Show Notes
his week, we're continuing our journey through the fantastical world of Space Opera by looking at two of the most iconic figures from the 1930s: Flash Gordon (1936) and Buck Rogers (1939). These characters set the standard for thrilling space adventures and played a significant role in the rise of film serials.
Join us as we look back at the advent of these exciting serials and discuss the 'thrilling adventures' that captured the imaginations of audiences and laid the groundwork for the Space Opera genre as we know it today.
