Dust off your leather armour and polish your glaives, it's time for high fantasy this week. Plus, erm, dinosaurs. Film-maker James T Williams returns to discuss a couple of childhood faves. We check out Krull (1983), directed by Peter Yates, and Planet of Dinosaurs (1977), directed by James K. Shea. Wizards, alien slugs, giant spiders, baby-faced Liam Neesons, stop-motion dinosaurs, possibly stop-motion actors... there's no end to the sense of wonder in this week's episode!
We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Krull by skipping ahead to the 1:08:50 mark, and for Planet of Dinosaurs by skipping ahead to 1:33:57.
Watch James T Williams' excellent short film, Irrefutable Evidence here. James' other films can be found on YouTube at Joefest and Mr Glass Productions, and his 2007 feature, Waiting for Dawn is freely available here.
