EP. 371 — Sinbad of the Seven Seas LIVE! w/ Jessica St. Clair

Honorary fourth host Jessica St. Clair returns to help Jason and Paul cover the 1989 Lou Ferrigno vehicle Sinbad of the Seven Seas—a movie that lies about being based on an Edgar Allan Poe story. LIVE from Boise, the gang discuss all the wild ADR, if Disney’s Aladdin ripped off this movie, Italian talking snakes, how Sinbad inflated a hot air balloon simply by blowing into it, and so much more. Plus, Jessica reveals how the film reignited a primal sexual awakening and gives her theory on the best way to kill a zombie.

We are live at the Tree Fort Music Festival to talk about a little film called Sinbad of the Seven Seas, which shockingly came out in 1989, 1989, 1 year before 1990.
