more Most Excellent 80s Movies? Head to TruStory.fm to explore the full network.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay cut off early from work so they can get high and watch "Flash Gordon" on repeat before talking about "Ted." Bombay starts things off by recalling the night he saw this during its theatrical run, where he snuck in booze and wound up getting too wasted. Then the boys discuss a comedy that was a juggernaut at the box office, and has become unsung among the stoner comedy pantheon. A film that is preposterous on paper, but somehow works with a slacker weed smoker and his best friend talking teddy bear. Even though he had shown flourishes, this is Mark Wahlberg flashing his comedic chops that includes his rapid fire trailer trash name scene, and an unforgettable fight scene with his stuffed buddy. The ever reliable Mila Kunis provides the straight roll, while a cast of characters fill out the co-stars including a very smarmy Joel McHale, and an overly-committed turn from Giovanni Ribisi — who would later become instrumental in the world of cinema for his behind the camera work. Grab your favorite stuffed animal, pack a huge bowl, and toss the episode on. 

We open the door to the underexplained corners of Nerd and Geek culture—where a driveway TARDIS keeps you warm at the bus stop, Flash Gordon becomes a friendship hinge, and debates about whether Star Wars is science fiction or fantasy spark better ways to watch everything else.This is a brief note from Podfest in Orlando earlier this year.

RIP Gil Gerard. A New York cab, a day job in drama class, and a shot at the 25th century: that's the unlikely runway that launched Gil Gerard into Buck Rogers, and it still glows with neon charm. We open the vault on Gerard's early grind through commercials, soaps, and 70s disaster flicks, then follow the thread back to Buck's pulp origins in newspapers, radio waves, and the 1939 serials that taught America to love ray guns, zeppelins, and cliffhangers. It's a fast, affectionate tour of the DNA that links John Carter's planetary romance, Flash Gordon's space opera, and Lucas-era spectacle, all converging in a TV series that dared to mix swagger with sincere camp.

Greg Egan’s work exemplifies a certain kind of “hard” science fiction: not that it’s obsessed with big manly space battles, but rather that it’s using science to really dig into some complicated subjects.

Send us a textWhat classic sci-fi space opera was both an inspiration for and later inspired by Star Wars? Flash Gordon of course! This week we return with a discussion of what is likely to be one of the only properties to have contributed to the creation of George Lucas' masterwork that would then go on to inspire a film version of Flash Gordon! We discuss the 1980 film with its warts, camp, Queen, horniness and all. It all rhymes, like poetry. Right, George?

Something a bit different this time, as i've taken an old interview i did with Martin Bower and trimmed it down to some additional insights he had on his time on Alien, and a little bit on Flash Gordon.

