Pod Stallions 60: The Martian Chronicles

[RSS]

We're back with an all new show!

This month's episode is devoted to Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles", not the book so mentioned (although it is mentioned) but the epic three evening NBC mini series from 1980 starring Rock Hudson!

Topics include childhood fears, TV Spider-Man, cheap-o Rack Toys, Arthur C Clarke, Starlog, poster collecting, ventriloquist dummies, Barry Morse and much, much more.

So journey with us to the red planet!

Loved the mini-series and the toys. (You could almost hear the bee gun buzzing.)

Loved the Mini series ... never heard of the figures until the mid 90's

I have never seen the mini-series, but the pics of the figures have haunted me since I got the big Tomart's Action Figure Guide Book in the 90s. Fun episode! All the usual digressions were very entertaining.

I too was quite a wuss back in the day, so at least I'm in good company. Those Magic commercials terrified me!

Great episode! I remember watching the special when it first aired. It was a family event as my parents and brother watch it with me each night.

I remember watching it when it was first broadcast. Some truly memorable scenes!
I still revisit it on DVD occasionally.

Agreed, it has it's moments, I particularly love the expeditions.
