THUNDERBIRDS ARE NO!
Century 21 Cinema Productions / Associated Television / United Artists
The FRED Watch boys are back for 2019, reviewing everything from the obscure to the mainstream!
Phillip brings Thunderbirds Are Go (1966) to Wayne; the first big screen rendition of the popular supermarianation television series. But the boys discover that the film suffers from poor pacing, meaningless plot points, and what would have to be one of cinema’s longest and weirdest wet dreams… involving Cliff Richard and The Shadows.
