Does a science-fiction property even exist if there isn't an "adult" parody version of it? One of the earliest (and arguably greatest) was "Flesh Gordon" which premiered on July 30, 1974. What surprised audiences was the care and attention to aping the style of the old Flash Gordon serials, made by an aspiring group of film pros. We tell the story of "Flesh..." and its legacy on today's show!
