This week on Reel Trash Cinema, we're diving into the strange, psychedelic, and completely unforgettable world of Wizards (1977), the animated cult classic from legendary filmmaker Ralph Bakshi!
Set in a post-apocalyptic future where magic has returned to Earth, Wizards throws everything into the blender. Fairies, mutants, elves, robots, dark magic, ancient technology, and, somehow, a whole lot of Nazi imagery. At the center of it all are twin brothers Avatar and Blackwolf, locked in a battle that could determine the future of the world.
Is Wizards a misunderstood animated masterpiece? A bizarre relic of 1970s counterculture? Or one of the strangest movies we've ever watched for the podcast?
Marc, Bill, and Rena break down the animation, story, characters, bizarre imagery, questionable choices, and everything else that makes Ralph Bakshi's Wizards such a unique cult film.
So grab your magic wand, avoid the mutant armies, and join us for another trip into the wonderfully weird world of Reel Trash Cinema!
