Every time I think about Zardoz, I think it must be the last time I’ll ever think about Zardoz. Maybe Zardoz is eternal?
According to Dan Harmon on his podcast, there exists a director’s commentary of Zardoz where the director starts it off saying something like “hello, my name is [director] and I’ll be the first to admit this one… kind of got away from me”

Sean Connery showing off his hairy chest.
It’s a nerd-dork coalition about geopolitics, of course we like Sean Connery movies!
… James who?
Zardoz fans, in my NCD?

Interesting… I never heard about this movie. I must see it now o.o
It’s, uh… it’s interesting. I wouldn’t call it a good movie exactly, but it’s not terrible either – very campy, very weird, often funny without meaning to be, and clearly a product of the 70’s, but it’s a fun and ridiculous watch.
Lots of people say it’s incomprehensible because they just focus on the weird shit (of which there is plenty), but it’s a pretty standard “dystopian future where the elite live lives of plenty by subjugating masses who live in squalor” trope at its core. Like Elysium but made by hippies
