We return to our rundown of Flash Gordon, just as Flash and Prince Barin are being taken to the Hawkmen's planet to fight to the death!Flash Gordon was directed by Mike Hodges, the British filmmaker behind Get Carter and Pulp, and produced by the legendary Dino De Laurentiis. Based on the King Features comic strip created by Alex Raymond, the film stars Sam J. Jones as the all-American hero Flash, Melody Anderson as Dale Arden, Ornella Muti as the dangerous Princess Aura, Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless, and Topol as the eccentric scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. The supporting cast includes Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde, Peter Duncan and John Hallam — a line-up that reads like a who's who of cult cinema.We dig into the incredible production history of Flash Gordon, from De Laurentiis' first attempts in the 1960s to his decision to turn down George Lucas — a choice that helped inspire Star Wars. The film's troubled development included a scrapped version by Nicolas Roeg, with Debbie Harry once rumoured to play Princess Aura. Eventually, Hodges took the reins, working from a screenplay by Lorenzo Semple Jr., the same writer who brought Batman's colourful POW! ZAP! style to TV in the 1960s. That influence is clear throughout, giving Flash Gordon its unmistakable comic-book tone.The film was shot mainly at Elstree and Shepperton Studios, pushing British set design and visual effects to the limit. For the famous Hawkmen sequence, the crew built a sixty-foot-high, hundred-foot-wide blue screen powered by a million watts of light. The result is one of the most gloriously excessive moments in sci-fi history — a flying army, Brian Blessed shouting “Gordon's alive!” and Queen blasting through the speakers.Speaking of Queen, we explore how their soundtrack revolutionised film music, paving the way for rock bands to score major blockbusters. The combination of Freddie Mercury's operatic flair and Howard Blake's orchestral compositions gave Flash Gordon a sonic identity that still feels fresh today.We also look at the film's eclectic cast. Sam J. Jones' brief but memorable career, Melody Anderson's move from acting to social work, and Ornella Muti's headline-grabbing life and legal troubles. There's Max von Sydow's path from The Seventh Seal to The Exorcist and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Topol's secret links to Mossad, Timothy Dalton's long and winding journey to becoming James Bond, and Peter Wyngarde's transformation from Department S to the gold-masked villain Klytus.And, of course, the mighty Brian Blessed — mountaineer, Shakespearean thunder-god, near-astronaut, and national treasure. From I, Claudius to Doctor Who, Cats, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and beyond, he's one of Britain's most extraordinary performers.In this episode, we unpack the layers of Flash Gordon as both cult classic and chaotic masterpiece: how its bright visuals masked a difficult shoot, how its camp sensibility influenced generations of filmmakers, and why it remains a cornerstone of British sci-fi fandom. Whether you're here for trivia, nostalgia, or the Queen soundtrack alone, this is one of our most detailed episodes yet — and we'll be back next week with part two to finish the adventure.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast

50 years ago, history was made as Jaws was released to theaters and took the first of a few steps (George Lucas would do the same thing a couple years later with a little space movie you might have heard of) in changing the way cinema was made and marketed to the masses. An argument can be made -and is made on this podcast- that 26 year old director Steven Spielberg got a lifetime mulligan in his career with completing the 1975 blockbuster to the masses. How else can you explain him being allowed to direct again after the release of 2004's The Terminal? But boy was it difficult getting there. Listen to this long awaited, near two hour Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as Garrett, Matt, and Adam go over everything that went into the infamously difficult shooting of Jaws, as well as review scene by scene one of movie history's most important films.

I slut 70'erne vendte George Lucas tilbage til Star Wars-universet med en ambition om at udvide det og nuancere fortællingen. Lucas var ikke helt tilfreds med episode IV og ønskede at udbygge den verden, han havde skabt. Lucas inviterede Irvin Kershner i instruktørstolen og skabte ligeledes et manushold bestående af ham selv, Leigh Brackett og Lawrence Kasdan. Lucas var derfor ikke længere alene om projektet og nye kræfter havde nu mulighed for at sætte et aftryk på projektet. Hvilket skulle vise sig at være et klogt træk.

