Guest Co-Hosts: Carol Borden, Walter ChawSci-Fi July continues with Ishiro Honda's Latitude Zero (1969). Written by Ted Sherdeman and based on his and his wife Anne’s NBC radio serial of the same name, the film stars Joseph Cotten as a Captain Nemo-like commander of a submarine on it's way to... Latitude Zero, an underwater Utopia populated by scientists from the world over. Their enemy, Malic (Cesar Romero), will stop at nothing to destroy them, even if it means making a manticore with pieces of his crew.
Walter Chaw and Carol Borden join Mike to discuss this under-seen kaiju classic and its fascinating origin.
