On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are traveling through space to save the universe from the dreaded Emperor Ming. We watched the 1980 film from Mike Hodges, Flash Gordon.

What do a former football player, a Swedish knight who challenges Death to a chess match, and a fiddler on the roof all have in common? They’re all in this absolutely bonkers B-movie!

I don’t want to give too much of this one away. Rest assured, though, that watching this film at the right time in one’s life could be a formative experience. By the time the credits roll, you won’t be the same person.

Listen in to discover what we ranked this month’s B-movie. Will is be brilliant, a flunder, or the ever-dreaded blunder?
