| Crimson Tide (1995) is a masterclass but is it memorable? | 02 Apr 2025 | 00:52:30 | |
We rewound this '95 submarine thriller in tribute to the late, great Gene Hackman but we didn't expect to find it more relevant than ever 30 years later. Trouble with Russia? Check.

PART 2 OF 2: GB and AJ have rewound the cult classic Flash Gordon and continue to look at the music (early Public Service Broadcasting?), Star Wars connections, Rocky Horror comparisons and more Brian Blessed stories! Plus, a weird niche dive into Cornish tourist attractions just to make a small observation about a 3 second moment in the movie! Then of course, it's ranking time.

GB hosts the Fast Forward show to find out what happened after the release of Flash Gordon in 1980. Whose hand is that at the end of the movie? How could they return from death for not only a sequel but a TRILOGY!? In this show I look at the original (wacky AF but brilliant) ending planned for the movie that WAS shot, how it would have led to more movies, the Life After Flash documentary, the tragedy of Peter Wyngarde, why Flash is now more offensive than ever (officially) and some terrible Flash-related music.
