0:00 - The Spurs won Game 3 last night, and NOW, we've got ourselves a series. Sorry, NYC. Wemby spoiled your party at the Garden. Can we stop with the whole NYC Celebrity Row fanfare and glazing? ESPN is acting like the Knicks are the first NBA Franchise to have fans. And by the way Timothee Chalamet and Spike Lee, you're not on the team! Quit acting like it! Jeez. Just WATCH the GAME.16:27 - Sam Presti is a brilliant GM. Don't get it twisted. Look at how he's turned around the Thunder. He built a championship juggernaut with a back-to-back MVP on the roster. But he's also a WHINY LOSER. He addressed the media yesterday, and we genuinely can't believe some of the words he actually spoke into a microphone. 37:07 - Not only did Sam Presti cry about SGA getting criticized on social media, he also played dumb about OKC getting the benefit of the whistle. So he's a whiny dork and also a liar. What a combo! This GUY. Guess what? You just earned the TOP SPOT ON THE LIST. Yes, THE list. 

As always there are spoilers ahead! Blade Runner was not a huge hit in 1982 but it did gain a fair few fans on its initial release. One of those fans was a teenager from Cheshire by the name of Paul Franklin who would go on to work on numerous big budget films and win two Oscars for his work as a Special Effects Supervisor on Interstellar and Inception. I spoke to Paul about his first impressions of the film, what makes it special and how it influences Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises.   Apologies for the abrupt ending to this episode. It is late, I've been quite busy and I have other work I really must tend to.

 Discover the quirks of B-movies as we explore 'The Mind Snatchers' and 'Devil's Dynamite.' Learn why these films are worth your time and where to find them. When it comes to cinema, not every film is created equal. Some are masterpieces, while others fall into the category of B-movies—films that may not be critically acclaimed but offer unique entertainment value. In this post, we'll delve into two intriguing B-films: **'The Mind Snatchers'** and **'Devil's Dynamite.'**  By the end, you'll understand what makes these films both fascinating and frustrating, and maybe even find the motivation to give them a watch. ## About 'The Mind Snatchers'   **Quick overview of the film**   Released in 1972, 'The Mind Snatchers' features Christopher Walken in one of his early roles.

Known for its bizarre editing and surreal visuals, it's a sequel to **'Robo Vampire'**—a fact that only adds to its eccentricity.  ### The Appeal of Godfrey Ho Films   - **Entertaining Ineptitude:** Godfrey Ho's films are known for their low budget and questionable production quality, which often leads to unintentional humor. - **Cult Following:** Much like 'The Mind Snatchers,' these films have their own dedicated audience who appreciate the absurdity. ## Finding These Films   ### Tips for Streaming   Both films can be tricky to find on popular streaming platforms. Here are some tips for locating them: - **Search Engines:** Utilize websites like JustWatch to find where these films are available. - **Streaming Services:** Look for them on services that specialize in independent and B-movies, such as Tubi and Plex. ### Common Search Issues   Many users experience difficulty in finding these titles on mainstream platforms.

While they may not be for everyone, they provide a glimpse into the creativity and sometimes chaotic nature of filmmaking. So why not give them a try?

Will You Lead the Agentic Era or Just Watch it Happen? Tomorrow, CIOFEST in London officially kicks off, and it is your final chance to join the most pivotal conversation in digital leadership this year. The "Agentic Era" isn't just another buzzword—it's a fundamental shift in how enterprises operate.

Neste episódio, Guilherme Goulart e Vinícius Serafim analisam casos reais e tendências que colocam em xeque a segurança digital e física no Brasil. Você vai descobrir como criminosos burlaram um sistema de reconhecimento facial em condomínios de Porto Alegre usando engenharia social, expondo os riscos do teatro da segurança, do solucionismo tecnológico e da hipossuficiência técnica dos consumidores. Em seguida, você vai entender o que está por trás do lançamento do modelo Mitos da Anthropic — classificado como perigoso demais para uso público —, e por que os resultados práticos com o Firefox e o cURL geraram ceticismo no meio da cibersegurança, levantando questões sobre propaganda de IA, governança, regulação e concorrência no mercado de inteligência artificial. Neste episódio, você também acompanha a análise da lei 15.397, que atualizou crimes digitais no Brasil com penas mais severas para furto qualificado digital, cessão de conta laranja e fraude eletrônica — e por que, sem investimento em capacidade investigativa, isso pode ser apenas populismo penal. Além disso, são discutidas duas vulnerabilidades críticas no Linux (CVE Copyfile e Dirty Frag) com exploits já circulando antes da correção, e como a IA pode acabar com o anonimato na internet ao identificar autores por fingerprint de texto com apenas 125 palavras. Os temas de privacidade, proteção de dados, LGPD, segurança ofensiva, pentest e infraestrutura em nuvem permeiam toda a conversa.

