On July 29th, 1983, Colombia Pictures released Krull, their attempt at the space opera genre Star Wars made popular and profitable back in 1977. By the early 80s, every studio had rushed out their very own Star Wars-esk franchise starter, only to crash, burn and be forgotten years and decades after their releases. Krull was unfortunately one such attempt, an action adventure pulled straight outta someone's Dungeons and Dragons campaign and onto celluloid. If only Krull didn't release only three weeks after Return of The Jedi, the third and (for the time being) final entry in the Star Wars trilogy (at the time).
On this episode, Liam Wolfe is joined by stand up comic and fellow media geek Mark Yobs for a deep dive into the cheesy, wildly campy universe of Krull. Space opera cheese, future predicting cyclopes, "the Glaive", dubbed over actresses, massive budgets and set design, disgruntled directors and...fire mares? This is the surreal world of Krull this week on BOMBED!
