Ben from Creepy Acres is back for another hunt for a medieval beast, the Roc. This giant eagle is the stuff of Harryhausen flicks and terrifying legends.

When it comes to the history of everyone's favorite giant lizard, we can't forget about the film that helped inspire it. That film is 1953's THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS. When it comes to post war, giant atomic made creature wrecking havoc on a large city, the Rhedasaurus did it first. From the amazing stop motion work of legendary artist Ray Harryhausen, BEAST came alive, and helped create the 70 years of Godzilla iconic history.

One part Evil Dead, one part Michigan, two parts chili. An insane independent film starring the drummer of The Stooges and the Michigan alt music scene of the late 80s / early 90s. We've got punk, rockabilly, country and two songs about chili. Plus a bunch of gags ripped directly from the pocket of Sam Raimi and giant stop motion wendigo from the Harryhausen school of monsters. All this and more in one of the most fun buried gems we've seen in a long time.

Jim reflects on one of the first "Big Monster" movies he saw growing up, 1955's Classic, "It Cam From Beneath The Sea," featuring the work of Ray Harryhausen and starring Kenneth Tobey, Faith Domergue, Donald Curtis, Ian Keith, Dean Maddox, and Harry Lauter. Produced by Charles Schneer and directed by Robert Gordon, the effects from this film continued to establish Harryhausen as one of the best special effects men in the business.

In 1967, a group of 20-somethings released The Equinox...A Journey Into the Supernatural (dir. Dennis Muren, Mark Thomas McGee). In 1970, the film was re-released as Equinox (adding dir. Jack Woods) thanks to producer Jack H. Harris. In 2025, longtime friends Derek and Matt discuss both films on Bride of Monster Kid Radio. Plus, Mark Matzek's Beta Capsule Review (Ultraman Ace), Listener Feedback, and a tribute to fallen monster kids by Captain Billy.

Back from the holiday break, Byrd and Matt set their sights on Ray Harryhausen's classic series of Sinbad films; the 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1957), the Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) are still among the most celebrated fantasy films of all time.  After getting tired of monsters tearing down landmarks, stop motion animator Ray Harryhausen decided to make a different kind of monster movie by drawing inspiration from the Arabian Nights folktales of Sinbad, a sailor who would go on swashbuckling adventures and fight monsters, sorcerers and more.  We discuss the history of these influential films, and discuss how they hold up all these years later.  We talk Cyclops, dragons, centaurs, troglodytes, and more!  Relax and enjoy the conversation!

Tyler and Nathan couldn't get enough Harryhausen creature effects so they're back again with another favorite, Jason and the Argonauts!

The gang's back (with special guest Teresa D. Lee) and we're here to give a tribute to the king of the stop-motion animated work: Rankin Bass Productions.   We note how they were a precurscor to anime & Lou Scheimer-Norm Prescott's Filmation collabs in a post-Harryhausen world. We also note funny parodies of their work on Community, South Park & MAD TV among other pop culture!                     MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/  Blind Knowledge Podcast Network: https://www.blindknowledge.com/       SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ   iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/   Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218   RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE   Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast   Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hNDYyOTdjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz   Anchor:  https://anchor.fm/s/a46297c/podcast/rss   PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4   CastBox:  https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222   Discord:  https://discord.com/channels/796154005914779678/796154006358851586         #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PodFamily #PodcastersOfInstagram #Movies #Film #Cinema #Music #Reviews #Retrospect #Podcasts #MutantFam #MutantFamily #actionmystery #bmovies #scifihorror #truecrime #historydramas #warmovies #podcastcollabs #hottakes #edgy #cultmovies #nsfw #HorrorFam #badass         

We set sail for the Golden Fleece this week as we take a deep dive look at the 1963 Harryhausen classic, Jason and the Argonauts.