It quickly became a widely acclaimed cautionary tale about the dangers of censorship, authoritarianism and the effects of mass media on human ideas and connection.  One of the most prominent science fiction books it is easy to understand why François Truffaut, one of the French New Wave's most prominent directors, became utterly focused on making the story into a film.  The process had its challenges with producers, funding and a casting changes causing delays. The film was finally wrapped up and released in 1966 to both positive and negative reviews. It is an interesting watch if not a gripping one and my two expert guests unravel the ins and outs of how it came to be.  Ian Scott is a Professor of American Film and History at The University of Manchester. He has written extensively about politics and film in Hollywood including the book American Politics in Hollywood Film. Phil Nichols is a visiting lecturer at the University of Wolverhampton and a researcher with a special interest in Ray Bradbury.

The City of Los Angeles has spun a tangled web of requirements, so suffocating that it's now impossible for a landlord to serve a simple 3-Day Notice to Pay or Quit. This isn't about tenant protection—it's a calculated scheme to disenfranchise property owners. Don't believe me? Just Watch!

A 1960s film that examines dissatisfied suburban living, mid-life crisis and the yearning for youth and freedom.

Maximino Cerezo Barredo (Spanish, 1932–), “Emmaus” (triptych), 2014. Carvalhos, Portugal. April 19, 2024: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard. Amen. Happy Easter everyone! Yes – it's still Easter. In fact, while we celebrate Eastertide for 50 days, in reality we are always a resurrection people. Now, the New York Times had a headline this week about the Vice President that read “Vance Says The Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology.” Does anyone else feel like the real news these days sounds more like something the parody news outlet, The Onion, would put out? Seriously though, the Vice President said about the Pope, I kid you not: “If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to be sure it’s anchored in the truth and that’s one of the things that I try to do and that’s certainly something I would expect from the clergy…” Says the guy who converted only 7 years ago about the man who has been a priest for 3 decades and is now the Vicar of Christ? Well, Mr. Vice President, I am not the Pope, just a priest in Christ's one holy catholic and apostolic church, but I do intend to speak on matters of theology, and I suggest you stay in your lane of – well, whatever it is you do. If you have a problem with that – bring it on. I would be happy to have a theological dialog with you, because Lordy, you seemed to have skipped some of your RCIA classes when you were prepping for your conversion. Now, if you think that was the most outrageous thing that happened this past few weeks, you may get the same head scratching stares Jesus got on the road to Emmaus when he asked Cleopas and the other disciple “What news?” So, let's talk about this beloved Easter story. It begins with Cleopas and his companion walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, comforting one another in their deep grief over the death of their teacher and friend, Jesus. Now, before we go any further, I want to remind everyone about the identities of these two folks. So many just assume that these are two men walking on this road, but as most of you who have been here awhile know by now, that assumption is a reflection of our society, not the scriptures. The text says “Now on that same day two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.” Nowhere does it say these were two men! The Greek is gender neutral. Given that the bible is rife with examples of women going unnamed, and given that the bible authors have no problem usually telling you the names of every single man in any story, it is far more likely that it is a woman with Cleopas, not a man. This is not just my own opinion, of course, but that of many scholars who argue as much. So, there you have it – Cleopas was walking the road to Emmaus with his wife, girlfriend, sister, female best bud, wing woman, or whatever. Now that we have that cleared up, let's give her a name…how about Zoe, from the Greek word for life. Now, back to the story. Remember, Cleo and Zoe were leaving Jerusalem – leaving the place where the disciples were cowered in fear, where Jesus had been crucified, where those associated with him were in danger. Tensions were high. People, including these two, were grieving and fearful. And as they talked among themselves about the situation and all that had happened to them, Jesus came near and went alongside them. Now, they didn't recognize him. This was a stranger on this road, and not only that, but that same stranger basically says “Heyt, what's up?” First, let's look at the word choice of the author here to describe Jesus. It is the Greek word πάροικος (paroikos) which means migrant, or a resident foreigner. It often refers to a temporary resident lacking citizenship in a particular place. And they tell this stranger, this foreigner, everything – who they thought Jesus was, what had happened to him, and who was responsible for it. That they had hoped he was the one to “redeem Israel,” which may not mean much in our context, but then was the same as saying overthrow the Empire and free the oppressed. They told him things that could get them crucified if he happened to be someone connected to power. It was risky. And knowing that risk makes the next part even more astounding – they invited this stranger to stay with them. Welcoming the stranger was the law of God, and one that was a matter of life or death in that time. There were not Wawas on every corner to grab food, and roads at night were prime places for robbers to lay in wait. They did not know Jesus, but they knew their God and what God expected of them. They invited him in, this man on the road. They took another risk. Today Jesus, the paroikos, the migrant, the resident foreigner, needs us to take a risk. To risk having the conversations that may put