He'll save every one of us!! The boys finally cover our favorite 80s HBO mainstay, Flash Gordon. Flash and the gang face off against the glorious villain Ming the Merciless (who could easily take Thanos's lunch money). There's ridiculous special effects, very short Hawk-Men shorts, and a Queen soundtrack that will crush your face. We promise this will be the best 52 min, 28 sec of your day.

We're throwing in an extra "episode" this week to fill the hole created by our new release schedule. Shiny new episodes start in a few days, but in the meantime, we humbly ask all y'all to revisit this very special episode in the show's history. A personal favorite of both your hosts, this review of the glorious Superman 2 really represented a turning point in the development of the podcast. Grumpy Nostalgia started to come together after this one and it was the first episode we actually felt confident enough to ask people to listen to. We were probably wrong.

One episode couldn't do this one justice, so the boys present a special two-parter in order to squeeze in all the pew pew pews, the red sateen, the tiny tiny
Hawk Men shorts, and more cheese than we deserve. Plus, we share our takes on some famous ambiguous endings in film.
