Awesomely Bad 70s and 80s Science Fiction Movies

Flash Gordon, quarterback, NY jets

Fast on the heels of our last podcast, where I discussed awesomely bad 80s fantasy movies with Andrea Kail, Thomas Gerencer, and host David Barr Kirtley, this time around we discuss awesomely bad 70s and 80s science fiction films. They include:

ZARDOZ (1974)
BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY (1979)
FLASH GORDON (1980)
THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI (1984)
THE ICE PIRATES (1984)

Do I need to say that Flash Gordon is my favorite of the above? “Flying blind on a rocket cycle? I’ll send you a homing beam!”

Here’s a little taste of what I say on the podcast:

“There’s always that danger when you go back and rewatch something that you loved as a kid, and that you haven’t seen it a couple decades or more,” Kressel says in Episode 378 of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast. “You go back and you’re like, ‘I’m going to love this, I’m going to love this,’ and then you’re like, ‘Oh. Oh no.’”
