Escape Hatch (formerly Dune Pod) Popeye (1980)
We welcome back star reporter and author of the bestselling biography Robin, Dave Itzkoff. We tackle Robin Williams’ first attempt at movie stardom, Robert Altman’s absolutely insane, cocaine fueled movie musical, featuring songs by the legendary Harry Nilsson, and filmed exclusively in a functional village that hundreds of carpenters built from scratch over a year, that 40 years later is still a standing tourist attraction on the isle of Malta, Popeye! What could go wrong? ONLY 4 EPISODES LEFT UNTIL THE END OF DUNE POD AND THE RELAUNCH OF THE PODCAST AS ESCAPE HATCH!
