  • Great and fun podcast

    I grew up in Philadelphia watching these films on UHF channels, especially the Creature Feature” show with Doctor Shock. The guests are wonderful providing insights and industry history . Keep it up!!

    Oh, btw, while traveling thru Utah I stopped in the little town of Blanding and went to the Dinosaur Museum. They had the original animatronic model of the brontosaurus from King Kong.

  • Fun, warm and intelligent geekery of the best kind.

    At times fun and flippant at others serious and incisive, you don’t need a huge knowledge of Sci-Fi films to enjoy this excellent show, but it will make you want to dive deeper. The host Ayesha Khan keeps serious guests lively and lively guests on topic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alphaville: Godard's 1965 Break-up Tech Noir
Q: What makes Alphaville an alienating, but purposeful, viewing experience?
Godard's strategy is to foreground cinema as a vehicle for ideas, constantly reminding the viewer of the medium's mechanisms, mixing disparate genres, and disrupting conventional narrative pleasure to wake the spectator rather than lull them.
The Doctor, the Daleks & the 1960s
Q: Who's your favorite Doctor?
Lee's favorite is Tom Baker as he grew up with him, while Paul prefers Peter Capaldi for his unique command of the character.
The Doctor, the Daleks & the 1960s
Q: Why do you think Doctor Who has been so insanely successful?
The limitless format that allows for different genres and themes each episode keeps it fresh and appealing.
First Men in the Moon: From HG Wells to 1964
Q: How did the production values and influences of the film impact its reception?
The film's mix of comedic elements alongside serious themes created a tonal whiplash that may have affected its overall reception, especially in the American market.
Missed Episode, Medicine & Metropolis
Q: Can you tell us a bit about the kind of social and economic state of Germany during this time?
The Weimar Republic was financially tumultuous, emerging from World War I with reparations that led to great instability and unrest.
