This week, Art and Erik descend into the molten madness of At the Earth's Core (1976), where Victorian adventurers drill their way into a lava-lit land of psychic bird overlords, and enslaved mole people. It's a pulp sci-fi fever dream full of sweaty heroics, rubber-suit monsters, and Peter Cushing acting acting up a storm!
We're talking flamethrower frogs, suggestive plants, and Erik's theory about the influence of this film on a certain, well-known director!
Along the way, we dig into creature design, 70s sci-fi andcomplicated Pellucidorian mating rituals!
And one actor wins one of our coveted awards!