TVC 712.3: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Joseph Dougherty, Tony Figueroa, and Dan Farren about some of our favorite local TV horror movie hosts from the 1960s and '70s. This segment particularly focuses on Bob Wilkins, the erudite host of Creature Features on KTVU Channel 2 (Oakland-San Francisco) who was known for his trademark cigar, horn rim glasses, and the catchphrase "Keep America Strong. Watch Horror Movies." Unlike most other local TV horror movie hosts, Wilkins never dressed up as a zany character on Creature Features, but instead kept the viewers tuned in every week by bringing them long-form interviews with the likes of George Lucas, Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, Vincent Price, and Christopher Lee in between movie segments. Wilkins was also the first to air Night of the Living Dead on local television.

News reports this October showed a surge in Bible sales across the United States and the UK, confirming what so many people can feel and polls have supported…which is that a religious revival is happening in the West. Generation Z, which Pew Research defines as being born between 1997 and 2012. Members of the generation — also known as Zoomers — have been increasingly drawn toward religion, particularly Christianity, with data showing the number of Americans who don't identify with one particular church is stabilizing thanks to them.Fact: Overall, younger generations are more spiritually curious. Barna research group reports that most Gen Z teens are interested in learning more about Jesus, with younger cohorts leading the way in the growth of new commitments.This was what George Lucas wished for with Star Wars. He sought to awaken spirituality in young people back in the 1970s….which didn't take right away. One has to wonder if there a delayed effect of stories like Star WarsBy in large, I believe the youth spiritual revival is a byproduct of “divorce culture” driven by Baby Boomers throughout the 1980s-2010s. Young people rebel against what older folks are doing, and it is not true to say that our elders are somehow rigid traditionalists and papist scolds. Most Boomers are in their second or third marriage, leaving the church as a result (feeling of shame) and experiencing a rapid decrease in their religiosity. There does come a point at which kids will notice the decisions they made, and do the opposite. And funny enough, that is now church and marriage. Geeky Stoics is a reader-supported publication.

Con un reparto encabezado por Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, Taylour Paige y James Remar, la producción mantiene el tono inquietante y melancólico de la saga cinematográfica, pero introduce una mirada más coral, centrada en los vecinos del pequeño pueblo de Maine y en cómo sus secretos, miedos y prejuicios van dando forma al monstruo que todos llevan dentro. Min 11: EL MISTERIO DE CEMETERY ROAD (APPLE TV) 4 estrellas Basada en la novela de Greg Iles, El misterio de Cemetery Road llega a Apple TV+ como un potente thriller sureño protagonizado por Emma Thompson, que ofrece una de sus interpretaciones más intensas y contenidas de los últimos años. La actriz británica encarna a Maggie McEwan, una periodista que regresa a su ciudad natal de Bienville, Misisipi, tras la muerte de su padre, y se ve arrastrada a una trama de corrupción, secretos familiares y heridas nunca cerradas. Lo que empieza como un regreso íntimo se transforma en una investigación que desentierra la podredumbre de una comunidad marcada por los silencios, las lealtades rotas y un crimen que amenaza con resquebrajar los cimientos del poder local. Min 17: STAR WARS VISION 3 (DISNEY) 3,5 estrellas Con su tercer volumen, Star Wars: Visions confirma que el universo galáctico creado por George Lucas puede reinventarse sin límites. Esta nueva antología producida por Lucasfilm vuelve a reunir a estudios de animación de todo el mundo —entre ellos varios españoles y latinoamericanos— para reinterpretar la Fuerza, los Jedi y el Lado Oscuro desde prismas culturales y estéticos radicalmente distintos. Cada episodio funciona como un pequeño cortometraje independiente, una cápsula de autor que combina la herencia mítica de la saga con nuevas sensibilidades visuales, musicales y filosóficas. En esta tercera entrega, la diversidad narrativa alcanza su punto más alto: desde el anime introspectivo hasta la animación experimental europea, pasando por la plasticidad del stop-motion o el dinamismo del cómic digital, todo se conjuga bajo un mismo lema creativo: expandir el mito sin traicionar su espíritu. Min 23: THE WITCHER 4 (NETFLIX) 2 estrellas Con su cuarta temporada, The Witcher afronta el reto de reinventarse sin perder identidad. Tras la marcha de Henry Cavill, el papel de Geralt de Rivia recae ahora en Liam Hemsworth, que asume el testigo con un tono más introspectivo y vulnerable, sin renunciar al magnetismo físico del brujo cazador de monstruos. La nueva entrega, desarrollada por Lauren Schmidt Hissrich para Netflix, adapta los tramos iniciales de La Torre de la Golondrina y La Dama del Lago, continuando la odisea de Ciri (Freya Allan) y Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) en un continente fracturado por la guerra y la magia. En esta etapa, la serie se aleja parcialmente de la épica fragmentada de los inicios para abrazar un tono más oscuro y político, donde el destino de Ciri se convierte en eje central de un conflicto que desborda lo humano y lo mítico. Min 29: BSO: SOLO ASESINATOS EN EL EDIFCIO 5 (4 estrellas) En su quinta temporada, Solo asesinatos en el edificio vuelve a demostrar que el humor, el misterio y la música pueden convivir en perfecta armonía. La banda sonora, firmada nuevamente por Siddhartha Khosla, consolida la identidad sonora más reconocible de la serie: una mezcla de jazz sofisticado, melodías de cámara y ligeros guiños al noir clásico que acompañan a Charles, Oliver y Mabel en sus nuevas pesquisas criminales dentro del edificio Arconia. Khosla, fiel a su estilo elegante y juguetón, construye un universo musical donde cada motivo temático refleja la dinámica del trío protagonista y el tono entre irónico y melancólico que define a la serie.

