When we say that Dan O'Bannon had his hands in a ton of iconic properties, we aren't kidding. In addition to his most well-known films like ALIEN and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, he also had his hands in everything from Jodorowsky's un-produced DUNE and even in STAR WARS!

He even made a significant contribution to the genre of animation by writing two segments for 1981's HEAVY METAL.

Based on the magazine of the same name, HEAVY METAL is an anthology film, with many of its segments based on comics found within its pages.

The film had a bizarre journey to the big screen (and a lengthy journey to home video). In this episode, we'll trace its creation from idea to release, discussing not only Dan O'Bannon's contributions, but the film as a whole, and where its legacy has led.
