"Flash, Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!" We invited over Trek Culture's Seán Ferrick back on the podcast to watch the camp extraveganza Flash Gordon (1980). Like the renegade cousin strung out on psychedelics to George Lucas's more successful Star Wars Flash, Gordon is one of our favorite cult classics to come out of the early 1980s. Nobody knew how to put on a show like Italian movie mogul Dino De Laurentiis, and Flash Gordon has it all. Playgirl coverboy Sam J. Jones as our sincere beefcake protagonist, the wooden tour de force performance of Melody Anderson as Dale, Max von Sydow chewing the scenery as Emperor Ming the Merciless (culturally insenstive is an understatement here).  All political correctness aside, Flash Gordon is still a good time. We talk about Timothy Dalton doing the most with the least amount of character of the bunch, Brian Blessed playing his performance to the back row with his army of  harness clad Winged Hawk-Men. Not to mention the rocking score by Queen. This movie went onto be a huge inspiration to Seth McFarland, Taika Waititi, and Edgar Wright for it's insanly fun imagry. FLASH Ah-ah He'll Save Every One of Us!  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay (http://www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay) Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna
