Bandito dall'Inghilterra per i suoi esperimenti proibiti, il Dottor Moreau ha costruito un laboratorio segreto su un'isola remota del Pacifico, dando vita a una comunità di creature mostruose assoggettate alla sua Legge. Per creare una razza perfetta di animali umanizzati, lo scienziato ambisce all'eliminazione della capacità di provare dolore; eppure è proprio del dolore e del terrore che si serve per realizzare il suo progetto. Nella nuova puntata di Monstrumana ci occupiamo dell'Isola del Dottor Moreau (1896) di H.G. Wells. Tra le crescenti consapevolezze della classe lavoratrice, le scoperte scientifiche che minano le fondamenta della conoscenza, gli orrori del colonialismo, i dibattiti sulla vivisezione, inseguiamo la domanda che gran parte del gotico tardovittoriano si è posta: cosa resta dell'umano una volta che il mostruoso lo ha toccato?

Tout ce que vous avez voulu savoir sur le genre littéraire du Steampunk avec l'essayiste Arthur Morgan, auteur de l'essai A Toute vapeur ! Le Steampunk en question. Coup de rétro sur le Steampunk Plébiscité depuis les année 2000 par les communautés numériques mais aussi par le fandom de l'imaginaire, le genre du Steampunk fêtera bientôt ses 40 ans. Lancé en 1987 par trois romanciers de fantasy et de science-fiction (James Blaylock, Tim Powers et K.W. Jeter), le terme steampunk (« punk à vapeur ») désigne des aventures naviguant entre les genres de l'imaginaire dans la révolution industrielle de l'époque victorienne. Inspiré par les oeuvres de Mary Shelley, Jules Verne et HG Wells mais aussi par d'autres oeuvres télévisuelles comme Les Mystères de l'Ouest ou graphique Le Démon des Glaces de Tardi, ce genre qui ne cesse d'évoluer avait déjà une proto-existence avant de connaître une définition. Arthur Morgan revient dans notre podcast sur les influences et l'évolution du Steampunk mais aussi sur la sympathique communauté des vaporistes. Hébergé par Ausha.

Send us a Question!PARTY PLEASER: Kathryn joins Melvin to summarize this year's cherry-picked so-bad-its-good movie, War of the Worlds (2025)! Featuring a cast of fairly known names (Ice Cube, Eva Longoria, Devon Bostick, Clark Gregg, and many more) this odd adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic limits its prose to a computer screen. What could go wrong?  Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 20-minutes discussing Chris Columbus' pull quote on the Harry Potter Reboot, "What's the point?", and the unique nature of rebooting Harry Potter as a series unlike other franchises that offer spinoffs, prequels, or alt-universe tales. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) The entire film is told through the prose of a computer screen (and sometimes cellphone screen). How do Kathryn and Melvin feel about this?Ultimately, the film is in over its head, and it isn't even sure how to handle dialogue and drama let alone thrills and action sequences.Yapping about how movies sometimes advertise products and how Tesla does NOT come out of War of the Worlds (2025) looking good.Beefing with Will Radford since he's a bad character and a bad dad.Melvin ponders why movies like this take off and how the streaming as a distribution format influences this sort of thing.The third act of the film, specifically the climax, is when everything bizarre and noteworthy happens.Recommendations:Castle Rock (Season 1) (2018) (TV-Series)Friday the 13th Part III (1982) (Movie)Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

A few months ago we were surprised to learn that HG Wells, the famed 19th century science fiction writer, survived long enough to comment on film adaptations of his work. This is a silly thing for us to be surprised by, because the man was only 66 when Island of Lost Souls, the movie that he commented on, came out. Just a few years later Alexander Korda hired Wells himself to adapt Wells' futurism work into Things to Come (1936), working with a crack team of art directors and artists including William Cameron Menzies as director, Vincent Korda officially acting as art designer, and a cadre of others including a mostly cut sequence by Hungarian experimental filmmaker László Moholy-Nagy. It's a beautiful film that looks at a future that Wells imagines is not a technocratic dystopia even though that's what he portrays.

He is very aware of the beauty of the upper world and he compares them to cattle in a field. He morns too the loss of human intellect. The rich, assured of his wealth, and the poor, of his toil. He heads to the white sphinx and strangely finds the door beneath the plinth open. He chuckles, and walks through the opening. He sees his time machine and is impressed to see that it has been cleaned and oiled, suspecting that the Morlocks took it apart and put it together again to try to understand the mechanism. The doors close behind him, confirming his suspicion, and he goes to strike a match. The matches are the kind that need the box in order to light, and he is swarmed by the Morlocks. He fights his way to the saddle in the dark and punches several while struggling to put the lever in place. He pushes the lever, and the world falls around him while he heads further and further into the future, away from his enemy.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H.

As they near the woods again, they start to hear Morlocks. Night has started to fall and the Time Traveler decides to start a fire using some camphor and dry brush to get rid of the stalking Murlocks behind them. The fire spreads quickly as the Time Traveler and Weena make their way into the forest. He and Weena walk in the dark, and slowly he feels small hand grasping at his clothes and legs, and Weena. He decides that he must light another fire in the woods to make a camp to rest a little so that he can break away from his pursuers with new strength. Dreadfully tired, he actually falls asleep, and when he wakes he is covered in Morlocks biting at his hands and neck. He finds no more matches in his pocket but thankfully finds his Iron bar, and he bats away the attacking Morlocks. Suddenly, he sees for the first time that the fire has spread to the forest. He cannot find Weena around him anywhere and decides to run away from the blazing fire around him. He comes to a clearing with a small hillock and he runs to it. The Morlocks chase him he strikes several of them as they run at him. Soon he notices however that they are blinded by the fire as they run into it, and their demise.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H.

In H.G. Wells's "The Red Room," a young man, confident in his rationality, seeks to debunk the supernatural in a reputedly haunted chamber. He is certain that his experience will be defined by logic and reason. But the air within the castle walls is heavy with unspoken dread, and as the candles dwindle, something shifts. Is it the room itself, or something within him, that begins to unravel? "The Red Room" was first published in The Idler magazine in March of 1896. H.G. Wells (1866-1946), a visionary of science fiction and social commentary, explored the depths of human experience with unparalleled skill. Learn more about your ad choices.
