Ridicule is nothing to be scared of, which is probably for the best, as Adam Ant earned a fair bit of it for his role in this post-apocalyptic action movie. The product of veteran journeyman director Lee H Katzin, it also stars Bruce Dern in a role he literally does not remember filming as the last hippie, fighting against the diminutive Man and his army of bad choirboys. No, really.
This week we’re joined by the Cymreig Samurai himself, Ben Jones, as we discuss how Adam Ant’s cult nearly had a very different book as their inspiration, and get the idea for a guaranteed smash-hit range of action figures. Ben also astonishes Graham with a pop movie even he hasn’t heard of, and we discuss the intimate secrets of Pinocchio’s anatomy. The film sends you down some strange paths, OK?
