The Land That Time Forgot

Allister Thompson returns to Derry and Toms as we hurtle back to 1918 and brave the cold waters of the Atlantic to take a look at The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs, subject of Michael Moorcock's sole filmed movie script (along with James Cawthron of course).
Expect discussions about mysterious island tropes, personal propensities to cannibalism, dodgy theories of race and C Thomas Howell!
Allister's latest release (at time of posting this at least) is Apocalypse Man by Khan Tengri and it includes a nice Moorcockian track too.

I watched Warlords of Atlantis the other day, think I recorded it off Legend. Interestingly Doug McLures character was also the builder/pilot of the bathyscope used in the expedition. This brought back fond memories!

Ah yes, he was! He had that look to be fair. Engineer/battling hero

@@breakfastintheruinspodcast engineer/hero/ irresistible to all females 🤣. I started to watch a film with him in it (Bermuda triangle paranormal shenanigans) god awful character, misogynistic as per the normal but also a bit of a perv. I had to turn it off 😄

I've been wondering for ages. What is Derry and Tom's?

[@breakfastintheruinspodcast]

It's a rooftop garden cafe above what was an old department store in London that is sadly no longer open to the public. It featured in a few Moorcock novels, usually the site of interactions between characters - most notably the novel Breakfast in the Ruins
