Joe Rogan | This is What Flash Gordon Thought About the Future

Then I get on that elliptical machine and now I'm doing the elliptical, you know, for the universe like Flash Gordon. You're letting motherfuckers know. I'm saving the planet. Did you ever watch the old Flash Gordon from the 1950s? Nope. That was on a plane recently. The person I saw was the shitty one in the 80s. I was on a plane, not really recently, I guess more like a couple of years ago, and they had one of those video catalogs so you could just watch stuff. Yeah. I think it was an international flight. Yeah. It was like when I had old TV shows and it had Flash Gordon. Yeah. I watched a bunch of episodes of Flash Gordon. It was wild man. It was weird. It was weird to watch. Yeah. It's weird to watch what people thought like space was going to be like and aliens. It's so strange. Yeah. I mean I think Flash Gordon was probably from the 50s. Right? It was a comic book, wasn't it? Yes. Yeah. It was originally a comic book. See if you can get, pull up video of- They need to remake that footage. I found photos of the green room in the punchline. I was looking for that Hicks line. Oh, we've showed that before. I wish they would remake Flash Gordon and make it a comedy, but keep the soundtrack because it's Queen. I think- Bohemian Rhapsody is huge. Queen's huge right now. Keep the exact same soundtrack. Make Flash Gordon a comedy. Jack Black, get the- Well, you're thinking of a Flash Gordon in the movie now. Yeah, the movie. That's the movie. I'm sorry, the movie. Wait, wait, wait. There's the original Flash Gordon with Ming the Merciless. Ming the Merciless. Look at him. Clitos, I'm bored. Look at him. How weird does he look? Look at Flash. That's what they thought. People are going to be wearing weird neck collars in the future and belt buckles. Right. It's such a strange look, man. Yeah, just a lightning bolt on your chest. Pull up a video of it so you can watch a video because it's so weird to watch. Because it looks like- What year did it say? 56? 54 to 55. Wow. Ming the Merciless. It's so- This is where he like- It's so shitty. Like, the special effects were so bad. Oh, this is not even the movie. This is the- I know. But I mean, I'm saying, the claim jumpers, Steve Holland does Flash Gordon, Irene Champlin. Dale Arden. Look, she's hot. She's hot. She's hot in a real way. Yeah. There was no neck. There was no faking it back then. Dr. Zarkov. So, yeah, same care. I've not seen this though. So this was a whole TV show. Yeah, man. How many episodes do you think they made? If I had a guess, I bet they made 50 or something like that. Yeah, look at that. She's hot. Look at that shirt. TZ. Look at that guy. Looks like a drill. Yeah, I know. She's holding a drill. Women back then all had flat butts unless they did gymnastics. That's right. Unless there's some freak of nature accident. Uh-huh. And that is some sort of weird gilder. That's so stupid looking. That's a jackhammer. You know what that looks like, Jimmy? A handheld jackhammer. It looks like that Tim Tam, that Theragun. That's what it looks like right there. What is that? This thing. This is a thing- It's for massage. Oh, shit. See, like, if you go to the- That looks like it would hurt. It's gonna go all the way. May I? Yes. You probably shouldn't do it right in front of the microphone like I did. It's great. It doesn't hurt. It's real good for loosening up muscles. Yeah. That's what they had. Good Lord. Yeah, that's their weapon. It's me. I'm gonna punch you in the face real fast. It's always weird seeing what people thought the future was gonna be like once the future really hits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
