Wild, Wild Podcast

Well, where to start? This film was so difficult to watch that Rod had to pace the room to stay awake, and Adrian actually did fall asleep and was an hour late getting the podcast recording started. Yes, it's Cosmos: War of the Planets, a film that not even its mother would love. You can watch it here to form your own opinion.

We would love to hear what you think of this film, once you have recovered. You can contact us via Twitter and Instagram, or you can email us at [email protected]

It's the episode we've all been waiting for! Wild, Wild Planet, the movie that inspired the name of this podcast. Join Adrian and Rod as they both pour praise and occasional sarcasm on this science fiction wonder. Yes they love it, but it's also a pretty crazy film that doesn't always make a lot of sense. "Why is Franco Nero in a knitted baby onesie?" is just one of the questions your hosts try to answer.

You can buy Wild, Wild Planet from the Warner Archive. It's not on blu ray yet, but if enough people buy this version then maybe they will take the hint!

At the close of the podcast you can hear the song "Wild, Wild Planet" by the band Several Mouth Parts. You can find a video here, or check out their website to hear more great stuff like this!

Only four episodes in and it's already time for more Mario Bava! After his first foray into space science fiction with The Day the Sky Exploded, he finally came back to the field in 1965 and this time delivered one of the all time genre greats. Join Rod and Adrian as they spend longer than usual discussing the next film in the season, the misleadingly titled Planet of the Vampires.

This is the first film covered on the podcast that has been released on home video, DVD and blu ray, so grab yourselves a copy and enjoy Bava's incredibly inventive and stylish sci-fi horror.

Join Adrian and Rod as they blast off into space again, this time in the "hilarious" company of Franco and Ciccio in Lucio Fulci's science fiction comedy 002 Operazione Luna (yes, THAT Fulci). During the voyage they discuss Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, what makes things funny, and the true story of the Judica-Cordiglia brothers in Italy, who intercepted radio transmissions from real lost cosmonauts in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

You can find 002 Operazione Luna on YouTube without subtitles, but a subtitled version is out there on more dubious sites if you know where to look.

If you want to learn more about the Judica-Cordiglia brothers, there is a fascinating documentary called Space Hackers (2007) available on YouTube.

Your next assignment is to travel across the galaxy in search of the greatest scoop of your career. As a journalist with apparently nothing else to do for the next few years, why not accept and join Rod and Adrian as they travel into the farthest reaches of Outer Space?

Officially designated as Italy's first science fiction film, Assignment Outer Space has a lot to offer, but will Rod have changed his mind since his somewhat negative blog review fifteen years ago? Listen and find out...

You can watch Assignment: Outer Space on YouTube if you are playing along at home

You can read Rod's blog on the film here

You can also hear Rod's Battle of the Worlds (1961) episode of The Bloody Pit through his blog or on your podcast provider of choice

Join your hosts Adrian Smith and Rod Barnett as they blast off on an atomic rocket, with little thought for the potential consequences, to discuss The Day the Sky Exploded (La morte viene dallo spazio, 1958, Paolo Heusch/ Mario Bava), the first film in the Italiani nello spazio season.
