  • Episode 329 - Bob Lindenmayer
    Feb 20 2026

    We talk to Bob Lindenmayer - Writer & Director of Making Megaforce. We all have those films we saw whilst growing up which have such an effect on who we are, what we became or they just simply stay with us and evoke such a warm feeling. For Bob Lindenmayer it was the 1982 Sci Fi Action epic Megaforce. Despite totally bombing at the Box Office, Megaforce meant something to the young Bob and came along at just the right time in his life. His documentary, Making Megaforce, is not only his tribute to the making of and history of this film but also a heartwarming story of friendship and how meeting your heroes can sometimes be a dream come true.
