Show Notes
Our final patrons' choice episode for 2025 is the 1982 VHS relic The Flight of Dragons from TV special animation legends Rankin/Bass. Based loosely on the speculative science book by Peter Dickinson and the fantasy novels of Gordon R. Dickson, the film sends the author insert character on a quest to save a magical realm from the suffocating encroachment of mankind's science. Along the way, Peter will meet wizards, dragons, a winsome princess, and an evil sorcerer voiced by James Earl Jones. But is it a forgotten classic that deserves to be in a domed nostalgic magic nature reserve, or should it be consigned to the straight-to-video bargain bin? Find out!
