Shoutout to whoever chooses the podcast art for the ranged touch bonus pods

Kyle Schlahta

Probably already on the list, but I would LOVE a bonusode on Ridley Scott's Legend.

Lucas

Good ep. I really liked hearing your thoughts on more than just the movie, but on LotR and how you see it relating to BotNS; looking forward to more. Also, cool genre films that may work well for bonusodes somewhat related to BotNS but also I dunno: • Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) • Mad Max (1979) • Excalibur (1981) • Dragonslayer (1981)

Ryan Johansen

Another contribution to the experimentalism of this film: Treebeard's gait.

Begemott

You guys should do The Neverending Story again. Cover it from a different angle this time.

David Bednar

Okay, here's the thing: Vampire Hunter D is a 1985 anime film about a sickass goth vampire in the year 12,000 when all of humanity has been reduced to medieval peasants by their horrible vampire lords. Its as close to what I imagine BotNS's world looks like as possible-- in fact, the character designer, Yoshitaka Amano (yes! the same that works on Final Fantasy!) also did the covers for the Japanese editions of BotNS. BUT-- and this is just outside your scope, but I think its WELL worth your breaking rules for this-- In 2000, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is essentially a redo at the same source material, gorgeously directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (who did some of the best segments of The Animatrix among other great 90s films and OVAs), its just such a wonderful gorgeous fundamental upgrade and one of the last great cel animated anime films... look, compare the trailers, I think you'll agree, this fits, I hope you consider it!

David Bednar

Anyway, I loved this episode. I had a lot of both the Rankin Bass Hobbit and Bakshi's Lord of the Rings in my childhood; I think the way it uses live action to both become more naturalistic and more uncanny is fascinating. Great discussion! The Last Unicorn absolutely holds up on a revisit, hope you can spare the time sometime. Thank you!

Nigel Spudes

Thoughts on possible sf/fantasy movie bonusodes: Phase IV (1974), Horror Express (1972) [interesting precursor to Carpenter's Thing adaptation mixed with a Trans-Siberian train mystery], Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971) [really interesting hippie countercultural/environmentalist take on Godzilla that tragically got its director blackballed in the Japanese film industry for being so radically outside of what the series had done up to that point].

Nigel Spudes

Also, things that would fit well but were outside of the date range: Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters (1968) [Super stylish Japanese practical effects film about yokai who help the residents of a tenement get revenge after a greedy land developer drives them out of their home to demolish it for a massive profit.], Viy (1967) [Soviet folk horror/comedy/fantasy film with great practical effects about a young philosphy student who runs afoul of a witch and the demons she can summon while on break from the seminary where he lives.], Quatermass and the Pit (1967), Planet of the Vampires (1965) [Mario Bava-directed space horror (not about real vampires) that was a huge influence on Alien (1979)], X, the Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963) [Very fun movie but possibly better served in connection to Just King Things because of the Danse Macabre connection.]

A sudden absence of bees

"This podcast is marked as private Access to the content of this podcast is limited to private subscribers only" is what I see when opening the episode from the rss feed (same happens with the King bonus feed)

Yumewaru

Have u tried “follow show by url”? Not sure how that works elsewhere, but im able to add the bonus feeds on apple podcast app that way.

Ranged Touch

You'll need to manually add it to whatever your podcast catcher is.

Ranged Touch

I'm not sure! It could be that Feedly won't accept it because of the indexing function that is locked off in the private feed - I think Feedly wants public feeds only. I think you'll need to use a different podcatcher. Sorry!

A sudden absence of bees

Fair enough. At least the posts work as a reminder that a new episode is out

2026-09-07 04:00 My suggestions are: -Ladyhawke (1985) -The Last Unicorn (1982) As a genre fiction nerd raised by genre fiction nerds, those two movies were a huge part of my childhood, and I think they represent interesting touchpoints for fantasy movies in the 80s. They also both are part of what I would describe as, for lack of a better term, "women's fantasy," which I feel often gets left out of these kinds of genre discussions. Fantasy that's less directly influenced by Lord of the Rings and that's still in more of the fairy-tale mode, with a greater emphasis on the Romantic (in multiple sense of the word.) Including more stories in that mode would help give a broader view of the fantasy genre as a whole, I think. People often conflate all of fantasy with "epic fantasy," which I think does a disservice to the possibilities that exist within the genre.