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's lesson is simple: cosmic horror, but with punchable Nazis. If classic Call of Cthulhu is about fragile academics discovering forbidden truths and immediately dying, Pulp Cthulhu is about kicking down the door, firing a shotgun at an elder god, and saying, "That all you got?" This episode is about concepts, themes, and vibes—the part of the game where sanity is optional, luck is currency, and surviving certain death might involve parachuting into a hot-air balloon you didn't know was there. Grab your fedora. We're going full pulp. Show Notes What Is Pulp Cthulhu? Pulp Cthulhu is a fully compatible variant of Call of Cthulhu that dials the game from existential despair to high-octane pulp adventure. Characters are tougher, more competent, and far more likely to survive long enough to matter. If Call of Cthulhu is The Thing or Evil Dead, Pulp Cthulhu is The Mummy, Army of Darkness, or Indiana Jones with eldritch nightmares.  Core Themes & Tone Heroic pulp action instead of grim cosmic inevitability Investigators who can take multiple hits and keep fighting A lighter, often comedic tone without abandoning horror Quips, gadgets, globe-trotting, and cinematic set pieces This makes Pulp Cthulhu an excellent transition for players coming from Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or other heroic tabletop RPGs. Setting & Genre Shift Time period: 1930s, just before World War II Scope: Global adventures—London, Cairo, jungles, ruins, secret bases Enemies: Cultists, mythos horrors… and a suspicious number of Nazis The game leans hard into classic pulp tropes: secret societies, forbidden relics, occult conspiracies, and globe-spanning races against evil. Core Mechanics D100 roll-under system with degrees of success Regular, Hard, and Extreme successes replace DCs Fumbles and pushed rolls create escalating consequences Skills improve when you fail them during advancement These mechanics reward specialization while keeping tension high, even for highly skilled characters. What Makes Pulp Cthulhu Different? Archetypes Two-Fisted Hero, Hard-Boiled Detective, Mystic, Mad Scientist, Femme Fatale, and more Each archetype boosts a core characteristic and grants bonus skills Talents Passive and active abilities that enhance combat, investigation, or survivability Categories include Physical, Mental, Combat, and Weird Science Hit Points Roughly double standard Call of Cthulhu HP Still deadly—just less instantly fatal Luck as a Meta-Currency Spend luck to: Cancel fumbles Reduce damage Stay conscious Cheat death entirely (with a suitably ridiculous explanation) Luck regenerates every session, encouraging aggressive use Insanity, Magic, and Weird Science Insane Talents can grant powerful abilities with narrative drawbacks Magic is faster to learn but still dangerous and unpredictable Psychic powers like telekinesis and clairvoyance are viable builds Weird Science introduces death rays, jetpacks, ghost detectors, and other Flash-Gordon-adjacent nonsense Yes, you can build a psychic mind-wizard or a mad scientist with a death ray. The game actively wants you to try. The Pulp Meter The game supports multiple pulp levels: Low Pulp: Almost classic Call of Cthulhu Mid Pulp: Standard Pulp Cthulhu rules High Pulp: Extra talents, cinematic survivability, full nonsense This episode sets the stage for going high pulp in future sessions Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu trades hopeless cosmic horror for heroic pulp survival Characters are tougher, more competent, and more fun to invest in Luck is a central mechanic that fuels cinematic storytelling The 1930s setting enables globe-trotting, occult conspiracies, and pulp villains Perfect for groups who want action, investigation, and horror without constant character death If you've ever wanted to punch Cthulhu—or at least shoot near him—this is your game Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

THUNDER BUDDIES FOR LIFE!! Ted Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Start your online business with a $1 per-month trial when you visit https://www.shopify.com/rejects! Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 With Season 2 of Peacock's TED Series coming this March +, the success of 2025's The Naked Gun, Greg, John, & Jon give their TED (2012) Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, Commentary, & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba, John Humphrey, & Jon Maturan react to Ted (2012), the outrageous R-rated comedy from creator Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad!) that became a massive pop-culture hit by blending raunchy humor with surprisingly heartfelt themes about growing up. Equal parts bromance and fairy-tale gone wrong, Ted pushes the limits of studio comedy while delivering endlessly quotable moments. The film centers on John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg – The Departed, The Fighter), a man-child struggling to transition into adulthood while remaining inseparable from his childhood wish come true: Ted, the foul-mouthed, beer-loving teddy bear voiced by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, A Million Ways to Die in the West). John's arrested development puts strain on his relationship with Lori Collins (Mila Kunis – Black Swan, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), who wants a more responsible partner and grows increasingly fed up with Ted's influence. The supporting cast includes Giovanni Ribisi (Avatar, Saving Private Ryan) as the obsessive and unhinged Donny, whose fixation on Ted escalates into the film's wild third act, and Joel McHale (Community, The Bear) as Lori's smug boss Rex. Iconic and highly searched moments include Ted's viral Flash Gordon obsession and Sam Jones cameo, the infamous Thunder Buddies musical number, the Boston bar brawls, and the chaotic kidnapping finale that cements Ted's place in comedy history. With shock-value jokes, unexpected heart, and MacFarlane's signature comedic timing, Ted stands as a surprisingly strong feature film debut from one of TV Animation's most prominent forces.

