SSP Cult Classics 6 - Flash Gordon (1980)

D.K's Cult Classics Episode 6 - "Gordon's alive!!!" A menacing cackle echoes through the air, freak weather conditions fill the skies, a rock beat starts to pound... FLASH! AH-AHHHH! Yes the inevitable day has come, our series looking at cult film has turned it's gaze towards our Mike's personal favourite and an absolute cornerstone of the genre: 1980's Flash Gordon. D.K is hosting as always and we're joined by awesome first time guest Rune (they/them). Rune will try and get a word in and bring their relatively fresh thoughts about the film to the discussion, alongside the two old nerds who can recite every word. There's a deep dive into the making of the film, the on-set feud that led to the star being re-dubbed, the retrospective effect it's had on film and personally on our panel. And there is a LOT of talk about the "Life After Flash" documentary (Mike came with completed homework, as if it was necessary!). So strap into your rocket ship as we propel you to the planet Mongo for this in-depth super long (but hopefully entertaining) podcast examining the man who saved every one of us, from beginning to the end...?
