Bonus Podcast- Forrest J Ackerman Centenary

The Ray Harryhausen Podcast

November 24th 2016 marks the 100th birthday of sci-fi legend Forrest J Ackerman, founder of 'Famous Monsters of Filmland' magazine. Forry was also one of Ray Harryhausen’s oldest friends, the two having met in the late 1930's after discovering a shared interest in 'King Kong'. We caught up with former 'Famous Monsters' editor David Weiner to discuss the friendship between Ray, Forry and Ray Bradbury. We also heard a clip of the three legends in discussion, taken from an interview which can be found on the 'Ray Harryhausen- the early years collection' DVD. Enjoy our celebration of Forrest J Ackerman on his centenary!
