Lee, Leah, and their friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill travel through the cosmos this episode as they check out Luigi Cozzi's "Starcrash" (1978), a fun Italian "Star Wars" rip-off starring Caroline Munro, Marjoe Gortner, Joe Spinell, David Hasselhoff, and Christopher Plummer (!). Sexy costumes, big hair, clunky stop-motion, the lava lamp of death, a hillbilly robot cop, and handy magical powers out of nowhere are just some of things touched upon, as well as listener comments, and what the hosts have watched as of late.
