Monster Conversation Ray Harryhausen Annual #2: ‘Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger’

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! To celebrate Ray Harryhausen's birthday (and their birthdays), Nate is joined by the “Littlest Gatekeeper,” Elijah Thomas of Kaiju Conversation, to continue their yearly series discussing the filmography of the stop-motion master. Today, it's 1977's Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. (Classic rock and Rocky III references, anyone?) It’s the third in the unconnected Sinbad trilogy from Columbia Pictures and stars John Wayne’s son, Dr. Quinn, and the Second Doctor (Who). This was Nate and Elijah’s first time watching the film. Elijah managed not to fall asleep this time—but that doesn’t mean he liked it! We’re prepared for angry letters. :P
