Every Single Sci-Fi Film Ever*

I find big brains to talk about old science fiction films: The content and the cultural history.

I love it so much I made this Venn diagram to show you what it’s about. 🤓

The Czech film Ikarie XB-1 (1963) is a known influence on Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). I adore both of these shots. The next podcast episode will be about Ikarie XB-1 (if all goes well).

It’s true I did say this but I swear it sounded better before I read it. 😂
@everyscififilm.bsky.social had this to say about Eve (in the top ten of her list submitted):

"Queen Bette Davis. Impeccable. If sass was a film this would be it."

The Cinema Legacy Poll is a bunch of amazing and lovely film podcasters who invited me to submit my top 50 films of all time.

And then not make fun of me when I am personally outraged when my favourite films aren’t in the top ten. 😂

24?! For All About Eve?! I am outraged I tell you! Outraged! 😉

Next episode!

X:The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963) is considered one of Roger Corman’s best. It is available on streaming platforms to rent and buy in the US and UK. Here are some images from a promotional comic of the film. The whole comic can be found on the Internet Archive website.

I have a slight fixation with this film. And Kubrick. Kubrick should stop bothering me all the time. 😂 Why is he so good?
Ayesha from @everyscififilm.bsky.social had this to say about The Shining (in the top ten of her list submitted):

"Terror, symmetry, symbolism, plot, pace, character, set design, sound, framing. Kubrick is a master."

Richard Mathesons I Am Legend gets its first and perhaps best adaption. Credibly chilling and dripping with palpable dread and a desperately desolate Price. 1964.

A few months ago Sara from the Shea Cinema podcast invited me into a group of film podcasters who were putting together their top 50 films for a new top 50 film list.

It was stressful and fun but here is the overall countdown!
The next round of Cinema Legacy Poll films, starting at # 50

So, over here in the U.S., there was a radio host, named Art Bell. His show covered the unexplained, conspiracies, the paranormal, among other topics. If you ever want to know more about mind control experiments, his show was always fun. 😳😱

The Manchurian Candidate (1962) is available to rent online from many outlets or you can go ahead and buy it to stream (or on DVD).

If you watch it today you'll be ready for the new episode that's out tomorrow about the film, 1960s New Hollywood, Cold War tensions and political conspiracy films.

You should listen to my podcast if you like history, socio-political context, life stories and academic opinions about SCIENCE FICTION FILMS!!!! (Pew Pew but also Big Brother.)

Started in 1902 but the 1960s are most definitely in swing?

Always weird to think there are real living people out there listening to the podcast and even crazier when they recommend it. Thank you to @thelistuk.bsky.social for including me in their Pod people line up!

I think of Invasion of the Body Snatchers as good marketing strategy so this is perfect. 😉

Oh look - it’s me popping up on Ayesha’s marvellous science fiction cinema podcast again! This time featuring triffids! Come have a listen - I had a proper giggle recording this.
The Day of the Triffids (1963) feels like a very 1950s film made in 1963. John Wyndham’s 1951 book of the same name, however, was a big hit and kicked off his writing career.

Really enjoyed @everyscififilm.bsky.social's recent episode on Panic in Year Zero! It's a film in which the President declares 'There are no civilians - we are all at war' and our hero says 'when civilisation gets civilised again, I'll rejoin.'

Panic in Year Zero shows US civilisation fall apart after nuclear attack. Part road movie, part how-to manual, part patriarchal delight.

I spoke to academic John Wills and psychiatrist Steven Schlozman about hankering for the apocalypse, the daddy gaze, nuclear education and painted houses.

I was nervous but it vanished once I got up there. I faced my fears and it taught me nothing about B2B marketing. 😂 Which means, like John Snow, I still know nothing.

I adore a mad scientist but...

I watched the Absent Minded Professor for my 1961 batch of films and decided not to cover it. The Nutty Professor (1963) is on my list and I am not looking forward to it. 😂 I just want to watch Dr Strangelove again instead please. 🥹
