Episode 636: Wizards (1977)

Guest Co-Hosts: Vincenzo Natali, Agatha Luz

Sci-Fi July continues with a discussion of Ralph Bakshi's Wizards. Released in 1977, the film stars the voices of Bob Holt as Avatar and Jesse Welles as Elinore. The film is an illuminating history bearing on the everlasting struggle for world supremacy fought between the powers of technology and magic. Or something like that.

Vincenzo Natali and Agatha Luz join Mike to discuss this Tolkeinesque post-apocalyptic fantasy film.
