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.

30:51 – The Schlock Express is back to look at cinematic portrayals of the Devil and all his works. We kick off with a continental excursion to get ‘Nude for Satan’, followed by some home counties deviltry with ‘Satan’s Slave’, before winding up by looking into ‘The Eye of Satan’, another ultra low-budget outing from Cliff Twemlow and his merry Manchester direct-to-video crew.
