A SPECIAL RE-AIRING OF OUR SECOND EPISODE EVER! Recorded in September 2019 in WRIR studios, Cameron sat down with cinematographer Bill Ku to talk about the visually stunning “Forbidden Planet” - a landmark film in science-fiction cinema. It's Robby the Robot time, the Tempest in Space, and who would have thought Leslie Nielsen could be such a sensitive man? Find more about Bill Ku: https://www.elementalvisuals.com/ https://www.instagram.com/elevisu/ Film summary: In this sci-fi classic, a spacecraft travels to the distant planet Altair IV to discover the fate of a group of scientists sent there decades earlier. When Commander John J. Adams (Leslie Nielsen) and his crew arrive, they discover only two people: Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter, Altaira (Anne Francis), who was born on the remote planet. Soon, Adams begins to uncover the mystery of what happened on Altair IV, and why Morbius and Altaira are the sole survivors.

It’s the movie that gave this podcast its name, and a classic of ’50s cinema. But how does Forbidden Planet hold up now it’s old enough to draw its pension? We head to Altair IV to chat about the Fred M Wilcox-directed sci-fi trailblazer, along with Louis Savy, director of the SCI-FI-LONDON festival. Back on Earth, Louis is busy preparing for this year’s SCI-FI-LONDON event, which is the 20th since it began. This milestone festival will need to take place virtually because of the coronavirus lockdown, but that hasn’t held things back. Running 8-13 December, you’ll be able to watch films, see talks and panels (including one hosted by your Robby The Robot’s Waiting podcasters) and even enjoy the annual SCI-FIDO cosplay for dogs, all from the comfort of your own home. https://sci-fi-london.com/ Elsewhere in this episode, the team discuss the tension between a creator’s vision and the viewers’ needs. Christopher Nolan movies where you can’t hear the words? Game Of Thrones episodes where you can’t see a thing? We discuss artistic choices, and where we draw the line on compromise. In need of what-to-watch recommendations? We chat about what else we’ve been viewing this month. How is everyone celebrating Life Day in lockdown? We find out with the new Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. Tanavi introduces the team to Killjoys (now on season five). And Richard and Louis have been reading Ready Player Two, so you don’t have to. David “Darth Vader” Prowse passed away at the age of 85 just as we were getting ready to record the episode. Dave had a curry with him, during his time on SFX magazine, so we share some anecdotes. And there’s just time to digest the latest morsels of sci-fi news. Robert Englund joins Stranger Things! The Daleks have had a makeover in time for the Doctor Who New Year Special! The Expanse is greenlit for a sixth season – which will be its last, though without one of its stars. There’s all this and loads more, in the podcast that’s in its deceleration station preparing to drop below light speed. Episode highlights: 0.00:54 - What we've been watching and reading this week: Killjoys, Ready Player Two (0.05:41), and the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special (0.10:12). 0.15:45 - "I can’t see or hear your movie!" The team discuss artistic choices and audience expectations. It's Christopher Nolan's film, he can mix the sound any way he pleases... right? 0.27:28 – Our special guest Louis Savy talks about Ready Player Two, John Carter Of Mars and his own SCI-FI-LONDON film festival. 0.43.16 – Rewind: is the Forbidden Planet worth a revisit? 1.03:52 – The news!

BackTrekking returns again to look back at the real-world inspirations of classic Trek episodes!Stop me if you've heard this one: old scientist, hot daughter, mysterious planet . . . Star Trek is no stranger to cribbing from the greats and this week we examine the similarities between the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Oasis" and the all-time sci-fi classic film, "Forbidden Planet"!On this extra-long episode, we discuss Leslie Nielsen's best sci-fi film, a movie that (like many Trek episodes) was *itself* inspired by Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". Trek often explores the murky dividing line between superscience and supernatural, and the fantastic Krell technology that Dr. Morbius discovers on Altair IV smacks of forbidden, god-like power. Then things get spooky as Archer and crew explore a ghost ship that turns out to have real ghosts, courtesy of a fully-featured Rene Auberjonois!We're all over the road on this ep, talking about architecture as landscape, stunt writers, teaching alien women to love, declaring psychological bankruptcy, the origin of Bender, George W.

Men det er en film som står plantet som en bauta blant disse klassikerne. En film så sjangersettende og viktig. En film som var inspirasjonskilden til både «Star Trek» og «Star Wars».

Story: Over 2,000 centuries ago – the Krell technicians went about their day in the 8,000-cubic-miles of the fabric of the great machine on Altair IV. This is the day in the life of one technician. Artist Notes: Inspired by the ground-breaking work of Louis and Bebe Barron on the film Forbidden Planet I use oscillators rather than samples as sound sources for this piece.

Adams (Leslie Nielsen, oddly enough) leads his spaceship crew to the planet Altair IV, to learn what became of an earlier expedition. (One lesson sci-fi has taught us: don't go checking to see what happened to your earlier expeditions.) He finds that only linguist Dr. Morbius remains, along with his toothsome daughter and extremely handy robot, as everyone else on the planet was destroyed by a monster. It all seems connected to the fate of an advanced civilization that thrived on Altair IV eons ago... FAMOUS FOR: Robby the Robot, a sci-fi icon whose Wikipedia page is longer than some U.S. presidents, and I don't mean that as a slight to Wikipedia. Robby later appeared in , well, a lot of things, like some great Twilight Zone episodes, and apparently Earth Girls Are Easy. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR: Surprisingly excellent special effects, particularly a couple of scenes that incorporate Disney-outsourced animation. Also, prepare yourself for a film that doesn't suck, for once. Hey, even we need a break from the crappy movies, now and then.Original post located at searchforschlock.com.
