A silly take on the original radio series Flash Gordon. #FlashGordon #vintageradio
Starting April 22, 1935, and again in May 2022 the strip was adapted into The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon, a 26-episode weekly radio serial. The series followed the strip very closely, amounting to a week-by-week adaptation of the Sunday strip for most of its run. Flash Gordon was played by Tom Konkle, later famous for nothing in particular. The cast also includes Rhiannon McAfee as Dale Arden, Gino C. Vianelli as Captain Thune, Stephanie Stearns Dulli as the Witch Queen Azora, Pete Lutz as Sal. Pete Lutz heads the Narada Radio Company. Also starring Kurtis Bedford as Zug and starring Pete Handelman as the announcer and Hawkman with a hose. The original radio series broke with the strip continuity in the last two episodes, when Flash, Dale and Zarkov returned to Earth. We broke it completely after we did a faithful version of episode one. Edit and Sound effects by Tom Konkle
Directed by Tom Konkle. . Music by Bryan Arata. The show comedy version script by Tom Konkle. Producers Kurtis Bedford and Tom Konkle started the Mindstream Players.

NARRATOR (classic Pete H old school)
The Reasonably Amazing Interplanetary Adventures Of Flash Gordon!
For the benefit of those who were fortunate enough to have not heard our earlier four Mindstream episodes of Flash Gordon, Flash and Dale Arden were thrown onto the new planet, Mongo. The two Americans were sent to the terribly gentrified, prison city of the Hawkmen. In the wildly unpopular tournament of death, Flash Gordon wins the unconquered kingdom of the caves and sets out to subdue his domain. We now follow Flash Gordon in his attempt to enhance the curb appeal of the kingdom of the cave.

