Wizards of the Lost Kingdom

This riff was previously released in a 4:3 Standard Definition version. It has been upgraded to a newer HD 16:9 source.

From the deepest, darkest, most sorcerously stained corner of the video store, in the “mid-80s fantasy movies trying to trick you into thinking they were kind of like Star Wars" section, it’s Wizards of the Lost Kingdom!

Yes, it’s hard to believe now, but in the '80s people were still pretty obsessed with Star Wars. With Roger Corman producing movies back then, you just know he had to get in on that sweet action. And oh, how the world has changed since then!

Wizards of the Lost Kingdom brings the knock-off heat: A roguish but charming scoundrel who can’t help but do the right thing: Check! A giant hairy monster mess of a best friend who makes digestive sounds to communicate: Check! A whiny unlikable kid prodigy who’s the son of a more famous magic type: Check, with extra unlikeability! A thrilling plot full of amazing special effects and edge-of-your-seat action: uh… did we mention the furry digestive sounds guy?

Wizards of the Lost Kingdom is like six different movies in one, in the sense that it was seemingly cobbled together from at least six different movies into one not-at-all cohesive whole! And it stars Bo Svenson, who you may recognize from small parts in some Tarantino movies, the kind of small parts in Tarantino movies actors get because they were once in obscure movies like Wizards of the Lost Kingdom. The film business is confusing!

Finders keepers, losers weepers — sorry, Wizards, but it’s our Kingdom now! Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for the tour of an ancient Spencer’s Gifts store that is Wizards of the Lost Kingdom!
