History of Superhero Films: 1939’s Buck Rogers!

from Pop Culture Historians · host Ryan Ritter

This week, the Pop Culture Historians follow up their Flash Gordon discussion with a breakdown of the 1939 Buck Rogers film serial. Topics of discussion include whether we liked this one-off adventure better than the Flash trilogy, and why we think this one didn’t seem to catch on as much with audiences at the time. The entire Buck Rogers serial can be found on the LongForgottenVideos YouTube channel! Follow us on @pchistorians on Twitter and @popculturehistorianspodcast on Instagram.
