Podcast # 710 – “Fantastic Voyage” – 1812.16

This week classic film guest host Mark is back with another classic.  This time it’s the great “Fantastic Voyage” film from 1966.  Here are some words from Mark about this amazing film.

Hello Everybody!
This is Mark Daniels from the Great Pacific Northwest.  I’m back this week with another classic science fiction  movie.  This week I’m going to cover  “Fantastic Voyage,” starring Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmund OBrien, Donald Pleasance and Arthur Kennedy.  This is a fun movie and I’ve enjoyed this movie since I was a kid.  I hope you all enjoy it!  If you have a lava lamp, youll enjoy this movie!
 
I’ll be back soon with another classic science fiction.
 
Until then…
Everyone take care…
This is M-5 signing off.
 
Big thanks to Mark again for another cool guest spot and all of his great shows from this past year.  I’ll be back next week with a special Christmas vidcast.  In the meantime, go see the “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” movie because it’s really awesome!  Until next time take care.

See a local news story HERE about it all.

 

Podcast # 709 – “Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger” – 1812.09

This week I take a look at the 1977 film, “Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.”  First up, I talk about two new Marvel movie trailers that dropped this week for “Captain Marvel” and “Avengers Endgame.”  Both of these movies look great!  I talk about the upcoming (starts tonight) big CW Elseworlds DC comic crossover event too.  Then it’s on to the main topic for this week.

“Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger” is a really fun movie and again features one of my favorite effect masters, Ray Harryhausen.  This is the third in the “Sinbad” line of films and is really cool to watch once again.  The move features Patrick Wayne as Sinbad and a very young Jane Seymour as his love interest Farah.  Check this movie out when you can, I think you will really enjoy it a lot!

That’s about it for this week.  Next week I think will be guest host Mark (hopefully) with another classic film and I will be back in two weeks with my annual Christmas vidcast show.  Until next time, take care and enjoy your week ahead.

Podcast # 708 – Animation – 1812.02

A somewhat shorter podcast this week instead of a guest cast where I cover the history of animation for “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” too.  With all the new series coming I thought it was time to do sort of a round up on this topic.  I mainly cover “Star Wars” cartoons and animation as it has the most series and work so far.  I go over all the series briefly but focus more on the recent ones including the most recent, “Galaxy of Adventures.”  Then I talk a little about the Trek animated series from the 70’s and the upcoming “Lower Decks” comedy animated series that hopefully will be out next year.  A fun little show and topic to talk about.

Next week I’ll be back covering probably a movie and maybe even a holiday themed genre type of film.  Until then enjoy your upcoming week.

Podcast # 707 – More Disco – 1811.25

This week I decided to cover (briefly) the next four episodes of season one of “Star Trek: Discovery.”  I previously covered the first two episodes a few weeks back and I’m trying to power through all of them prior to season two in January.  I first talk about some recent TV & movies as I usually do and also a cool new prop that I got from master prop builder Richard Coyle.  Then it’s on to the Discovery chat.

The next four episodes of Discovery do a lot to introduce us the the Discovery crew and ship.  Lots of interesting things going on and I enjoyed it when I was first watching these episodes as they aired about a year ago.  I give a brief rundown on the episodes and point out some highlights and behind the scenes stuff too.  Hope you enjoy the quick look at these episodes.

Next week should be a guest cast.  Until next time take care and enjoy your week ahead.

Podcast # 706 – Tribute to Stan Lee – 1811.18

This week was going to be a guest cast or repeat show, but I just had to do a podcast to pay tribute to Marvel legend, Stan Lee.  Comics and Marvel have meant a lot to me over the years and I try to pay tribute and also talk a bit about Stan and the Marvel legacy.  These are not just comic books and comic book characters he helped to create and work on but they are a positive influence on many people with their themes and ideals.  So, I hope you enjoy my podcast this week and my comments about Stan and what he helped to build and create.

I’ll be back next weekend with a look at a couple more Discovery episodes.  Until then take care and enjoy your week (and a Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in the US).