us in danger with those in power, to risk welcoming him as we would if we could have the veils lifted from our eyes and saw the Christ walking alongside us. And that is exactly what Pope Leo the XIV was doing that prompted responses from both the Vice President and the President. First, let's step back a bit to get the full scope of all that has happened just since Easter Sunday. On that most sacred and holy of days for Christians, the President posted on his social media this heartwarming message: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!! Open the F'in' [he used the full word – I will not)…anyway] Open the F'in' Strait you crazy [a b word I also will not repeat], or you'll be living in Hell.” And then, in all caps (for reasons known only to him) he continued “JUST WATCH!” Praise be to Allah. President Donald J. Trump” This was the President's Easter message – a pledge to commit war crimes against the Iranian people, and mocking their faith. But wait, there's more… The Secretary of Defense called this a holy war, and this week, in a worship service at the Pentagon, he prayed for “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.” I should note, this same “Christian,” also asked everyone to pray while he quoted a passage of scripture – except what he read was from the movie “Pulp Fiction,” and not the bible. This was on top of his declaring that journalists were like the Pharisees who opposed Jesus…implying that the President was Christ himself. The President seemed to think so, as he re-posted on social media a blasphemous meme of him depicted as Jesus, healing a sick man, as avenging beings fly in the skies above, and a bunch of white people hold their hands in prayer around him. And – he claimed that Leo owes his election as Pope to him. Yup – you can't make this stuff up. But let me make one thing perfectly clear – while some of this is farcical, this is no laughing matter. This is what Christian Nationalism does. It perverts the gospel of the Prince of Peace into a bludgeon for war, hate, violence, and oppression. Christian Nationalism is a heresy and it must be stopped whenever and wherever it rises up. Now, back in “Sane-ville” – the Pope made it clear that “God does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.” While traveling to Cameroon, actually to a city I spent time in years ago – Bamenda – Pope Leo said even more. Now, he was speaking about the long and violent civil war that had wracked this beautiful nation, but of course a certain President and Vice-President didn't see it that way. The Pope said, “The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet often a lifetime is not enough to rebuild…” And quoting actual scripture, not the Gospel of Quentin Tarantino, he said “Blessed are the peacemakers!” which we know was a part of the sermon on the mount. Then Pope Leo added “But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” Why am I telling you all this? Because Pope Leo is having a risky conversation, in a risky place. The Pope is exhibiting moral courage at a desperate time in the lives of so many around the world. Don't mess with a guy from the South Side of Chicago. Seriously. And supporting him in this is our own Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullaly, who said “I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace. As innocent people are killed and displaced, families torn apart, and futures destroyed, the human cost of war is incalculable. It is the calling of every Christian – and of all people of faith and goodwill – to work and pray for peace. We must also urge all those entrusted with political authority to pursue every possible peaceful and just means of resolving conflict. As I prepare to visit Rome later this month to meet and pray with Pope Leo, I am mindful of his call to keep our eyes open to the suffering of the world, and our gaze fixed on our crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ – the image of the invisible God, in whose image and likeness every human being is made.” Let the people say “Amen.” Folks, the Road To Emmaus is what we are walking now. People are fleeing empire today and we, the followers of Jesus, sometimes may feel like those first converts in the passage of Acts we heard this morning, who asked of Peter “what should we do?” The story of Cleo and Zoe provide the answer. We should have the risky conversations – proclaim the gospel even when it may be dangerous to do so. Proclaim it in what you say and in what you do. Proclaim it in places others might not go. We should welcome the foreigner – not bomb them, not shoot them, not unjustly imprison them, not rip their children from them. We should invite them in, for they are made in the image of God, and they are the crucified one in our midst. We should come here to experience Jesus in the breaking of the bread – to hear the scriptures (again – real ones not from a movie) – to have our hearts burn within us. That is what we should do – have the risky conversations, welcome Jesus in the stranger in our midst, experience him in the breaking of the bread – for that is our faith! That is our Easter life. Cardinal Tobin, who I have had the pleasure of working with here in New Jersey, said in an interview in response to what Pope Leo is doing “I’ve had the privilege of working closely with four popes, very different people in a lot of ways. But each one in some way was the right one for that moment in time. I believe that — Pope Leo is the right man at this time.” Now, I am not a Cardinal, but I can assure you this: Pope Leo is the right one for this time…and so are each of you. All of you are in this moment – this road to Emmaus moment – because you are the right person for this time. There will be people, sometimes powerful people, telling you to stay in your lane, perverting the gospel, trying to crucify Jesus. But you must continue on that Emmaus journey. You must recognize Jesus in the stranger, who yearns to draw near to you. Welcome him, share your pain with him, listen to him, experience him in the breaking of the bread, and then proclaim the gospel – even when it's risky. For that will always be a risk worth taking. Amen.

