Welcome all to Planet 8! On this episode, your crew takes a look at the three film adaptations of the H.G. Wells novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau. We start with the atmospheric 1932 version, Island of Lost Souls, move into the updated 1977 film, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and then briefly discuss the trainwreck that was the 1996 version, also titled Island of Dr. Moreau. We discuss the themes of the work, the similarities and differences of the films, what worked and what didn't. We hope you enjoy our discussion!

For our Sensor Sweep, Karen shares that this is also a cross-over episode with her YouTube channel, Echoes from the Satellite (https://www.youtube.com/@EchoesfromtheSatellite), as she will be discussing the Wells novel on her latest episode! So bounce over there and check that out.

Bob is diligently preparing for the Godzillafest film festival, which occurs July 18-20th. And big news -they will be showing Godzilla Minus One -twice! Be sure to go over to https://www.godzillafest.com/ to get details and buy your tickets. And don't forget the Godzillafest convention, coming in September!

Meanwhile, Larry has been spending time with the talented Jeff Wehenkel, who restored Larry's "Tingler" (get those dirty thoughts out of your mind), as well as gifting him a beautiful Pirates of the Caribbean model. Larry also shared a cool Godzilla bust from Michael Regan - although it was named Bob - you need to listen to get the story.

That's all for now folks. Stay safe, stay cool, and remember, not to go on all fours, that is The Law!

Aloha!

This episode, the Planet 8 crew and our honorary crew member, Lord Blood-Rah, take a trip back to the days before the internet, back when the only way we got any news about the latest sci fi films or learned about how all the great movies we loved were made, was through magazines. Yes, we had to go to the bookstore, or the liquor store, or even the smoke shop, to find the periodicals that gave us a peak at the new Star Trek movie, or that Vampirella story, or that amazing Godzilla article. They also gave us a sense of community. Through the pages of Starlog, Famous Monsters, The Monster Times, and others, we heard from people like us from all over the world, who loved the same things we did.

We'll share some of our favorite mags from years gone by. This would be a great episode to check out on our YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@Planet8Podcast! There you can see the magazines we're talking about. We'll cover all the ones you'd imagine, and probably a bunch you may not be thinking of, or have even heard of! Hopefully, for those of you who loved back in those days before the internet, it will be a great blast from the past. And for you youngsters, it will seem like a trip to another world!

For the Sensor Sweep, we suggest you check out Lord Blood-Rah's YouTube channel, where you will find all his great programs like Captain Paxar's Star Cadet Hour! You can learn about it all by going to lordbloodrah.com.

Karen is up to 8 episodes on her YouTube channel, Echoes from the Satellite. Most recently, she looked at the Apple TV adaptation of the Murderbot book series. You can find it here.

Bob shared a monster magazine from Denmark, and a great issue of Cinefantastique. He also shared a book called Fantastic Monsters of the Films, which reprints all of the magazines by the same name, by Bob Burns and Paul Blaisdell. Convention tickets are now on sale for Godzillafest. You can go to Godzillafest.com to buy tickets and get more information.

Larry shared a new favorite figure, a Marvel legends Rom the Spaceknight. He also just got a Lancelot Link DVD set - so you can guess what we may be talking about soon!

We may have to do another episode on magazines! Be sure to let us know about your favorites.
