Adam Ant in World Gone Wild (1987) (With Ben Jones)
Manage episode 361177031 series 1809286
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of, which is probably for the best, as Adam Ant earned a fair bit of it for his role in this post-apocalyptic action movie. The product of veteran journeyman director Lee H Katzin, it also stars Bruce Dern in a role he literally does not remember filming as the last hippie, fighting against the diminutive Man and his army of bad choirboys. No, really.
This week we're joined by the Cymreig Samurai himself, Ben Jones, as we discuss how Adam Ant's cult nearly had a very different book as their inspiration, and get the idea for a guaranteed smash-hit range of action figures. Ben also astonishes Graham with a pop movie even he hasn't heard of, and we discuss the intimate secrets of Pinocchio's anatomy. The film sends you down some strange paths, OK?
If you want to help us survive the coming apocalypse, you can donate to our Patreon where you get all kinds of goodies - a whole other movies and TV podcast, Last Night..., plus Graham's twice-weekly Doctor Who reviews, access to the Geek Show archives, Rob's reviews of Asian films that cry out for UK home releases, and a monthly bonus episode of this very podcast that isn't available anywhere else.
