And just like that, we’re at 300 episodes of Comic Timing! It only took over twenty years, but what a milestone it is. And to celebrate this achievement…an episode of the podcast! But an anticipated one nonetheless, as Gold Team finally convenes for their Retro Movie Review of the 1968 cult classic…Barbarella! Jane Fonda’s sole turn in the realm of sci-fi with a whole load of sexual innuendo, undertones and overtones to go along with it. But Murd pulled a gem out of his hat with this selection, as the bones for this movie can certainly still be felt in sci-fi cinema today, and a score that will get stuck in your head for days. And it’s based on a French comic book series by Jean-Claude Forest, which certainly validates its inclusion in this series of episodes. We then go into some recent reads, recently watched media such as Lanterns (no spoilers), Carrie and Wicker, and more!