In this week's episode we advance to Chapters 3 and 4 of Liber ARARITA, a class A holy book from the religion of Thelema prepared by Aleister Crowley to explain the unexplainable with overengineered religious poetry intended to be paired traditionally with camels and butt sex in the Algerian Desert. While Chapter 3 deals with the quintessential energies on the Tree of Life in their most balanced and recognizable form - Chapter 4 deals with the psychedelic vision of stepping into this wisdom matrix from the first person perspective. In the free side of the show we get carried away exploring the occult meaning of the Hebrew letters Aleph and Resh (the letters that correspond to the chapters we've read so far) and what profound meaning they have when placed together.

Sorry this one's a bit late — but to make up for it, we've gone all in with an extra-long episode of General Witchfinders, split into two parts. This week, we take you through the extraordinary, over-the-top world of Flash Gordon (1980) — the space opera superhero film that blended camp comedy, science-fiction spectacle, and Queen's iconic soundtrack into something truly cosmic. The second half of this intergalactic adventure will land next week. Flash Gordon was directed by Mike Hodges, the British filmmaker behind Get Carter and Pulp, and produced by the legendary Dino De Laurentiis. Based on the King Features comic strip created by Alex Raymond, the film stars Sam J. Jones as the all-American hero Flash, Melody Anderson as Dale Arden, Ornella Muti as the dangerous Princess Aura, Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless, and Topol as the eccentric scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. The supporting cast includes Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde, Peter Duncan and John Hallam — a line-up that reads like a who's who of cult cinema. We dig into the incredible production history of Flash Gordon, from De Laurentiis' first attempts in the 1960s to his decision to turn down George Lucas — a choice that helped inspire Star Wars. The film's troubled development included a scrapped version by Nicolas Roeg, with Debbie Harry once rumoured to play Princess Aura. Eventually, Hodges took the reins, working from a screenplay by Lorenzo Semple Jr., the same writer who brought Batman's colourful POW! ZAP! style to TV in the 1960s. That influence is clear throughout, giving Flash Gordon its unmistakable comic-book tone. The film was shot mainly at Elstree and Shepperton Studios, pushing British set design and visual effects to the limit. For the famous Hawkmen sequence, the crew built a sixty-foot-high, hundred-foot-wide blue screen powered by a million watts of light. The result is one of the most gloriously excessive moments in sci-fi history — a flying army, Brian Blessed shouting “Gordon's alive!” and Queen blasting through the speakers. Speaking of Queen, we explore how their soundtrack revolutionised film music, paving the way for rock bands to score major blockbusters. The combination of Freddie Mercury's operatic flair and Howard Blake's orchestral compositions gave Flash Gordon a sonic identity that still feels fresh today.We also look at the film's eclectic cast. Sam J. Jones' brief but memorable career, Melody Anderson's move from acting to social work, and Ornella Muti's headline-grabbing life and legal troubles. There's Max von Sydow's path from The Seventh Seal to The Exorcist and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Topol's secret links to Mossad, Timothy Dalton's long and winding journey to becoming James Bond, and Peter Wyngarde's transformation from Department S to the gold-masked villain Klytus.And, of course, the mighty Brian Blessed — mountaineer, Shakespearean thunder-god, near-astronaut, and national treasure. From I, Claudius to Doctor Who, Cats, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and beyond, he's one of Britain's most extraordinary performers. In this episode, we unpack the layers of Flash Gordon as both cult classic and chaotic masterpiece: how its bright visuals masked a difficult shoot, how its camp sensibility influenced generations of filmmakers, and why it remains a cornerstone of British sci-fi fandom. Whether you're here for trivia, nostalgia, or the Queen soundtrack alone, this is one of our most detailed episodes yet — and we'll be back next week with part two to finish the adventure.

