About this episode

The episode features a discussion on the film Stargate with guest Diana McCallum, exploring its editing and performances.

This week we're joined by the de-lovely Diana McCallum to discuss the thinking man's blockbuster: Stargate ! We discuss how Ra was saved in the edit, consider a rare non-villain-ish role for James Spader, and wonder how many lines Kurt Russell actually had. (Less than 10? (Less than 5?))
