Make Cazarre enchaîné great again de 16h30 à 17h30 en direct du Flora Caffé avec Julien Cazarre & Jean-Christophe Drouet.
We are the choices we make. Good guy? Bad guy? We decide that every day until our last day. On this week's podcast, we're exploring how heroism and villainism mingle in Lavender Jack, the pulp adventure from cartoonist Dan Schkade. We're considering when to swim with society and when to swim against it, and how comic book vigilante justice too often forgets its own messaging. Lavender Jack, originally published on Webtoon, is where Schkade cracked the comic strip medium, preparing him to take over Flash Gordon, where he now lives daily. We discuss why these pulp adventurers appeal so profoundly to him, and how their tales can be told with a contemporary bite. It's the perfect discussion to prepare us for next week's plunge into San Diego Comic-Con, where we'll be moderating three panels and attempting to interview all the comic book celebrity guests. We're in plug-goblin-mode during the intro, barely containing our excitement for the year's biggest comic book event. If you thought our July 2026 coverage was already intense, oh boy, strap in. Lavender Jack is written, illustrated, and lettered by Dan Schkade. It's colored by Jenn Manley Lee. Volume One is currently available from Dark Horse Comics, and you can expect Volume 2 on September 29th. Make sure you're following Dan Schkade on Instagram and Bluesky.

Read transcriptIn 1986, King Features looked at its stable of unrelated newspaper strip heroes and decided the responsible thing to do was throw them all in a blender. Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician, and the Phantom. A spaceman, a stage hypnotist, and a guy who lives in a skull-shaped cave and inherited his job from his dad got drafted into a single Saturday morning cartoon called Defenders of the Earth on the apparent theory that if the Avengers could do a team-up, so could three guys who had never met before that year and shared nothing except a syndicate contract. Then, because nothing from the '80s was allowed to stay just a cartoon, Defenders of the Earth became a video game in 1990, courtesy of Enigma Variations, for the exact kind of home computer that made you type a magic incantation and wait: Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Amiga, and, for the three people on Earth who owned one, the SAM Coupé. You play Flash, sneaking through Ming's castle dodging security cameras, occasionally calling in Mandrake or the Phantom to open doors, because apparently that's what magic and jungle-honed strength were for in these days. Helping make sense of this glorious pile of licensed heroes is Ryan Estrada, who's written comics for Star Trek, Popeye, Garfield, and, fittingly, Flash Gordon itself, having contributed to Papercutz's newer Flash Gordon Adventures line. Ryan's also built a reputation for tucking real hidden puzzles and messages directly into his comic pages, in plain sight, daring anyone paying close enough attention to find them. Which feels like exactly the right skillset for an episode about a security system that apparently only a few specific comic strip disciplines can defeat. So track down a joystick you no longer own, adjust to a universe where Flash Gordon answers to a management structure that includes a professional hypnotist, and let's find out whether the Defenders of the Earth earned their game, or whether Earth would've been just fine handling Ming on its own. Learn such things as: Is it really a team game if you only get to play as one member? Why should you learn another language that uses a different alphabet? What are some of the special rules with making licenses comics? And so much more! You can find everything you could ever want to know about Ryan on RyanEstrada.com.

