The Reasonably Amazing Adventures of Flash Episode 8
Comedy - A Cool Way To Win! Lord General Magician General Saul, who makes a gallant attempt at assassinating Flash—only to be met with a cheery “No worries, old chap!” from our misguided hero, who graciously forgives him. With that inconvenience swiftly brushed aside, Flash demonstrates that his sense of friendly fire is alive and well by lobbing an “ice torpedo” at poor Dr. Zarkov, presumably under the impression that a friend covered in frosty weaponry is better than one free of bullet holes.
Unsurprisingly, Flash continues to lead the thoroughly disorganized charge against the Hawkmen, and once again Zarkov spares them from a very chilly demise with his signature ice barrier (the man does love a good cold snap). Rubbing his hands in glee—or possibly just to stay warm—Saul then suggests Queen Azura demote Flash and promote himself, because being a double General plus a Magician obviously makes you the best candidate to boss everybody about. Whether Flash can maintain his precarious hold on authority while also apologizing for flinging random projectiles at his allies remains to be seen. But in this cosmic circus, stranger things have certainly happened.
Written and Produced by Kurtis Bedford and Tom Konkle. Starring Tom Konkle as Flash Gordon and Hawkman, Stephanie Stearns Dulli as Dale Arden, Kurtis Bedford as Announcer and Old Man, Gino C. Vianelli as Thune and David Beeler as Marr and Dr Zarkov Music by Bryan Arata. Directed and edited by Tom Konkle.
