An incredible film comprised almost entirely of still images, and one that has significantly influenced everything that has followed in the world of Science Fiction!

KAIJU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fri, 16 Sep 2016 13:49:18 -0000

Thu, 15 Sep 2016 22:18:48 -0000

The only movie improved by Colorization and 3D, Plan 9 is bad, but there's something to it!

Wed, 31 Aug 2016 19:11:15 -0000

A legendary Warner Brothers cartoon that actually deals with a ton of science fiction theories.

52 Episodes to Science Fiction Film Literacy - The Phantom Empire

Mon, 08 Aug 2016 16:59:06 -0000

This is a terrible Western/Science Fiction film starring Gene Autry. If it's so terrible, why include it? Well, it tells us so much about the times! The role of serials, the idea of the Mash-up (decades before it got that name), and the limitations of the form all combine in this episode!!!

52 Episodes to Science Fiction Film Literacy - Frankenstein

Thu, 04 Aug 2016 17:37:30 -0000

One of the most significant of all the early sound films. One of the most significant of all literary adaptations. One of the most significant films Universal ever made. One of the most significant films. We look at James Whale's Frankenstein, and what it meant to the path of science fiction film.

Metropolis

Tue, 02 Aug 2016 15:43:59 -0000

Possibly the most important of all Silent Films, Metropolis is Fritz Lang's absolute masterpiece! Also, I talk about San Jose's housing market.

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1920)

Tue, 02 Aug 2016 15:37:52 -0000

John Barrymore. The man could act! This is a look at the silent version of one of the most re-imagined works in English Science Fiction history!

A Message from Mars (1913, UK)

Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:56:50 -0000

Perhaps the first Science Fiction feature film in the UK, the 1913 re-imagining of A Christmas Carol is a silent film that explores the cold dead heart of a selfish man as it's re-heated. Perhaps influenced by the early Social Issues films that were popping up both in the US and UK, and most likely influencing them, it's a film with a soul and a lot of what we look for when we watch early silents.

A Trip to the Moon

Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:06:34 -0000

Some call it the first Science Fiction, and it is certainly the most important film in the first fifty years of SciFi! Hear the thoughts on it, and a bit of summation!
