The connection may not be obvious at first, but when you consider the historical roots of vampire lore, it becomes clear. Vlad the Impaler, the infamous inspiration for Dracula, was known as the "Son of the Dragon" (or Dracula in Romanian), a title inherited from his father, Vlad Dracul, who was a member of the Order of the Dragon—a chivalric order dedicated to defending Christianity.

Sure, maybe the budget wasn't quite there, but it's MOBY DICK with DRAGONS instead of whales! Danny Glover riding around in a medieval tank?! A solid dose of Big Liz lore? What's not to like??!

2024-11-111h 57Big Flying LizardsThe NeverEnding Story IIIDo you realize how bad a movie has to be to put an end to the NeverEnding Story?? My goodness, what a disaster. No film title has ever felt quite so threatening. Indeed, on this trajectory, it's likely for the best that we never got a "chapter four."
Anyway, Bastian, Falkor, Rockbiter and the gang (minus Atreyu) are back for their wackiest adventure yet. Thrust into our reality, the creatures of Fantasia must bumble their way into stopping a group of high school bullies from turning the world nasty.

Bastian, when did your eyes change from brown to blue? And why are wishes bad now, because wasn't that the whole point of the previous film?
Geez, I hope this "NeverEnding" bit doesn't produce a cursed franchise or something...

2024-10-141h 16Big Flying LizardsThe NeverEnding StoryWe already talked cat dragons for The Hobbit (1977), now it’s time for the dog to have his day! Falkor remains one of the most iconic movie dragons of all time, so a discussion of The NeverEnding Story TRILOGY felt like a perfect Big Liz miniseries. You’ll have to wait for the third episode to hear our final thoughts on the good ‘ol boy, but there are plenty of practical monsters, childhood trauma, and evil clouds to dig into in the meantime!

I mean, Gary Oldman voices a deranged villain who combines his minions with weapons to make metal monsters. What more do you want?

2024-09-231h 33Big Flying LizardsThe Return of the King (1980)To round out the makeshift animated “Tolkien trilogy,” today’s episode of Big Flying Lizards is about The Return of the King. No, not THAT Return of the King, the Rankin/Bass TV special from 1980! Piggybacking on the Bakshi film from two years before, this weird and wonderful little curio adapts roughly the final third of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Doing so in less than 100 minutes is quite the feat, but more elements than one might expect made the cut. Sure, Gimli and Legolas aren’t even mentioned, but check out what they did with GROND!!

2024-09-161h 40Big Flying LizardsThe Lord of the Rings (1978)Welcome to the meat of our "Tolkien sandwich!"
Just one year after the Rankin/Bass Hobbit special, an entirely different team led by director Ralph Bakshi released The Lord of the Rings. It is an ambitious, two-hour adaptation of the seminal fantasy novel, although that still only gets us just past the battle of Helm's Deep.
To achieve this monstrous runtime (the film broke the existing record for longest animated feature), Bakshi employed rotoscoping techniques to animate over live-action reference footage. The result is warbly and strange, but that makes for an even more interesting...

2024-09-0643 minBig Flying LizardsThe Hobbit (1977)The greatest adventure? We'll be the judges of that!
For our first work of animation to cover on the show, we've chosen the original Rankin / Bass adaption of J. R. R. Tolkien's novel, The Hobbit. It's the classic story of Bilbo the halfling off to slay Smaug the dragon with the help of Gandalf and 13 dwarves. This 1977 TV special is a bit janky at times, but its heart is in the right place, and it does get some aspects right.

2024-09-021h 58Big Flying LizardsEragonFor our first piece of feature film coverage, we have gone back to one of the most seen and perhaps most hated dragon movies of all time: Stefen Fangmeier's Eragon. At the time, it was panned by critics for being unoriginal and despised by book fans for deviating from its source material, but how does the only film adaptation of Christopher Paolini's bestselling novel (so far) hold up 18 years on?

2024-08-111h 16Big Flying LizardsHouse of the Dragon S2 E8 | The Queen Who Ever WasSeason three when??? I mean, this has gotta be the biggest tease in Game of Thrones / House of the Dragon history, right? Sure, it’s a solid episode filled with exciting character moments from Rhaenyra, Daemon and Alicent, but that ending montage was just cruel.
Ehh, we'll probably get over it in a couple years. The season two finale gave us pirates, Corlys on a boat, and by far the best Harrenhal dream sequence, which all must count for something!
