Dragonslayer

Chris Chipman joins us again as we journey to a long lost age of monsters and movie magic and do battle with 1981's Dragonslayer. Listen as we marvel over the film's incredible animatronic and go-motion effects, examine how the film's portrayal of religion and authority reflects post-Vietnam cynicism, and discuss the movie's place among other 1980s fantasy films. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and a crazy, murdering nutbar. Our theme song is "Nostalgia TV" by Edward Jonathan Blakeley through Lynne Publishing.
