Episode 181: Hidden Gems part 2

Way back in January 2021, your Planet 8 crew did an episode called Hidden Gems, where we covered films we each loved, but had not been well-received at the time of their release. Well, five years later, we're doing it again! This episode, we're taking a look at films we hold dear, but didn't do well at the box office, or weren't critical successes (or both). Here's our selections:

Karen: The 13th Warrior

Bob: Matango (aka Attack of the Mushroom People)

Larry: Batman v. Superman Dawn of Justice

That's about as diverse a grouping of films as you could get! We'll discuss why we love the films, provide some background, and explain the fate of each. Have you seen all of these films? Do you like them? What do you think -are they gems, or are they trash? Let us know! 

Our Sensor Sweep shines a light on what we're up to and what we've been purchasing. Karen shares a couple of gaming books - the Planet of the Apes roleplaying game Solo adventures book, and the Shadowdark roleplaying game book. Maybe she'll even get to use them some day! Bob is super busy with Godzillafest , coming in September. But he's had time to get a Bandai Godzilla figure as well as an Ultraman 60th Anniversary book. Larry just had his birthday and shares a number of cool gifts, including a Dr. Zaius mug, a Valley of Gwangi soundtrack CD, a Gill Creep figure from Coffin Creeps, and a 'Patty' bigfoot footcast from Coral Palms Cottage on Etsy. If any of these things sound interesting to you, be sure to check out our YouTube video!

We hope you enjoy this episode. Let us know some hidden gems of your own!
