On the latest Geeks Guide to the Galaxy podcast, I join Chandler Klang Smith, Thomas Gerencer, and host David Barr Kirtley to discuss the works of Terry Gilliam. I remember being haunted by Time Bandits, even though I loved it.
Here’s an excerpt from the podcast:
“I saw this movie in the theater, and two things scared the crap out of me. The first was when [the dwarves] come into his bedroom and start pushing on the wall, and the wall goes further and further back, and then the Supreme Being’s face comes out. ‘Give me the map.’ I think I was six years old. I was terrified. And then at the end, you’re like, ‘Oh, he’s back home.’ Then basically it ends like a horror movie. His parents touch the piece of Ultimate Evil and they vanish, and then the movie ends. And you’re like, ‘Wait, the fire department left, everyone left. This kid’s alone. He just traveled through space and time. What does he do now?’ As a kid that was horrifying.”
In other words, exactly like a Gen X’er growing up! You can listen to the full podcast here, or on your favorite podcast app.
