Sci-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.
Special Guests: William Friedkin, Joseph McBride, Christopher Welles Feder, Peter Bogdanovich, Jonathan Rosenbaum Guest Co-Hosts: Roger L. Ryan, Rob St. Mary, Justin Bozung
An episode two years in the making...
Orson Welles's follow-up to Citizen Kane adapted Booth Tarkington's Pulitzer prize-winning novel about industrial progress and the loss of innocence set against a tumultuous family, the Ambersons.
Welles infamously lost control of The Magnificent Ambersons before its final release. We'll examine its production, its destruction, and attempts to restore what many consider Welles's forgotten masterpiece.
We're joined by guest co-host Roger L. Ryan. And...there's a special appearance by Mondo Justin!