Although we mentioned in the Planet of the Vampires episode the copycat nature of Italian cinema in the 1960s, The 10th Victim by Elio Petri does not fit that mould. The film has a definite style that may offer commentary on Italian film, comics and culture but looks to set a new mould for films coming out of Italy. Cultural change in Europe and America in the 1960s came in many different flavours and with different driving forces. My excellent guests help to unravel the cultural context of this stylish cult classic. Stephen Gundle is a Professor of Film and Television at the University of Warwick.

Creator, Gene Roddenberry's vision of a future that was beyond the contemporary struggles of civil rights and racism and global Cold War tensions but very much aligned with the style of the 1960s. As a diverse crew faced alien planets and tackled ethical questions audience numbers dwindled and cancellation loomed. The show was finally axed in 1969 but a growing fanbase aided by syndication meant what could have been a small part of TV history actually became a huge phenomena.

Welcome back for another great filmmaker chat! Robb Padgett brought his feature film “Merry Heistmas” to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2025 and brought home the Grand Jury Awards for Best Feature Film- Comedy and Best Performance by a Cast in a Feature Film. Robb's film is an audience favorite and poor Robb has had to listen to me share not once but twice that, personally, I just do not like Christmas and that for me to thoroughly enjoy a film that features not just a Christmas-time setting but actual Christmas caroling is a gigantic accomplishment. It was a ton of fun to meet Robb at Sherman Oaks Film Festival and even more fun to have him on the podcast.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                You can watch “Merry Heistmas” right now and I recommend using Just Watch to watch it.

As always there are spoilers ahead! (And the podcast is much more fun if you've seen the film first.)

In the mid-60s his mind turned to science fiction and the result was a visually striking, choatic film about a dystopian world in which logic rules and love is punished. If you find the film confusing you are not alone and I have two brilliant academic brains to help us out. Roger Luckhurst is a Professor at Birkbeck, University of London. He has written/edited numerous articles and books on cultural history and film. Douglas Morrey is an associate professor of French at the University of Warwick. He has a special interest in the French new Wave on which he has written extensively, including the 2005 book Jean-Luc Godard. CORRECTION: In the podcast I mention Roger citing Alphaville having an image from Chris Marker's La Jetée but the image is actually Marker's photograph which is in the credit sequence but doesn not feature in La Jetée. The book of poetry in the film Capitale de la douleur (Capital of Pain) is written by Paul Elouard. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:40 French New Wave in 1965 03:38 Godard's influences for Alphaville 11:31 Eddie Constantine: The illogical Noir hero 16:43 Lemmy Caution and fascism  18:05 Alienation and confusion 25:52 Godard's technique and budgets 30:07 Sound design 32:30 The swimming pool execution scene 39:26 Love, poetry and Godard's divorce 47:00 Godard and women 49:30 Legacy 53:57 Recommendations   Recommendations: • The Trial written by Franz Kafka and made into a film by Orson Wells released in 1962. • Weekend (1967) by Godard.   NEXT EPISODE! Next episode we will be talking about Planet of the Vampires, the low budget 1965 dubbed delight by Mario Bava. The film is campy (and for me quite hilarious) as well as being famed for inspiring Alien (1979). (Perhaps a little overstated in this regard?) You can find the film to rent on Amazon, Apple, Flixfling and may find it on free platforms with ads in your region. You can check the JustWatch website for more details.   

Fateuary has come again, so it's time to discuss Unlimited Blade Works! (Minor technical note, a bunch of my audio got dropped due to poor mike placement on my end. That said, most of my contributions to the conversation was moderation, so you should be able to hear what Tora & David have to say without any issues.)

