Forbidden World (Episode 29) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky - a podcast by Dan Domingues & Vicky Aguero

Dan and Vicky tackle their first bona fide B movie with the Roger Corman produced Alien rip-off Forbidden World from 1982.  The movie began life under the title Mutant but was quickly re-edited and re-titled by Corman to take out most of director Allan Holzman's nods at humor and give the film a title he thought wouldn't stump viewers.  Also tacked on was a pre-credit battle in space scene Corman insisted upon as a shameless Star Wars riff.

Dan makes the case that Forbidden World is a fun, atmospheric, capably shot and lit sci-fi horror hybrid that reaches beyond it's low budget constraints.  But Vicky ain't having it.  Her appraisal is less generous, taking issue with the acting, pacing and bad eighties clothing.  This Hot Date may get heated!

Also on hand is the usual look at what our hosts have been watching and listening to lately, including 1960's Peeping Tom, the Mario Bava classic Kill Baby Kill, Ben Stiller's Zoolander 2 and the horror movie podcast Shock Waves (nee Killer POV).  And Vicky tells us why gay guys like the Charlene song "I've Never Been to Me."

Space out with Forbidden World and Hot Date 29!
