Oldie But A Goodie

We are revisiting our comic-reading youth this week as we check out 1976's 'The Twelve Tasks of Asterix'. Based on the classic French comic books, we head off on an adventure with our two favourite Gauls, Asterix and Obelix, to thwart Julius Caesar and the rest of those pesky Romans by performing a bunch of impossible tasks. Expect large servings of wild boar, magic potion, fourth-wall breaking, racism (oops, these comics are a little dated), and us reminiscing about our childhood.

#262: Dolemite (1975)

It's 1975 and we're reviewing one of the biggest surprise hits of that year... Rudy Ray Moore's Dolemite! He's a stand-up comedian who co-wrote, produced, and semi-directed his own blaxploitation crime movie. It's filled with flat line deliveries, cameos from multiple boom mics, a plot that is pretty hard to follow, and heaps more karate than either of us were expecting.

#264: Damnation Alley (1977)

Hey, remember Star Wars? The first one that came out in 1977 and surprised everyone, becoming a massive hit and changing Hollywood forever? Well, we're not reviewing Star Wars. No, we're reviewing the movie that 20th Century Fox was banking on being the hit of the year instead of Star Wars. It's called Damnation Alley! Very loosely based on a novel by Roger Zelazny, this tells the story of a bunch of people trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. There's a cool car in it, a bunch of giant scorpions, and a teenage Jackie Earle Haley!