“Do ghosts ask for prayers?” This episode delves into the intriguing question of whether ghosts, potentially souls from purgatory, seek Masses for their peace. Additionally, we explore why God might allow hauntings that seem like repetitive imprints, the moral implications of workplace automation, and the fascinating intersection of Catholic themes in the Star Wars universe. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:32 – If Ghosts may be souls from purgatory whom God has permitted for a particular reason to appear and interact with the living. Why don’t all ghosts ask for Masses to be said for them? 14:45 – Why, in your opinion, would God allow hauntings which act as a non-interactive recording or psychic imprint, which seem to repeat over and over again in the same place, and may even be left by people who are still alive (as opposed to singularly unique and interactive apparitions of the dead)? 21:23 – What are the moral implications of using new technologies in the workplace, knowing that it could lead to other positions becoming obsolete and other employees being laid off? Example: Someone needs to use AI or other forms of automation to meet the requirements for their job, but too much success could convince a CEO to completely replace another human's position with technology 32:20 – Does the phenomenon of dead bodies being incorruptible only happen to saints, or does it happen to non-Catholics as well? 34:18 – Can you explore Catholic themes and spirituality in the Star Wars universe? The chosen one, the Force, jedi order, symbolism, sacrifice of Vader, redemption, etc. I know George Lucas is hardly Catholic, but perhaps he unwittingly drew on the things found in the largest entity in the universe…the Catholic Church. Thanks, and may the Force be with you! 43:15 – Are mine and my husband's guardian angels friends? Is my guardian angel friends with my children's angels? Or is my angel like a mentor to my children's angels? 48:10 – If one’s guardian angel were asked to console Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, would the angel be allowed to do it?

We've been looking forward to experiencing Universal Orlando's brand-new Epic Universe: Dark Universe for well over a year, and finally we made it! Walking through the fog into Darkmoor Village felt like stepping inside a classic monster movie. We rode Curse of the Werewolf and were blown away by Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment. There's a reason all the vloggers keep praising this attraction. We also share our thoughts on food, merchandise, characters, and atmosphere. Meeting the NEW Bride and Frankenstein in person was the perfect ending to an unforgettable visit. Next, we joined our friend Tati Perez for a wet and wild time at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando, where ten haunted mazes awaited us—and nonstop Florida rain. But hey - it's a story! We each share our Top 3 horror mazes. Five Nights at Freddy's topped our list with its creepy animatronics, while others impressed with their artistic environments. Between mazes, we wandered through eerie “Scare Zones” like The Cat Lady of Crooked Lane, where trick-or-treaters slowly turned into feral cats under glowing jack-o'-lanterns. What's not to love about spooky season!! There are 4 other “lands” or “portals' at Epic Universe, but to keep to our Halloween theme, we focued on Dark Universe in this episode.

Many filmmakers are known for small signatures that they always put inside their films. Alfred Hitchcock always used himself in a cameo. George Lucas always found a way to integrate the number 1138. Quentin Tarrentio almost always mentions the fictional "Big Kahuna Burger." And Stan Lee, of course, has found his way into every Marvel Movie. However, there is one film signature that is shared by a wide range of movie makers and has appeared in hundreds of films. You've probably come across it even if you didn't realize it.
