For our 41st episode (and 3rd of 2016 if you're keeping count) we're joined by Famous Monsters of FilmlandEditor David Weiner (@tikiambassador) for a discussion of all things robotic. We each pick and discuss our personal three favourite and least favourite mechanical men from film and television over the decades and discuss why. Along the way, we talk about toys, comics and even radio drama. We open the show with some words about the influence David Bowie and the crummy news that January delivered. Topics Discussed: Black Hole, Doctor Who, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Phantom Creeps, Millennium, Lost in Space, Buck Rogers, Logan's Run, Filmation, Space Academy.
Hit us up on our facebook page with your top three best and worst!
This month's show starts off with Jason talking
a little bit about his BAFTA Flash Gordon event but then segways into the works
of Irwin Allen, primarily his TV work of the 1960s.
Voyage to the Bottom
of the Sea, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants and Time Tunnel as well as the
busted pilot "City Beneath the Sea" and "The Man from the 25th
Century".
Along the way we
talk about Aurora Model Kits, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Nathan Juran,
Gerry Anderson, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Space Academy and Brian's
preoccupation with Amazon Women on the Moon. We also want to keep the
conversation going on the Pod Stallions Facebook page, please drop a line as to
your favourite Irwin Allen show and toys. We anxiously await your thoughts.