MUSIC BEGINS AGAIN
ANNOUNCER
Now, having picked up a company of King Voltan's Hawkman, the huge rocket ship bearing Flash and Dale to their new kingdom heads for the yawning mouth of Kira the wild and forbidding cave world. The veritable red-light district of Mongo if you will. Following Ming's map and instructions, Captain Thune steers a course for the Stronghold of Zug, the executive vice-president of the cavemen. The ship leaves the gloom of the first cave and enters another cave colossal in size and brilliantly lighted. They get out of the rocketship, realize the great danger they are about to face, go back, land the rocket ship first, and then get out of this time.
FLASH
Well Dale, we're here.
DALE
I know. I am standing here.
FLASH
It's visual. Bear with me, Dale. (beat) Oh! Oh! OH!
DALE
What? What is it?
FLASH
Thank you for asking. (under breath) You're getting this now.
(loudly)
Look Dale!
DALE
Ah. What a huge cave and look at all those little holes inside!
FLASH
Those must be the dwellings of my subjects.
DALE
Don't get a big head, Flash.
FLASH
Wait. Is all my kingdom like this?
CAPTAIN THUNE
I've never been inside before, your majesty.
DALE
Seriously Captain Thune?!? You're giving the tour.
CAPTAIN THUNE
Nobody has ever explored this strange underground world.
DALE
Look men are coming out of those holes in the cliffs. Some of them look a bit sheepish...even guilty. And yet, mostly, they are fierce looking men!
CAPTAIN THUNE
That powerful looking redheaded giant must be their leader we'll break the news to him, your majesty.
FLASH
Uh, him? The big one over there?
CAPTAIN THUNE
Yes, the twelve foot giant your majesty.
GIANT GROWLS
GIANT {ZUG}
Why you come, eh, eh, eh?
CAPTAIN Thune
His majesty, Flash, the ruler of these caves demands
FLASH
Oh, you don't need to keep calling me that in front of him, Thune.
CAPTAIN THUNE
Certainly. New, absolute ruler of all the cave dwelling people.
GIANT WALKS FASTER AND GROWLS
FLASH
Well, now let not be hasty. Let's introduce ourselves to him first, Thune.
CAPTAIN THUNE
Bend your knee oh red-haired one. This is mighty King Flash
FLASH
Oh. (nervous laugh) that's not necessary...uh Captain
GIANT GROWLS
GIANT (broken English)
Who you think you are?!
FLASH
I'll tell who he is, he's a captain. See? He's very important too. It's not just me throwing my weight around here.
CAPTAIN
And this is Flash, the first ruler and King of the all the cave world by order of Ming the Merciless, Emperor of Mongo.
GIANT
Who?
CAPTAIN THUNE
Ming. Ming the Merciless. The emperor of this world.
GIANT
We have an emperor?
CAPTAIN THUNE
Yes! Of course. You know. Ming. Ming the ruthless tyrant who rules the planet Mongo.
GIANT
Ah. Ah. What's a Mongo?
CAPTAIN THUNE (shouting)
What's a Mongo?!? Mongo is the planet your live on! Mongo is the name given to your world!
GIANT
I wouldn't name it Mongo.
CAPTAIN THUNE
It is Mongo. It's an agreed upon name now. It's Mongo. Where you live.
GIANT
Sounds like a made up word.
CAPTAIN THUNE
All words are made up! That's the thing about words! Look, you make up a word then you agree together that it means something. Right? Mongo is a made up word just like any other.
GIANT (like a caveman)
When we meet about that?
CAPTAIN THUNE
We didn't! It was decided a long time ago. It's Mongo. It's called Mongo. A made up name, yes. Silly, maybe. But ,this is a dictatorship under an Emperor called Ming. So good luck having some sort of retro-active Cave Community meeting about it at this point. The place ruled by the antagonistic Ming the Merciless!
GIANT
What's merciless about him?
CAPTAIN THUNE
What's merciless about Ming? Everything. Look, Flash is now your King-
GIANT
No! No king !
DALE
I agree. An emperor is a bit much already isn't it? You poor red-headed dear.
GIANT
Me crush. Me kill him!
DALE
Look he's picking up that stone! Oh! That reminds me of your testicles, Flash.
FLASH
You really think they are that large?
DALE
No, but they're just as dusty.
[STONE AND EARTH MOVING]
CAPTAIN THUNE
Drop that stone actually! This is a ray pistol which can dissolve you into pieces!
FLASH
Wait Thune! I'll not rule any man I can't beat in superficially fair combat.
GIANT
I will fight you!
WHOOSH of one PUNCH. LARGE THUD TO GROUND.
GIANT
Get up! Human.
FLASH (muffled him face is in the dirt)
No, I'm laying in wait! Like the devilish eel.
GIANT
What do you mean?
WHACK
CAPTAIN THUNE
Ow! Flash you hit me!!
FLASH
Sorry Thune. You leaned over to check on me, so I thought you were that enormous, red-bearded devil.
GIANT
I am stronger than you!
WHACK
GIANT
Hey! I wasn't ready for that Flash. You stronger. You Fastidious. You King!
GROWLS
FLASH
Thanks, I'll make you my right-hand man.
GIANT
Why? What do you do with your right-hand?
[distant howl]
DALE (clears throat)
I think we should run.
GIANT
It's that disgusting?
DALE
No. But now that you mention it, he was strangely drawn to all the holes in the cliffs on the way here.
FLASH
No, run! Run for your lives.
CAPTAIN THUNE
He comes!
DALE
I know.
GIANT
The eater of men!
FLASH
Leave Dale out of this!
DISTANT LIZARD ROARS IN THE CAVE. LUMBERING TOWARDS US
DALE
What's that big lizard monster!?
FLASH
Let's go Dale!
CAPTAIN Thune
Run for your life !
FLASH
Quick give me my signal gun! When that thing gets close enough
DALE
No! No! Shoot him now, Flash!
[Music] {LASER BLASTS] [LIZARD HOWLS]
CAPTAIN THUNE
Good work your majesty! You have blinded him.
{SILENCE}
FLASH
There he goes! Blinded! I don't think you'll ever be bothered by him again! [SUDDEN LOUD HOWL AND LUNGE FROM THE LIZARD]
{LASER BLASTS} DALE SCREAMS]
DALE
More like you're the blind one, Flash! How could you not see the lizard was right still attacking? [LASER BLAST}{THUD}
DALE
There. I got him.
FLASH
I was merely toying with it. Of course.
DALE
Yes. We know all about that, Mr. Right-Hand Man.
FLASH
Hey! You said you liked that!
DALE
Context is a real important part of the enjoyment of the right hand and the going blind thing, Flash. GIANT LUMBERS UP
GIANT
Oh King! Me and my tribe fight for you always!
CAPTAIN THUNE
That was fast.
FLASH
Fine! With the Cavemen and the Hawkman. I'll conquer my kingdom
[Music]
ANNOUNCER
Flash Gordon leads his army of Cavemen and Hawkmen into the immense caves which make up his kingdom after progressing for a long time without seeing a living thing or having any regard for personal hygiene, Flash decides to take Dale and go on a scouting expedition...at least that's what they called it. An hour later, while walking through a cave of terrifying beauty, the two Americans are suddenly surprised by a band of Lizardmen they drop from all sides hurling stones. Not wanting to feel left out, a small squadron of Platypusman, an unholy union of water rat and duck descend on our heroes as well. With their small, hairy, greyish balls and narrow elongated beaks and robust legs, lacking wings… they still try to attack Flash, Dale and their army.
{LIZARD SOUNDS} ROCKS AND STONES
ANNOUNCER
Flash is knocked out and Dale's signal gun shrieks its siren as she fires bolt after bolt at the charging Lizard beasts.
[LASER BLASTS IN THE CAVE]
ANNOUNCER
Back on the plane Captain Thune and Zug, the Red-Headed Giant Man, leak on their own feet as the wailing of Dale's signal gun reaches their ears. But then with the wet-footed, seemingly fearless Captain Thune at their head, the squad of Hawkmen then come to the rescue!
CAPTAIN THUNE
Dale! Dale, what has happened to his majesty?
DALE
Lizardmen. They were the only ones who successfully attacked us and knocked Flash out. I fought them all off, but they took Flash and
creeped through that crevice.
CAPTAIN THUNE
It's blocked with a huge stone. Men swing that quick firing gun into position.
HAWKMAN
That's..uh...not a quick firing gun.
CAPTAIN THUNE
Yes it is! With haste men! Flash's life hangs in the
HAWKMAN
That's a multi-functional garden hose Captain. It's not