Get outta here Harryhausen, there's a new stop motioneer here, namely director Robert Morgan with his 2023 film ‘Stopmotion'. Forget about the California Raisins, Wallace & Gromit, and Yukon Cornelius, those are for last millennium's children. Kids these days like their stop motion like their chicken nuggets, gross and meaty, and this has meat for days. But is just having meaty puppets enough to make a film good, or does it also need things like believable characters and non-played out tropes?

In Nate and Elijah's epic triple birthday celebration with Ray Harryhausen (“Yours, Mine, and Ray's”), they continue their annual crossover with The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973). While they're going in reverse chronological order, they agree with this is a “step up” from Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, which they discussed last year. It helps that it has the incredible Tom Baker (of Doctor Who fame) as the villain and the eye candy that is Caroline Munro. The film also has a cameo by Robert Shaw (Quint from Jaws) in a Shakespearean role. Nate and Elijah discuss how the film reflects changing attitudes toward racial and gender equality in the early 1970s and the symbolic freedom of the sea. They even get into a couple of “Toku Topics,” like the literary origins of Sinbad the Sailor and a lawsuit this film was a part of.

Release the Kraken! Twice!Clash of the Titans had been an idea since the late 1950s, with writer Beverley Cross writing a treatment in 1969 called Perseus and the Gorgon's Head. At the time, producer Charles H. Schneer and legendary animator Ray Harryhausen were working on other films, and so what became Clash of the Titans would have to wait until 1977 to start pre-production.It would eventually release in 1981 and include not only one of Harryhausen's most memorable creatures, Medusa, but also signal the beginning of the end of his career. Clash of the Titans would be his final film, in part thanks to a scathing review.Clash of the Titans would inevitably be remade one day, and that remake fell to Louis Leterrier, and new writers Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, using an original script by Travis Beacham based on Cross' original script. Updated to modern audiences' needs for big budgets, big-name actors and huge CG spectacle, Warner Bros would notice the huge 3D revolution started by James Cameron's Avatar, and decided to convert Clash of the Titans to 3D in post-production... I would love to hear your thoughts on Clash of the Titans (1981) & Clash of the Titans (2010) !CONTACT....

