The movie
Show notes
Wizards (1977) - directed by Ralph Bakshi is an animated post-apocalyptic fantasy movie that examines the war between technology and magic. What kind of family-friendly hijinks are in store for our party? How powerful is propaganda as a military weapon on the battlefield? Can good rise up to fight back against overwhelming evil? What kind of hat does a druid wear? Wh--wait why are there nazi symbols in this movie? Why is Hitler a character in this movie? Why does this movie put so much emphasis and character into the monstrous mutant nazis and then gives next to nothing in detail to the good guys? Oh no, this is a bad time. A real bad time. Thank heavens Mark Hamill shows up in this to save the day. This episode is longer than the movie itself, but you'll get Lord of the Rings jokes and an examination of why post-apocalyptic movies are an inspiring genre.
