Bob Furmanek, Greg Kintz, and Sean Thrunk from the 3D Film Archive join the podcast to discuss the 70th-anniversary restoration of the 1953 3D film ROBOT MONSTER. The film stars George Nader, Claudia Barrett, and Greg Moffett as the boy. Shot in four days on a budget of $16,000, the film earned a million dollars at the box office and has endured despite being labeled the second-worst film of all time.
3D Film Archive founder Bob Furmanek details how he found the 3D assets to the film back in 1990 and the 30-plus-year journey he's taken to restore the film and bring it to the market. Technical director Greg Kintz reveals the challenges they faced in the restoration process, including the immense work involved in reviving the 3D effects of this enduring film. And extras producer Sean Thrunk discusses the two new documentaries he created for the release.
Bob, Greg, and Sean then delve into what fans can expect in the rest of the two-plus hours of exciting extras included in the DVD and Blu-ray release from Bayview Entertainment. Bob also previews the upcoming graphic novel and other merchandising projects in the works. And the group discusses some recent theatrical showings and the enthusiastic fan response.
We wrap up with an update from Bob about the 3D Film Archive's upcoming release schedule, including an exclusive update about the eagerly anticipated "Bwana Devil" 3D release.