Ray Harryhausen was the master of stop-motion animation, creating some of the most iconic fantasy movies of all time and inspiring generations of creators. Jovial Jay and Shua film one frame at a time as they look back at the work of this legend on Enjoy Stuff!   It's time to indulge in some retro movies! These classics were brought to life through the genius of Ray Harryhausen and his creative creature design and animation techniques.    News John Williams, retire? Never! Eat like a Kaiju with a new Godzilla cookbook Or if you want Godzilla to eat you, check out a Japanese park where you can zipline into his open mouth Do you only want the best for your learning toddler? How about an Aliens inspired Little Golden Book? Pop Tarts has jumped right into the College Football toaster slot with their very own bowl game And if your sweet tooth hasn't been quenched, why not visit a Little Debbies park and climb on the food?   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay has been impressed with the new Percy Jackson and the Olympians series on Disney+. It's a great adaptation that is true to the first book and seems to be creatively exploring the characters. Shua is listening to Conan himself narrate his own book. Arnold Schwarzenegger shares some motivational life tips with his new book Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life. You may be surprised how useful some of his tips are.    Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay goes back (and forward) in time with the 2002 adaptation of the classic HG Wells story The Time Machine, starring Guy Pierce. Although some aspects are changed, it is a pretty good story with some surprisingly good themes. He has also been updating locations from Marvel TV and movies, including the Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter series. Play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua break down each episode of the Hawkeye series and more.     Enjoy Movies!  Don't stop-motion believin'! In 1933 a 13 year old Ray Harryhausen saw the movie King Kong and it forever changed the way we would experience movies. It inspired him to experiment in techniques of stop motion animation that he would continually improve throughout his entire career.    His impressive resume includes classics like Mysterious Island, Jason and the Argonauts, and of course Clash of the Titans. Many of his movies aren't even remembered for who starred in or directed them, but for Ray's special effects. His patented Dynamation technique of incorporating his stop motion creatures enhanced all these movies in a way that made you feel like you were part of the dream.    Countless creators were inspired by Ray's effects, such as Steven Spielberg, Terry Gilliam, Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, and of course the man who carried the mantle, visual effects legend Phil Tippett. Their movies continued to evolve Ray's techniques including how CGI even works today. We are all indebted to Mr. Harryhausen and are grateful for his work.  Which of Ray Harryhausen's works do you like? Have you ever made a stop motion movie? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Release the Kraken!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we complete our series on Trespasser. We look through the glass darkly at the mistakes and how they illustrate some things, before turning to our takeaways. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Finished the game! Issues covered: the funhouse mirror, writing the weird things on the whiteboards, voice acting, a game lost to time, the inner monologue, some good set up of a level, the invisible blocking wall surrounding Hammond's, box lifting master, weird technical friction about saves, looking for the white keycard, a misaligned bookshelf and visual language, the green disc, the personal memoir, rubbing the disc on the drive, the keycard mess, finding an alternate solution, immersive sim stuff, parallel developments, shining a light on something you didn't know you wanted, the preset objects, restoring forces, deconstructing what the designers put to place your own, contrivances, more keys that aren't keys, not leaning on the license, a more straightforward puzzle, 526327, the extending weird finger, modeling "dexterity," throwing the keycard in the Atlantic, a helpful (?) velociraptor, pressure plates in the ruins, playing something mid-development, games that should be canceled, deals that forced the game out, breaking your game while you build it, getting better at making the game, hitting the board in the wrong place, setting up the physics and seeing the world a certain way, shaking the Jell-O, letting the Jell-O settle, learning how to kite the dinosaurs, spawning three dinosaurs, making terrible mistakes, choosing appropriate goals, not knowing if a thing is possible, mashing up things, being aspirational, leading the way, admiring the purity, dinosaur ecology, getting to see something like this, being consistent in your rules, providing clarity. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Jules Verne, H. G.

Next time: ?? Notes: Having not seen 1974's The Land That Time Forgot in quite some time, Brett misremembered the movie. He was actually thinking either about scenes from a movie called The Valley of Gwangi, which is from 1969, or One Million Years BC, (1966) both of which feature stop-motion animation by Harryhausen.   Twitch: brettdouville or timlongojr, instagram:timlongojr, Twitter: @devgameclub Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com

Special effects titan Ray Harryhausen is rightfully renowned for pushing the medium of stop motion animation and single-handedly creating some of the most memorable on-screen monsters ever captured on screen. For this epic journey, we welcome back Scott Clevenger (from the Slumgullion podcast) to celebrate the mythic life and career of this legendary artist. After starting with a little history on the man himself, we'll each present one of Harryhausen's 17 films. Making sure to keep his wonderful, if monstrous, creations in the spotlight. Later on we have the results of the HARRYHAUSEN BATTLE ROYAL poll which we posted to the Facebook group before ending things on Nintenjoe's (hopefully not final) B-Segment. On Twitter (X), be sure to follow Jeff @TheSlumgullion and Scott @Scottclevenger AND... you can and should listen to The Slumgullion anywhere you listen to our show and check out their website! ----------------------------------------Retro Ridoctopus is:• Parasite Steve (read)• 8-Bit Alchemy (listen)• Nintenjoe (subscribe)----------------------------------------All original heavy metal music by Enchanted Exile

Byrd and Matt talk about Ray Harryhausen's classic dinosaur Western, the Valley of Gwangi!  It tells the story of some showmen and a scientist who go on an expedition into a valley in Mexico to find a prehistoric miniature horse.  What they also find is a flesh craving Allosaurus.  They bring it back to put it on display for the public and well... things don't go so well.  We'll discuss the history of the film, dating back to Willis O'Brien's failed attempts to get it made in the 1940s, the differences between O'Brien's version and Harryhausen's completed film, the lasting influence of Gwangi, the stop motion effects, and whether or not we think it holds up.  Relax and join the conversation!

