Welcome back to Retro Fandango, the podcast where we dive into the weird, wild, and sometimes disastrous corners of retro cinema.This week, we’re taking a trip to a very strange island with the infamous 1996 remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau — a production so chaotic it’s become legendary. Starring Marlon Brando, Val Kilmer, and David Thewlis, this film is just as fascinating behind the scenes as it is on screen....
For this episode, Richard and Kevin look at Night of the Juggler. A movie Kevin knows nothing about, but Richard assures it is best to go in cold. We also talk about some Tarantino films, colds, Star Trek Voyager, and more!
For this episode, Richard and Kevin tackle The Silent Age! A point-and-click adventure game about Joe, a quiet janitor who gets pulled into a mission to stop humanity’s extinction. Using a time-traveling device, you jump between a bleak future and the present to solve environmental puzzles. The game stands out for its minimalist art style, eerie atmosphere, and slow-burn, melancholic story.
Sorcerer (1977), directed by William Friedkin, is a tense, gritty thriller about four desperate men hired to transport unstable explosives through a dangerous jungle. The film is slow-burning but relentlessly stressful, building dread through atmosphere rather than dialogue. Its practical stunts and harsh realism make it feel raw and exhausting in the best way. Often overlooked, Sorcerer is now considered a cult classic.
And, one of...

Looks like this is another episode that got stuck in a "draft vortex" and wasn't published. It was recorded 5 months ago and probably aged like fine milk, but... why let that stop me?
Remember when "Blame Canada" was a joke?
FYI, this is a very Trump-heavy episode. I'm finding it difficult to think about entertainment when my country is under attack.
One thing I'd like to correct:
When talking about the Canadian soldiers and the soup cans, I said "WW2" a couple of times when I meant "WW1." Sorry.
Here are some links that expand on what I talked about. Check these out for yourself. Go even further than the links I provide. Propaganda is hard for everyone ...

There are 46 minutes about the US election and 46 minutes about fun stuff. Split down the middle, like the voting-eligible population of America.
