At The Earth's Core
Manage episode 488107752 series 3650773
Fire up the Iron Mole and hold onto your umbrellas because we’re heading to the center of the Earth, baby!
This week, Art and Erik descend into the molten madness of At the Earth’s Core (1976), where Victorian adventurers drill their way into a lava-lit land of psychic bird overlords, and enslaved mole people. It's a pulp sci-fi fever dream full of sweaty heroics, rubber-suit monsters, and Peter Cushing acting acting up a storm!
We’re talking flamethrower frogs, suggestive plants, and Erik's theory about the influence of this film on a certain, well-known director!
Along the way, we dig into creature design, 70s sci-fi andcomplicated Pellucidorian mating rituals!
And one actor wins one of our coveted awards!