What better way to celebrate Mother's Day than with a film about the greatest monster mama of them all? This installment of YHS on Monster Island is jam-packed with kaiju goodness, including a full review of the 1961 British-Irish-American co-production, Gorgo. Jake and Jay discuss suit design, who is actually the real protagonist, and if this movie had the most powerful net in the history of cinema! On top of reviewing the "Big G" - okay, the other "Big G" - okay, the third "Big G", the duo talk pick-ups including some Harryhausen awesomeness and more BioGojis, Jay's recent obscure tokusatsu binge into the worlds of Fireman, Mirrorman, and Spectreman, why it's hard to rank Ultra Q episodes, a host of toy reveals from Super Festival 85 and the 6th Mandarake Creative Sofubi Rally, Gamera: Rebirth giving us a tentative release date and a teaser image of Zigra, animal rights, and the first (and only) edition of Gorgo Movie Posters from Around the World! It's a wild and chaotic episode, no doubt...so enjoy!

The shadow of Harryhausen looms large over monster cinema with these flicks and more! Support Camp Kaiju at patreon.com/campkaiju for the full episode.

YHS on Monster Island returns and takes a look at the polarizing 2004 entry and finale of the Millennium series, Godzilla: Final Wars...and what better way to do that than have "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh reveal his Top 10 kaiju designs (or, more accurately, re-designs)? Our host minces no words as he discusses what went right, wrong...and very wrong...with the likes of Keizer Ghidorah, Anguirus, Monster X, and the entire Final Wars kaiju roster. On top of reviewing the film, Jacob and Jay touch on some recent toy news from Marusan, Star Ace/X-Plus, and compare the upcoming wacky Hedorah releases from Medicom Toy x Akashic Records and Swimmy Design Lab. Jay also provides a recap of Toku Toy Town's weekend at Retro Expo and his run-in with a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer! Of course, it wouldn't be YHS on Monster Island without weekly pick-ups...and though it's a light week on that front, it doesn't stop our dynamic duo of daikaiju devotees from detouring on topics such as Jay's fear of Harryhausen collecting and Super Mario Bros. toys. As always, please leave us a rating and review...and subscribe to the channel to get your latest on kaiju films, fandom, television, and toys!

After a short hiatus, Lee and Leah are back to cover the Desmond Davis-directed and Ray Harryhausen-produced "Clash of the Titans" (1981). How does the last film to feature Harryhausen's stop-motion effects hold up in 2023? Does it matter if they are considered outdated, or are they still effective with modern audiences? Due to having a decade between their respective ages, the hosts spend a lot of the conversation relating their experience with the film, and if when they first saw it had an impact on how they view it now, as well as just gushing over the effort behind the effects work, regardless of how old it is. Also, several listener comments (including a Apple Podcasts review!) and what they've both watched as of late are talked about. Pick up your magic sword and shield, put on your invisibility helmet, and listen to the show. Have no fear, because Zeus has got your back and he will not let you lose! "Clash of the Titans" IMDB  Featured Music: "Medusa" & "Prologue and Main Title" by Laurence Rosenthal.

After the success of DARKMAN, both Universal Pictures and Dino De Laurentiis — who'd produced EVIL DEAD 2 — were willing to move forward on a new entry into the EVIL DEAD franchise. The third EVIL DEAD film, which would eventually be titled ARMY OF DARKNESS, moved the franchise even further from its gritty exploitation horror roots and into the world of Harryhausen-inspired fantasy adventure, but with Raimi and Campbell's signature humor intact. In this episode, we'll discuss the creation of ARMY OF DARKNESS, including all of the ups and downs of its production, delayed release, and eventual ascension to cult classic status.

