Sing with me now: "Starcrash, it's a Starcrash, we're having a Starcrash..."

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.
