Ep.103: This Island Earth (1955) or ‘It’s Just a Podcast, You Should Really Just Relax’
from Yesteryear Ballyhoo Revue
Zach welcomes back podcaster Phil Vecchio (The Mandarian Orange Show, Alex P. Keaton Is My Friend) to deep dive into the SUPREME EXCITEMENT OF OUR TIME, as they take on the 1955 Sci-Fi sensation, THIS ISLAND EARTH! Hop in the Metalunan Space Plane and take a trip as boys unveil the history of the films production, recoil at some unsavory tidbits regarding the Mu-tant costume, marvel at the prowess of Jeff Morrow, find appreciation in both the cheesy and deeper elements of the film, find wonder in the delightful special effects shots, analyze the films impact on Sci-Fi today, and find the benefits of loving the film hand in hand with 1996 riff on the film in Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. PLUS: Is 'This Island Earth' more influential than 'Citizen Kane'? POSSIBLY! -------- Be sure to listen to Phil's podcasts The Mandarian Orange Show https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mandarian-orange-show/id1080110607 If it helps, you an start with Zach's guest spot on the show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mandarian-orange-show-episode-227-to-zach-or-not/id1080110607?i=1000615213849 Alex P.