Back in December 2021 I spoke with author John Walsh about his book “Escape from New York - The Official Story of the Film”, that was episode 41. Well he's been busily beavering away on a new book, “Dr Who and the Daleks - The Official Story of the films”. FilmS because there were of course who of them. Both starring Peter Cushing as The Doctor. I remember watching these on Channel 4 in the early 90's and couldn't quite believe they existed. They are odd, but also pretty great.So I spoke to John earlier this month, October 2022. There will also be a free video version of this interview on my youtube and vimeo channels.

Pat Sweeney, or is it Mike Sweeney? There's really no way to be sure. Pat grew up in Manhattan Beach, California. He is an identical twin. Pat went with his brothers and sisters to the local catholic school and loved watching old movies on tv growing up. He saw all the Harryhausen films, King Kong, and was a fan of the original Star Trek. For college Pat knew he wanted to study film. He enrolled with his brother Mike at Loyola Marymount University in their film and tv program. While in school he got a chance to try various roles and even made a few short films. After college Pat was working at a car rental place to make ends meet when his brother Mike got a job as a production assistant at a fledgling visual effects company in Van Nuys that was working on a little movie called Star Wars. Shortly after that Pat was hired by Rose Duignan to work as a night watchman. After the Star Wars team moved up to Marin for Empire, Pat came to work as a camera assistant at Apogee on Star Trek: The Motion Picture. From there he went to work for Roger Corman on Battle Beyond the Stars where he worked with a young James Cameron. He worked for several years in Los Angeles and when a call came to come work on ET at ILM in San Rafael he took the leap. Pat worked at ILM for 25 years shooting elements for major effects sequences in Return of the Jedi, Temple of Doom, The Hunt for Red October, the Pirates films, the Transformers, and so many more. During my time at ILM Pat would often be in the motion control stage in D-building solving problems and shooting elements. He has a great sense of humor and it was always great fun to work with him. It was so much fun to catch up with him and hear about his incredible career.

For this episode I have somewhat of a kindred spirit by the name of Alexandre Poncet.Alexandre is, like me, a lover of behind the scenes stories. He and his friend and business partner, Gilles Penso have created a trilogy of documentaries about heros behind the scenes. One called Ray Harryhausen, Special Effects Titan, another called Creature Designers: The Frankenstein Complex, a third and most recent one called Phil Tippett: Mad Dreams and Monsters.I recently became aware of their work and was very much inspired by it, because as you may know I am in production on my first proper documentary with my pal Paddy Tyndall. What Alexandre and Gilles have achieved with such a small team is quite remarkable.The Phil Tippett book - https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/mad-dreams-and-monsters-the-art-of-phil-tippett/alexandre-poncet/gilles-penso/hardback/9781951836559.htmlThe documentaries - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Monster-Collection-Blu-ray-Doppelganger-Releasi/dp/B093RS7FW5/ref=pd_lpo_2?pd_rd_i=B093RS7FW5&psc=1

Taking a step behind the curtain of classic movie magic, today Alex and Jonathan discuss the techniques and creatures brought to the screen by VFX pioneer Ray Harryhausen in Mighty Joe Young (1949), The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), and Clash of the Titans (1981). We discuss the evolution of the Dynamation and Dynarama processes, the ways that his techniques influenced the effects that ended up surpassing his own, and where Dynamation might still fit in the modern cinema landscape.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Ameri-kaiju” jumps ahead 50 years, but as you'll hear, the (in)famous Cloverfield has a lot in common with the classic 1950s films we've been covering. Nate's longtime friend Nick Hayden drops by to discuss this movie because he's loved it ever since he first experienced it in a theater—and it is an experience. Too much of one for some people, in fact! While it's popular to hate on Cloverfield in the kaiju fandom, it popularized the “found footage” genre and launched J.J. Abrams' studio, Bad Robot Productions. To the shock of some of Nate's friends, he says this is the closest the United States has come to producing a Godzilla (1954). How and why? The Toku Topic helps explain that: the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Before this, Nate meets with Dr. Nick Tatopoulos on the Heat Seeker to discuss recent events. Nate learns Cameron Winter is covering his tracks, so Nate tells Nick he's thinking of taking Mr. Gold's promotion so he can spy on Winter. Afterward, Nate goes to Mr. Gold's office to discuss the offer—only to be interrogated about Jessica's shenanigans with the Ymir's escape on Harryhausen's birthday. Check out Nick's website (http://worksofnick.com/) and his podcast, Derailed Trains of Thought (http://derailedtrainsofthought.com/). The prologue and epilogue, “Claws and Cash,” was written by Nathan Marchand. Guest stars: R. Villers as Nick Tatopoulos Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold Lemonjolly as Ms. Kawaii Additional music: “The Edge Calls Me” by MkVaff “Pacific Rim” by Niall Stenson “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo “This Cowboy's Hat” (instrumental) by Chris LeDoux “When Your Mom Mistakes Captain Falcon for Captain America Again” by Vijay van der Weijden Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ.

