Speeder Rides Again: The Megaforce Resurrection

from Cinema Yūgen Hosted by hill33kjw

In this episode, a childhood dream becomes a full-throttle odyssey: Bob "Speeder" Lindenmayer returns to Cinema Yugen to tell the story of making Making Megaforce — a decade-plus pursuit to rescue lost Hollywood machines, recover fading legends, and stage one last, reckless ride into the desert. From festival triumphs to late-night campfire confessions, the conversation hums with the roar of rebuilt engines and the quiet ache of devotion. Through anecdotes about barroom tequila, improvised effects in a garage, and a tearful, cinematic final run alongside Barry Bostwick, the episode unfolds like a road movie in podcast form: equal parts obsession, friendship, and redemption. Tune in to feel the rumble, savor the nostalgia re-imagined, and discover why some heroes never fade — they ride forever.
