Tarzan's Magic Fountain (1949) was Lex Barker's first of five adventures as the Ape Man. He took over the role from a visibly tired and worn out Johnny Weissmuller, who had played Tarzan since 1932.

Playing Jane was actress Brenda Joyce, who took over the role when Maureen O'Sullivan decided to retire as Jane after 1942's Tarzan in New York.

Ironically, Tarzan's Magic Fountain was Joyce's last time in the role. She had only contracted with producer Sol Lesser for five films, after which she retired from acting to raise her children. Lex Barker ended up working with five different "Janes" during his run in the series.

The film was co-written by Curt Siodmak (The Wolfman and Donovan's Brain). It was directed by Lee Sholem, who in a few years would direct Superman and the Mole Men (1951), as well as several episodes of the Adventures of Superman television series.

Finally, the film featured a brief cameo by Elmo Lincoln, the original cinematic Tarzan from 1918's Tarzan of the Apes, as an old fisherman.

Doomsday Machine (1972)

My rating: 4/10

This has all the ingredients for an amusing ham and cheese sandwich of a movie, what with the cardboard sets, goofy effects (they even tried some gore, it was hilarious), and the technicolor rainbow lighting that was so utterly incongruous with the rather dark and depressing tone of the movie - but unfortunately it was also liberally covered in some incredibly high grade 60s-era misogyny, which made the whole thing rather a chore to sit through. Still, could make for good riffing, I guess.
