As excited as I was to see Vincent Honk, the world-famous cartoon director, slumming it with Andy here, I almost checked out early because of all the Jefflessness going on... [HEAVY SPOILERS!] But then BAM! 4:08 hits and Jeff the Merciless bursts forth from his colorful turtle picture prison, like Cthulhu rising from the sunken city of R'lyeh, and comes in like a raspy wrecking ball! It's a Christmas miracle!
Holy Jeepers! My butt flew off! Thanks for the kind words Jobe (or Riley… or my mom)! I appreciate it more than you can possibly imagine! And I Superappreciate you avoiding spoilers with your comment!
Back in the studio, and with a new guest??! Fantabulous! Brother Jeff is like a bad penny! I was glad to see him and his grand entrance. While I think STAR WARS is better in every way, FLASH GORDON was a great film to follow on the footsteps of all the popularity SW brought back to the movies. And many a shitty sci-fi movie was made due to that popularity. Right up there at the top of 80’s sci-fi films for me!! Great show, Hollywood Night Heat!!
Next time I’ll have to put that placemat in a lead-lined box or something. You gotta admit, Ming the Merciless > Disney+ Darth Vader any day of the week! “My life is not for any human to give or take!”. Stone cold, baby.
The rogue ass shot had to be mentioned. I think the football scene established something important about the characters. He can make a mockery out of them with his athleticism, and Dale is established as his cheerleader. And you start to see a flaw in mings minions, using something as simple as "play."
I absolutely agree! It was Mongo’s introduction to Flash. They got to see his defiance to Ming and loyalty to his female companion. It planted the seed of the possibility of rebellion in their Mongo minds. I believe they cut a scene of Richard O’Brien whispering to Prince Barin “This man has balls bigger than the ice glaciers of Naquk!”
About the Margot Kidder a Superman, I believe, and I could be wrong, but I can’t recall a time I ever was, for all the good it’s done me, but, the whacky Superman making the world spin backwards was actually a representation of only Superman going back in time, not the entire Earth. It was a pretty abstract representation, but what were they going to do, have him go sit in a chair, à la H G Well’s The Time Machine, and watch events and skeletons around him going back in time? Superman like a dumb fuck with his thumb up his ass, just sitting there? You probably already knew that, but I don’t care. P.S Die Hard = Christmas, and so does Gremlins, and a hot dog is a sandwich, not a hoagie.
Once and for all Superman does not turn back time in the film. He creates a wormhole and uses it to go back in time. Tell everyone you know so they understand his logic.
Hmm. That's an interesting take. So when they show all of the events that happened moving in reverse that's not really time reversing but it's wormhole travel stuff???

Jeff forever now known as Greystroke! And take that in any way possible!😂
Is that you, Riley??? Christmas Miracle indeed! Hail Jesus!

Greystoke? Or Greystroke? Because those are two totally different types of nicknames…

I’m like an ugly yellow stain you can’t get rid of because they don’t make Topol the Smoker’s Tooth Polish anymore!

I have to say this may be the best argument for labeling the ENTIRE movie as NOT camp.
And Rogue, yup.

I fully agree. Flash Gordon is "B.T.S.W"... Much better.
You and I could be friends.
Better than the other two trilogies combined.

Even as a child my thoughts were “ if he’s reversing time then now he’s gonna have to stop the unexploded nukes again!”.
I agree with some of all of that. But a hotdog is a hotdog. Neither sandwich, nor hoagie.
I am so glad someone gets this. It kills me when I hear someone say that Superman turned the world back into the past.
1980 Flash Gordon is HANDS DOWN the best SF movie I still haven't watched. But I have the graphic novel at least.
Awesome! Don’t watch it! It gets even better the more you don’t watch it!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
