Symptom 150: Flash Gordon
Symptom 150. Doesn’t’ seem like it has been that long, but it has. It has been a labor of love, certainly not profit. Here we are though, 150 Symptoms in and it is time to review the 1936 Flash Gordon serial. It’s a lot of fun. It is well paced, plot driven, well acted and with characters that you come to care about and enjoy. It is easy to see how this comic strip turned serial spawned two more serials before 1940, multiple movie adaptations and shows and has stayed part of American and world culture for 84 years.
