35:17 – Schlock Express is back with a no-frills lockdown episode. From plastic bikinis and clunky robots to space heroes with drawn on moustaches, we take a look into the wild world of Italian Star Wars knock offs.
Kicking off with The Humanoid and its cast of James Bond veterans, we move on to possibly the high point of this sub-genre with the magnificently surreal Starcrash before plumbing the depths with Alfonso Brescia’s poverty stricken space opera, Star Odyssey.
