episode 228: Ultra Q The Movie: Legend of the Stars (1990)
Byrd and Matt are joined by frequent guest Kevin Derendorf (Kaiju For Hipsters), as well as first time guests Jared Foust (Xenofauna) and translator Amanda Whalen to discuss 1990's Ultra Q the Movie: Legend of the Stars! This film update of the classic 60s television series has languished in obscurity for decades. Frustrated with the lack of a translation, this group of friends threw in money to have the film translated so this lesser discussed piece of Ultra history could finally be seen in the West. We discuss our efforts to get the film subtitled, and our overall impressions of the film itself. We'll also give our usual history, trivia and more! Relax and enjoy the discussion!