On this episode, the 2022 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza puts on its sandals and raises its sword to the sky as we chat about 2010's Clash of the Titans! Why is it that every monster in this movie had to be as big as a house, meanwhile most of Harryhausen's 1981 monsters are much smaller and way more terrifying? Why did we have to make this an edge lord revenge film instead of a fantasy/romance adventure? And did Ralph Fiennes really think he could play Hades just like he played Voldemort and no one would notice? PLUS: Much talk about Desmond Davis's totally kick-ass, original film from 1981!

Release the crossover! Nate and his friend Elijah “The Littlest Gatekeeper” Thomas start a new annual tradition for their podcasts, The Monster Island Film Vault and Kaiju Conversation, respectively, by discussing a Ray Harryhausen film every year. Why? Because they both share a birthday with the special effects legend. Also, since these two are weird, they're going in reverse filmography order, starting with the original Clash of the Titans. This epic adventure was a relic when it came out, but given Harryhausen's romantic love of the past and love of the classics, it's not surprising. Your hosts dive deep into this film's production—Arnold Schwarzenegger was nearly the lead?!—and discuss the many incredible mythological creatures that appear in it. As Harryhausen's best friend, the author Ray Bradbury, said, Medusa in this film is Harryhausen's “crowning glory.” Just forgive Elijah for being a bit snobby about it. Happy birthday, Ray!

Giant bees! Giant Chickens! GIANT ENEMY CRAB! Ray Harryhausen takes on Jules Verne in the 1961 adventure MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.

Hello, kaiju lovers! MIFV's season three theme, Ameri-kaiju, wouldn't be complete without some Ray Harryhausen, so Nate invited both of his “co-hosts in kamen” (ba-dum-tsh!) to discuss 20 Million Miles to Earth. (Yes, Jimmy reminds Nate that he got his chronology wrong, because this film was released in 1957 and The Blob was 1958. Oops!). Harryhausen super-fans Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton, co-hosts of the Kaiju Weekly podcast, join Nate in a chat that veers perilously close to derailing at multiple points. Jet lag will do that to you, especially when flying to the Island in the Rad Bug. Regardless, 20 Million Miles was Harryhausen's first truly iconic film, paving the way for his fantasy epics that followed. The intrepid Jimmy From NASA keeps trying to tell his story about seeing a herd of Ymir on their native Venus, but nobody cares. The Toku Topic is the Soviet side of the Space Race since this film begins with a rocket ship crash and was released several months before the launch of Sputnik I. Be prepared for many (bad) Russian accents! To compete with this broadcast, Cameron Winter did a livestream where he sent one of his Cyber-Flies to track down the Ymir so he could be put on display for the film's anniversary and Harryhausen's birthday in June. Winter rambles about seemingly random things while doing so. Special thanks to J.P. Gant for helping to edit this episode! Follow him on Twitter: @Homebrewed_SD (https://tinyurl.com/2jpc36r5).