Parties fall apart when they rely on luck. We turn the chaos of a live office bash into a step‑by‑step blueprint for a New Year celebration that feels immersive, welcoming, and unmistakably geeky. From the moment guests walk in, we want the room to communicate: you belong here, you're taken care of, and you're about to have fun.We start with atmosphere, the most underrated tool a host has. Think layered lighting, a soundtrack that grooves without demanding attention, and bold visuals running silently in the background. Zardoz, Barbarella, and Flash Gordon become moving artwork that sparks conversation without hijacking the night. Then we get tactical with decor: banners and papercraft that nod to fandom while staying legible, table tents that map the room, and labels that make allergens and ingredients obvious at a glance.Food is designed for the way people actually party. We veto the fussy cookbook relics and replace them with finger‑friendly hits: shaped pizzas and fruit platters that double as set pieces, roasted‑corn salads for color and crunch, and treats that echo beloved worlds without requiring a fork. Drinks get the same treatment. We batch signature cocktails into shareable punches—think Tranya and Warp Core Breach—and give non‑drinkers parity with zero‑proof options served in real glassware. Everyone gets a great glass, a quick pour, and a reason to linger.To lock in a moment people will talk about, we time Avengers Infinity War so midnight lands exactly on Thor's arrival or the Snap. It's a simple sync that transforms a countdown into a shared story beat. By the end, you'll have a plan for atmosphere, inclusive menus, efficient bar flow, music that moves the edges of the room, and visuals that keep curiosity alive. If this guide helps you throw a party your friends won't forget, follow the show, share it with your crew, and drop a review telling us which midnight cue you chose—Thor or the Snap?

This week on the Action Movie Guys Podcast, Alex and Nate revisit the colorful, over-the-top sci-fi classic Flash Gordon (1980), while Evan experiences it for the very first time.From Queen's iconic soundtrack to the bold visuals, campy performances, and pure '80s sci-fi energy, the crew breaks down why this film has remained a cult favorite for decades. Does it still charm on a rewatch, and how does it land for a first-time viewer? Tune in for laughs, nostalgia, and plenty of love for this gloriously cheesy adventure.

This week in the last video store near you The Admirable Admiral and But Maestro get together in the break room to discuss Flash Gordon from 1980.

A new talk with writer Jeremy Adams — digging into his personal takes on Flash Gordon, Green Lantern, and Aquaman, and what draws him to (and challenges him about) each iconic mythos. They get into how classic pulp energy, cosmic storytelling, and sea-soaked adventure inform his creative instincts, and how those sensibilities show up in his work.Jeremy also breaks down his upcoming animated adaptation of Batman: Knightfall — what he's focusing on, how he's handling Bane's legacy, and what fans can expect from this fresh take on a brutal chapter of the Dark Knight's history.Plus Jeremy shares stories from DC's KO event — what it was like to contribute to a universe-shaking crossover, the narrative choices that mattered most to him, and the behind-the-scenes moments fans haven't heard before. The epic matchup of Aquman Vs Hawkman, and the upcoming, The Kids Are All fight with many of the new sidekick heroes facing eacch other. 

He'll Save Every One Of Us....Yes it's the story of Flash Gordon (Sam Jones), the fictitious quarterback of the New York Jets who inadverdently travels into deep space with intrepid travel agent Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) and crazy-but-misunderstood scientest Dr. Hans Zarkov).  They land on the mysterious planet of Mongo which is ruled by the vicious Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) who intends to destroy Earth. :o And together, they embark on a crazy sci-fi adventure to try to save their home planet while also encountering various local leaders who may OR may not be able to help them including Prince Barin (Timothy Dalton), Princess Aura (Ornella Muti), and the boisterous Prince Vultan (Brian Blessed).  Forty-five years ago, this comic book adaptation was released into theaters with much fanfare by famous producer Dino DeLaurentis (Serpico, Blue Velvet, Conan the Barbarian, Hannibal) who was hoping that this big budget enterprise would duplicate the success of Star Wars which had come out just three years prior.  Disappointingly, the film received weak box office and weak reviews upon initial release but eventually would grow to be a beloved cult classic on cable and video.....with much of its success due to a slam-bang soundtrack by the band Queen!  And now its legacy lives on very much due to some VERY catchy music featured throughout including the now iconic main theme song perfomed by the band.  Directed by the late, great Mike Hodges (Get Carter, Croupier), it's time to head back to Ming City on our rocket cycle and.......DIIIIIIVE!!!!!Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

The American fascination with spaceflight and what we might find out there began long before any human left Earth. It’s Dr. Margaret Weitekamp’s job to collect, document, and preserve the cultural artifacts that display our deep attraction to all things spacey. Her book, Space Craze, explores how these objects, ranging from 1930s Flash Gordon ray guns to Mercury space capsule cookie jars, have represented our Earthbound fears and hopes. She joined the Society’s space-crazed Mat Kaplan for a live and lively conversation.