I was a Flash Gordon freak when I was a kid. Now, you probably have led a deprived life and you may be saying, “Flash who?” Let me bring you up-to-date. Flash Gordon was an inter-galactic hero that was made famous in a serialized movie that I think might have been filmed way back in the 1930s. No, I did not see it when it first came out! But it kept going on and on and on forever. I think you might still be able to find it sometimes on late night TV. Every episode ended with Flash Gordon in a jam, and he was always ready to be destroyed by some space monster or death ray. And you were sure there was no way Flash was going to get out of this one. There always was. He always did, and there is always a way out for you and me, too, if you're working for the right director. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Rescued Again and Again.” Now, you probably have a life full of close calls, just like old Flash Gordon. Except his were on movies and yours and mine are for real. There's a man who had a life full of close calls in the Bible – the Apostle Paul. He talks about them in our word for today from the Word of God, 2 Timothy 3:11 he says, “You know the persecutions and sufferings and what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured.” But listen to this, “Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.” Now, I have kind of a convoluted mind (you know that already), because as soon as I read that verse, I think of Flash Gordon. No, he's not in the Bible, and I know I've got a mental problem. I can't help that, but I remember that he was always rescued out of every close call. That's the bottom line for every child of God. He will sometimes let you go to the edge. It may look like there's no way out, but He will never let you go over the edge. “But the Lord rescued me out of them all.” You can say that, and so can I. It's not that it hasn't been close sometimes, but just look at the exciting episodes from your past; the time that the money ran out, or your friends ran out, or your family ran out, or your strength ran out. Maybe you've been so lonely at times in the past you couldn't stand it, or frustrated because every door seemed to slam shut in your face. There were these people that you had depended on, and they were suddenly gone. Or maybe you're hopelessly buried in work and responsibility and stress. And you say, “I'll never get out of this mess!” You've been to the edge of desperation, but remember the Lord rescued you out of them all. Maybe you're in a perilous or a painful place again. This time it looks like there is no way out of this, but then it's looked like that before at the end of other episodes and you're still here. Get some perspective. Stand back. Remember a lifetime of the Lord rescuing you. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out..." He will let you have heavy loads, but never more than you can handle. Jesus is, after all, your Savior. He can save you from this comparatively small crisis. He'll change the situation or He'll enlarge you to deal with the situation. But one way or the other, your Savior will rescue you. Look, He always has. Now, Flash Gordon, my old hero, got in big trouble – some big jams, a lot of close calls – so will you. But Flash Gordon always got rescued, and so will you. The God of the universe is writing your script and the God of the universe is producing your future.

We went to see Masters of the Universe, the latest toy-turned-into-a-movie, and honestly had a good time, better than we expected. We briefly compare it to the 1987 film (see episode 79), as well as Flash Gordon, Arthurian romance, and more. Starring Nicholas Galitzine, Jared Leto, Camila Mendes, Idris Elba, and Alison Brie. Directed by Travis Knight.
June is Color Rush month. Its colors in the movie title because why not. Red Sonja on account of her red hair. This is like Flash Gordon level. Its so bad but kind of good.

What is "Camp"? In 1964, literary critic Susan Sontag investigated this question in her culture-defining essay "Notes on Camp". We discuss how the concept of Camp applies to Eurovision, other forms of pop culture, and our day-to-day lives.
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.

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.

We have two episodes coming to you in audio form from our April livestream and here is the first!! Billy Z, Steve and Caleb got together in the middle of the month to discuss new books and it was an even split: half DC and half Indie! First from the house of Superman and Batman, we have the Mad About DC one shot, where some of the biggest names in comics take on DC characters and concepts a la Mad Magazine! We also talk about Batwoman #1, the new series feauring Kate Kane written by her co-creator Greg Rucka with art by DaNi! Rounding out the trio of DC books, we have a book about a trio: Detective Comics #1107 by Tom Taylor and Pete Woods which is the start of an arc teaming up Batman, Green Arrow and Black Canary! Then we switch over to the independent side - first with Red Book #1 from Dark Horse, a companion series to Blue Book by James Tynion IV and Michael Avon Oeming crafted by the same creative team examining UFO sightings throughout history in Russia and China! We then shift our sights onto Defenders of the Earth, a reboot of the 80s cartoon and toy line which brings together the most famous King Features heroes - Flash Gordon, Mandrake, Lothar and The Phantom courtesy of Dan DiDio and James Calafiore. And lastly from new publisher Ignition Comics we chat about the first issue of Dennis Hopeless and Brahm Revel's Just Brutal, a kinetic yet chaotic blend of sorcery and family dynamics!! This is a loaded two-hour melting pot of a funny book fondue so hit play and enjoy!
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.
Flash Gordon returns, Darth Maul lurks in the background, Bill Schweigart talks Dirty 20, and we head into Euro-comics territory with Blake and Mortimer: The Secret of the Swordfish—great airplanes, dated politics, and a lot of weekly-serial energy.

But when he's offered a job training the next generation of explorers, he'll end up fighting for top gun!

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!

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.
This week, we are joined by Scott Weinberg (@weinbergs.bsky.social), the host of the Overhated Podcast, to discuss one of his favorite cult classics, the 1980 adaptation of Flash Gordon.

Send us a textWhat classic sci-fi space opera was both an inspiration for and later inspired by Star Wars? Flash Gordon of course!
