Episode 157: The Devil's Rain falls on Planet 8!

Planet 8 Podcast

This episode, we take a trip in the wayback machine to experience "The Devil's Rain!" Part of the wave of Devil/Satanic films in the 1970s, this has an amazing cast, including William Shatner, Ernest Borgnine, Eddie Albert, Tom Skerritt, Ida Lupino, and a very young John Travolta! A true battle of good vs. evil, featuring a devil-worshipping cult after a special book that will allow them to ...release the Devil's Rain? The plot is a bit dodgy, but the real pleasure here is watching an incredibly menacing Borgnine go up against Shatner and company. It's also got plenty of slimy, melting cultists to keep you entertained. The Planet 8 crew, plus guest Lord Blood-Rah, will discuss all the details of this beloved 70s classic.

As we turn on the old Sensor Sweep, we remind you to check out Lord Blood-Rah's site, lordbloodrah.com, to see all the things he's up to (including showing a 3D movie!). Karen plugs her new YouTube channel, Echoes from the Satellite, where she talks about sci-fi and fantasy books. Bob is still working on getting Godzillafest off the ground. be sure to get your tickets soon! Larry shares one of the first Planet 8 logo designs (check it on YouTube). And Lord Blood-Rah has his honorary Planet 8 member certificate! It's so fun seeing these pieces of history.

Thanks for listening! Let us know what you think of the Devil's Rain. Did you see this in the 70s? Is it a cult favorite of yours?