HAWKMAN

CAPTAIN THUNE
Uh...okay. Right. There! This way Dale! Let us find his majesty
DALE
Look! Blood.
CAPTAIN THUNE
That means king flash came this way. Lizard man don't bleed red.
DALE
This passage seems more blocked up than your arteries my fine fellow.
CAPTAIN THUNE
Uh. Thanks. We'll have to use the micro gun. I'll get to the hole. Here I'll bend over and try to aim at it now.
HAWKMAN
Can I turn off my hose now?
DALE
Wait, let me squeeze through that opening
CAPTAIN THUNE
What? Oh. Right. Sure. I'm game. Dale can you see the end?
DALE
Um. No. Oh not yet. If you could stand up and move over...
CAPTAIN THUNE
Now?!
[ROCKS MOVE]
DALE
I'm stuck, but I can see light ahead.
[MORE ROCK AND EARTH MOVING]
FLASH
Dale?
DALE
Flash darling! You're alive!
FLASH
I think so. Yes! I'm so glad. You'll have to get the hammer I can't budge this stone.
DALE
Can you reach my signal gun?
FLASH
Yes, I got it thanks!
CAPTAIN THUNE
Quiet here come the Lizardmen after us!

AZORA
I just did.
FLASH
What?
AZORA
I JUST ADMITTED! I killed her as I killed you and your
other companion and I can bring her back as I brought you back to life from the bowels of Mongo.
FLASH
Then do it at once.
AZORA
You are young and full of life. It would be a pity to put such a fine person's manhood to death
FLASH
What are you talking about?
AZORA
One of you must die. Who shall it be. You? Or the girl?
FLASH
You know there's only one answer to that !
AZORA
Fine. Kill the woman.
FLASH
No! That's not the answer.
AZORA
The brave youth wishes to make the supreme sacrifice.
FLASH
You keep calling me youth. Have you had work done or something, or is it the makeup because you look my age.
ARORA
Very noble, but very foolish I've changed my mind. You shall live...for me
FLASH
And Dale? What will happen to her ?
AZORA
If you promise to obey me forever, I will bring her back to life to torture you with the lost possibilities.
FLASH
Then I agree to your terms.
AZORA

AZORA
Ah, forgive me my prince. I was so interested in showing you the beauty of my palace I've forgotten about food.

[distant KITCHEN NOISES]
CAPTAIN THUNE (whispered)
Oh Dale. I feared for the worst. I even demanded that they test that pull motor on me every half hour to...make sure it was in great shape to wake you up. You're safe?
DALE (whispered)
Yes. Thank you. Captain Thune. I'm glad to find you safe, but drained looking, as well. But Flash

CAPTAIN THUNE
Maybe she's just amazing at...doing things.
