This is the final episode of the Professor Dave's Ark in Space podcast.  Dave passed away on November 3, 2022.  This episode was pre-recorded several months ago, and really is us just being us, laughing over two very very silly films. Join us on one last journey to the Ark in Space.  And thank you all for being with us.  I love you.
