RiffTrax Presents: Flash Gordon Part One (2021)

Larry "Buster" Crabbe, Sam J Jones - These are the actors one automatically thinks of whenever "Flash Gordon" is mentioned. But the name Steve Holland is always said in hushed tones - or maybe not at all, since you probably never heard of him. Now, it's time to join him on his adventures in the post-war TV series as his ship, the Skyflash, blasts off for the far-flung planet - Earth. The series was filmed in post-WWII West Germany, which means that most of the bit-players don't speak English, they just phonetically mime an English-speaker reading their lines off-camera. So there's that to look forward to, along with Flash, Dale and Zarkov battling aliens so crappy they make the special effects in Plan 9 look like CGI. Place your trust in Ian and Matthew to guide you through the unfamiliar territory of Flash Gordon - West German Style.
