Torture Cinema #92: Starcrash (1978/79)

The Hass, chauvinist robots, and Italians, oh my! In a Torture Cinema podcast that meanders almost as much as the movie, Shaun Duke, Jen Zink, and Trish Matson get together to discuss this month’s Patreon selection, Starcrash! Not only do the team discuss everything from the truly awful logic to the surprising inclusion of an… uhhh… active female protagonist, we also introduce a new segment to Torture Cinema called, “What is Paul’s Like?” Make sure you listen, because it includes some of the absolute best aspects of this truly terrible film.

We hope you enjoy the episode!

I saw this thing in the theater… twice. Even eight-year-old me was, “This is baaaaaad!” Not to mention, it double-billed with Star Wars (which a lot of theaters ran for over 100 weeks back then). The juxtaposition was… mildly noticeable.
