FLASH - AH - AH! Savior of the universe! On this very special episode of Not a Bomb Podcast, Troy and Brad are joined by The VHS Files host , Josh, to discuss the 1980 space opera - Flash Gordon. Released in the shadow of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Flash Gordon is known for its amazing costume design, practical sets, and questionable dialogue.

Since it’s initial release, Flash has garnered a cult following and has become one of the most influential science fiction films of the last 50 years.

Join us as we travel to planet Mongo and discuss the production history of Flash Gordon and whether or not this colorful, little film is a science fiction classic.