Also "litten" is 100% the name of a pokemon (#725, fire starter from Sun/Moon)

Mike

gah I can't add newlines on my phone. Ok, so I will assume you already have Zardoz, but if you don't then that's my vote. Otherwise it's Tarkovsky's Stalker, and if you already had that, then it's Galaxy Express 999 (1979 original Japanese release, 129 mins, subtitled. there are other versions). Thank you for making great stuff.

MuttonBandit

Selfishly pulling from my own watchlist, and remembered snippets from HMTW about Book of the New Sun, I think Wings of Desire would be an interesting bonusode. Also I''ve recently heard of Black Moon which is about a woman escaping the an apocalyptic gender based war in rural France, from 1975. You're all doing great work as always, thanks!

Kel White

I would love love if they do the Last Unicorn!

Kel White

Maybe not for a bonusodes because this would be a bit more of a lift, but after this first episode I would love it for y’all to cover a few different adaptations? A few people have already mentioned The Last Unicorn, doing the book and the movie would be really fun and interesting. Same with other stuff like Howl’s Movie Castle - the book especially would be interesting to talk about in context of BotNS and the fantasy genre.

Kel White

also please do a full audio play of that One Chapter I think it would be so fantastic. (I did get a huge grin on my face when I saw that page in the book, knowing I would get to hear Michael talk about it ahaha)

Richard

It's a little early on the timeline (1971), but a couple months ago I watched THX 1138 with a friend and had an incredible time. I think it could make for a pretty interesting episode!

Mike

if you don't want to do anything anyone's recommended then do Willow because it's great

Michael Hansen

+1 for Zardoz and Tarkovsky's Stalker!

Tim Mulry

Severian is basically channeling The Jerk from the movie The Jerk (1979). So that's my recommendation.

Matt Broadey

I think Angel’s Egg (1985) would make a wonderful bonusode, there are vibes and themes in that film which I feel are really of a kind with BotNS.

JennySighs

I will never pass up a chance to recommend checking out 1982 The Flight of Dragons, simply because that Rankin & Bass fantasy where everything is gnarled and gnobbled has influenced my imagination since I first saw it. And it has two characters who get merged into one and a fight with a mace-wielding giant in a castle, so there's at least a tenuous connection beyond pure genre.

Audrey Billings

So does every “Fantasy” movie of the 80s only mean movies where the wardrobe people procured many puffy-sleeved shirts or does it include the Back to the Future films? Has this already been discussed in the discord? I hope this is not interpreted as a “is a hot dog a doctoral thesis” type question because I sincerely feel as though that trilogy is more fantasy than sci-fi. Also, yes, the whole trilogy because the 80s didn’t end until April 8, 1994.

Ɔ. Martiana (SARTRIX)

Between Borges, D&D and Caves of Qud, these bonusodes are really some of y'all's best work.

Robert Wilson

Is Uzumaki not showing for anyone else?

Hugh Diviny

Please make a dedicated Gene Wolfe podcast.

Ranged Touch

If you're using the Patreon app, it's a cache issue. I'd strongly recommend plugging the RSS into a podcatcher of your choice.

John Salsa

If you want a movie that went Crude and Forgot the Technical at home: Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man might be worth a watch. It's dumb but I think it's almost a cyberpunk movie without the computers and chrome. Alternately, Double Dragon has a real Panther Modern type aesthetic that might be worth a review.

Andrew M

Since I'm here already, please do that Five Armies edit

Thomas Kramer

This makes me so fucking happy! Thank you for this LoTR + Jet Lee = 🤤😉

Matthew Eisele

I've always thought this too!!! The crazy thing is, the artist behind Angel Egg did the Japanese cover art for BotNS before they worked on Angel Egg.

JDE

Love the Rankin Bass stuff. Real pivotal childhood stuff for me. One I'd love to see covered is Flight of Dragons. A slightly deep cut in the R/B catalog

Dylan Stickler

I want to suggest the Disney show Dragon Striker for a future bonusode for obvious reasons. Here is the plot description - Follows Key, a twelve-year-old farm boy who discovers he may be the legendary "Dragon Striker", and joins a team of underdogs to take on the school champions, while fighting to prevent an ancient evil from resurfacing.
