Ep. 14 Wizards (1977)

Necron 99. Robot, Assassin, Destroyer of Magic.

A failed Saturday Morning cartoon pitch gets expanded and treated to a full-on big screen adaptation, but one of the most self-aggrandizing (but talented) used car salesmen of animation- Ralph Bakshi. In a post-apocalyptic Earth, Fairies, Elves, Gnomes, return and magic returns to the land. Two special children are born- Wizards, brothers- one good, one bad, and destined to confront each other for the fate of the world. Tune in as Chris waxes on about “serious animation,” cutting corners, and planned sequels as the LSCE screens the animated cult film “Wizards.” Join us.
