Shownotes

My old high school friend Ted Craig stops by to watch Ice Pirates with us! Ice Pirates is pretty much the nail in the 1980s sci-fi adventure films. It just made it under the radar in 1984, making its budget back. A year later, it's likely to have been a PG-13 film and because of that, a huge flop.

Ice Pirates' budget was cut in half during production and rewritten as a comedy. It stars the late great Robert Urich, with a scene stealing segment featuring legendary writer/raconteur Bruce Vilanch and a troupe of Amazons! Or is it a gaggle of Amazons when they're with someone as witty as Bruce Vilanch?

It's a movie that features Space Herpes, Castrated Slaves, spandex galore, and Angelica Huston wearing rebar!

If you want to let us know what you thought about Ice Pirates, or you have a movie you think we should watch, let us know.
