Video Junkyard Podcast - EP 231 - Zardoz

Well, it doesn't take place in 2023 as meme culture would have you believe, but that doesn't mean that "Zardoz" isn't one of the craziest sci-fi movies ever. Welcome back to the Junkyard. It's 2023, and we're visiting the 23rd century where Sean Connery plays Burt Reynolds in a G-sting with suspenders, and that's the most reasonable decision John Boorman made in this 1974 "classic." In the future, Earth is ruled by Eternals, an advanced and secret sect of beings who reign over a savage group called Brutals. The Eternals have created a god named Zardoz to intimidate the Brutals, making them believe that killing is their natural state. However, Zed (Sean Connery), a Brutal warrior, challenges that assumption when he enters the Zardoz monument and is captured by an Eternal (Charlotte Rampling). There, he learns the truth about the Eternals and the false god that rules society. Join the conversation!