Oil up those muscles and sharpen your sword because we are going on an epic journey in a time long ago, when sorcerers, warriors, and fantasy ruled the cinema. Journey with Jay and Shua as they look at classic sword and sorcery movies.   Conan the Barbarian has been around for almost 90 years, but 40 years ago the character was brought to life by Arnold Schwarzenegger, early in his career. This movie inspired a plethora of other stories throughout the 80's. Mount those horses and journey to a forgotten age with Enjoy Stuff   News Transformers Optimus Prime has been turned into an epic LEGO set Christopher Walken joins Dune: Part 2 Get ready to learn half the battle when GI Joe gets a special screening courtesy of Fathom Events In a couple years we will get a follow up to This Is Spinal Tap Congratulations to Jovial Jay as his essay about 45 Years of Star Wars Expanded Universe Fiction is published in Bare-Bones #10 Make sure to check the boys out as guests on Podcast Stardust discussing Attack of the Clones What we're Enjoying Now that Jay has revisited Attack of the Clones, he couldn't help but watch Revenge of the Sith too. Plus, he finally completed the story of LEGO Star Wars, The Skywalker Saga. Now he can get back to work. Shua watched Mike Myers secret society series The Pentaverate on Netflix. It was pure Mike Myers comedy with some fun jokes and thoughtful themes.     Sci-Fi Saturdays/MCU Location Scout Be sure to check out Jay's articles on Retrozap.com. This week he stretches his muscles to keep up with Jean Claude Van Damme in the 1994 flick Timecop. And make sure to check out MCULocationScout.com for some Moon Knight locations and soon, more Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.    Enjoy movies! Conan the Barbarian made his live action debut in 1984 with a John Milius production of the same name. This was not Schwarzenneger's first film, but it definitely put him on the road to stardom. Despite some of it's dated effects and slow pace, it is a beautiful, fantasy epic.    There were a bevy of Sword and Sorcery films after the success of Conan. But we saw a few in a similar genre before. Disney films like The Sword in the Stone (1963) and the Harryhausen creations like The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) and its sequels and Clash of the Titans (1981).    Marc Singer brought a different type of barbarian to the fantasy world. His character of Dar in Beastmaster (1982) had the ability to connect and communicate with animals that helped him defeat the evil sorcerer played by Rip Taylor.  Oops! I mean Rip Torn.    Fantasy lends itself to such a wide variety of movies such as The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) and a rare, early Disney PG movie called Dragonslayer (1981). These kept the interest in these types of mythical worlds.    Excalibur (1981) was a medieval tale of King Arthur that brought the ancient tale to the modern screen. It also inspired some cool artwork from Shua's father. Fire and Ice (1983) featured rotoscoping animation from Ralph Bakshi. These are just a tiny sampling of this genre that was so popular during the 80s. There were so many more!   Are you a fan of Sword and Sorcery films? What type do you like? Did you read all the way to the bottom? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Now we are dead!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

In the first episode of my Heroes Through the Decades miniseries, I'm starting in the sixties, and the crowing jewel of Ray Harryhausen's stellar career, with his trademark glorious stop-motion creature set pieces, in a movie I grew up watching - Jason and the Argonauts. Jason may be the hero on-screen, but Harryhausen is the hero behind it. From its basis in the Greek myth of Jason and the Golden Fleece, to Ray Harryhausen's early career and the influence he had seeing King Kong (1933) to becoming the protégé of Willis H. O'Brien (the animator of King Kong), Harryhausen would end up surpassing his mentor in every way and became a one-man behemoth of Hollywood visual effects, influencing Peter Jackson, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, amongst others. This episode was so much fun to put together and will definitely not be my last foray into the work of Harryhausen, a man who irrevocably changed Hollywood and defined the modern blockbuster in more ways than one. I would love to hear your thoughts on Jason and the Argonauts (1963) ! GET IN TOUCH....
