This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, we have the power! With Paul and Scott away once again, Rob is joined by returning guests Marc Parslow and Mark Bearling to take a trip to Eternia and revisit the cult fantasy adventure Masters of the Universe.

Thursday, February 26, 2026 • Duration 01:04:11

This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, we’re heading to Isla Nublar to revisit one of the most groundbreaking blockbusters of all time — Jurassic Park (1993). With Scott somehow missing the flight to Jurassic Park (probably stuck arguing about carry-on luggage limits), Paul and Rob are joined by returning favourite Marc “Wax on, wax off” Parslow for a prehistoric deep dive.

We explore how Steven Spielberg blended cutting-edge CGI with animatronics to bring dinosaurs roaring back to life, changing cinema forever. From the awe-inspiring Brachiosaurus reveal to the nerve-shredding T-Rex attack and the kitchen showdown with the Velociraptors, we break down the film’s most iconic sequences and why they still hold up more than 30 years later.

Marc brings sharp insight, plenty of trivia, and his trademark enthusiasm as we debate the film’s themes of scientific hubris, corporate greed, and whether we’d have ignored Ian Malcolm’s warnings too. We also talk John Williams’ unforgettable score, the cast performances, and how Jurassic Park became a cultural phenomenon that defined 90s cinema.

From Queen’s iconic synth-driven soundtrack to Ming the Merciless chewing the scenery with imperial menace, we dive deep into what makes Flash Gordon such a cult classic. We discuss its comic-strip visuals, over-the-top performances, and the sheer confidence it takes to deliver lines like “Gordon’s alive?!” with a straight face. Is it cheesy? Absolutely. Is that exactly why it works? Also absolutely.

We also explore the film’s origins in the classic pulp serials, its lasting influence on pop culture, and why it continues to win over new fans decades later. Expect plenty of laughs, nostalgic affection, and a healthy appreciation for wings, spiked outfits, and sky-sled battles.
