“Saturn 3” Podcast Movie Review

Saturn 3 – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 113

“You flunked!”

Retentive technocrats Daniel and Corky come down from their blue dreamer trip to review Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel in Stanley Donen’s sloppy space opera Saturn 3. The film assembles an amazing armada of above-the-line talent for a passionless, murky and uninspired Adam and Eve in space parable.

Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss space chess strategy, robot birthing hips and inexplicable detonation buttons.

This week’s darer: [Redacted]

Why did [Redacted] dare Daniel and Corky to watch Saturn 3? “I don’t think you’ve yet reviewed a bad science fiction movie, of which there are so many choices. Going back to 1980: Saturn 3. Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel — what could be wrong with that combination? And Kirk Douglas does a nude scene!”

IMDB synopsis: “Two lovers stationed at a remote base in the asteroid fields of Saturn are intruded upon by a retentive technocrat from Earth and his charge: a malevolent eight foot robot.”
