You re right, size doesn t matter, especially when talking about Classic Sci Fi! And this week we re doing just that as we que up the (1966) outer space gone inner space tale FANTASTIC VOYAGE Starring Stephen Boyd, Donald Pleasence and Raquel Welch. Set in the late 60 s as both the space race and cold war loomed, it tells the story of Stephen Boyd, who heads a team of scientists sent on a bizarre experimental mission. Through a revolutionary and as-yet-untested process, the scientists and their special motorized vehicle are miniaturized, then injected into the blood stream of a near-death scientist. Their mission is to relieve a blood clot caused by an assassination attempt. One member of the expedition is bent on sabotage so that the scientist s secrets will die with him. The film s Oscar-winning visual effects chart the progress of the voyagers through the scientist s body, burrowing past deadly antibodies, chunks of tobacco residue in the lungs, and other such obstacles. Fantastic Voyage was later spun off into a Saturday-morning cartoon series Gotta thank Dan Rodgers for inviting us to revisit this one from long ago. Listen to see where the conversation takes us and just HOW much we agree on whether or not this one stands the test of time. All of that plus our Top 3 Movie Crews
