Is that the sound of a time machine with “Also Sprach Zarathustra” playing in the background? Derek comes from the future (i.e., Tasmania) to discuss 1968’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” with Alan and Paul.
This episode is bananas! Jim from “Savage FINCast” and “Legion of Substitute Podcasters” joins Alan and Paul to discuss the 1968 version of “Planet of the Apes.” It’s a significant film today in part because it spawned one of the first sci-fi franchises, including four film sequels, a live-action series, and a Saturday-morning cartoon.
“Forbidden Planet” (1956) was not the first sci-fi film of the 1950s, but its influence can’t be denied, as Alan and Paul find out.
Do you hear the strains of a Cyndi Lauper song? No, it’s just Alan and Paul continuing the H.G. Wells dive with 1979’s “Time After Time.”
In the last episode, Paul and Alan examined H.G. Wells’s reaction to Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis.” This time, they travel to the far future to discuss the 1960 adaptation of one of Wells’s most famous works: “The Time Machine.”
