   The Black Hole (1979) | Episode Ten

   The season finale of BVB is here, and we're going out with one of the darker movies under the Buena Vista header - The Black Hole. While this was not the "response to Star Wars" that many people think it was, our plucky film is sort of awkward in it's own right, and doesn't need to underachieve compared to other, bigger movies. Featuring robots, space, pro and anti-gravity, and robots! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

   The Apple Dumpling Gang (1975) | Episode Nine

   Culinary tales of the Old West, wrapped up in a gold heist, and left to simmer in a slapstick sauce, "The Apple Dumpling Gang" is like two movies in one. Some great acting by Bill Bixby, peppered with some great moments from Don Knotts and Tim Conway, paired with the casual brightness of Slim Pickens. Don't worry, I'm fresh out of cooking analogies.

   The Island at the Top of the World (1974) | Episode Eight

   The exciting world of ballooning takes center stage, against the backdrop of locating a long-rumored whale graveyard in the far corners of the Arctic. Throw in a lost Viking exploration party, a yapping dog, and a language barrier, you'll soon find yourself on The Island at the Top of the World! Learn more about your ad choices.