Dr Who was first broadcast in 1963 and with the help of some exterminating aliens a film was produced just a couple of years later. I speak to my wonderful Whovian guests about the origins, the hallmarks and the 1960s context of the infamous Doctor including the colourful and shiny 1960s feature films.  Paul Booth is a professor of Media and Pop Culture with a special interest in fandoms on which he has written extensively. He is co-editor of the book Adventures Across Space and Time: A Doctor Who Reader.  Lee Arnott is the co-host if the Problematic Gaze podcast. He is a social historian who is currently researching the the social history of Britain since the 1960s through the lens of Doctor Who. Although Australian composer Ron Gainer wrote the music for Dr Who it was Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop who produced the theme.  You can see the Delia Derbyshire clip I mention on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsRuhCflRyg Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 01:41The BBC origins of the series 04:45 The first episode, changes and differences on the big screen 09:40 The Daleks and Dalekmania 13:20 WW2, Nazis and nuclear fears 19:37 More Daleks 23:33 The Doctor 27:33 What is canon 29:21 The Companions 35:13 The Tardis 38:05 Design 42:02 (The best ever) theme tune 45:46 Legacy 49:22 Success and favourite doctors 53:04 Recommendations Recommendations:  Lee recommended The War Game (1965) and Paul recommended the book Dr. Who & The Daleks: The Official Story of the Films by John Walsh.     NEXT EPISODE! Next episode we will be discussing the 1965 French New Wave science fiction film Alphaville by Jean-Luc Godard. It is easy to rent on main streaming platforms as well as other places in the US including Mubi and Kanopy. To find the film in your region you can visit the Just Watch website.

The book was published in 1901 a year before Georges Méliès kicked off science fiction cinema with La Voyage dans la Lune in 1902. (You can learn more about that film in episode number 2 The First Science Fiction Film Ever.)  Then in the swinging 60s as the space race was heating up a collection of brilliant sci-fi filmmakers go together to make a story about a Victorian British scientist going to the moon with his anti-gravity material Cavorite! And yet even the amazing Ray Harryhausen stop motion special effects were not enough to make this film a success. My amazing guests break down the origins and outcomes of this mid-century oddity.  Keith Williams is a Reader in English Literature at the University of Dundee where he runs the science fiction programme. He has a special interest in the pre 1945 period and is the author of the book H.G. Wells, Modernity and the Movies. Matthew Rule-Jones is a senior lecturer in film studies at the University of Exeter and author of the book Science Fiction Cinema and 1950s Britain: Recontextualising Cultural Anxiety. At 6:09 Keith is about to explain the contraption that Robert William Paul was planning based on HG wells Time Machine. I interrupt him as we've covered this in two episodes priot. You can access more information about that on episode 37 The Time Machine: HG Wells' Legacy in 1960s Sci-Fi at timecode 23:07 or in episode 9 The Invisible Man Exposed at timecode 38:29. Chapters 00:00 Intro 02:23 HG Wells, selenites and Georges Méliès Trip to the Moon 06:57 Balancing act: Producer Charles Schneer vs Writer Nigel Kneale. 12:44 Box Office flop 15:12 Dreams of Empire and international cooperation 19:40 Steampunk sensibilities 22:26 The backdrop of the Space Race 26:58 Bedford and Cavor 33:20 Ray Harryhausen 37:50  NASA and the moon landing 41:12 Ant colonies and sci-fi 46:42 Legacy 50:10 Recommendations   Recommendations: The First Men in the Moon (2010) The Stone Tape (1972) available to view on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHgcpzzZspw   NEXT EPISODE! The next episode will feature two films:  Dr Who & the Daleks (1965) as well as Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966). These films are available to buy or stream on mainstream platforms like Apple and Prime as well as subscription services. The Just Watch website is a good resource for finding where films are available in your region.

On this week's episode, Sonny, Peter, and Alyssa break down why Mubi's fans are mad at Mubi and how silly it is that some of them have chosen to champion Tubi instead. (You can read the story discussed here.) Then they take turns reviewing Die My Love, Sentimental Value, and It Was Just an Accident. (Links take you to the JustWatch pages for all those films, which will help you find where to stream them on VOD.) As always, there will be some spoiler talk about those movies, so please don't yell at us if you come across plot points without having seen the films!Make sure to check out the chat.

A few years later when Stanley Kubrick was looking to make a (serious) film about the topic he was recommended the book.   Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb was the resulting film. The film takes aim at military strategy, rhetoric and the people involved to give us one of the most famous satires in cinema.   It would be quite easy to double the length of this episode, but we've tried to fit as much as we can into the hour with my two remarkable guests.   Mark Bould is a professor of Film and Literature at the University of West England, Bristol. He has written/edited extensively about science fiction cinema.   Rodney F Hill is a Professor of Film at the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication at Hofstra University and has written extensively about film.   This is the article I mention by Eric Schlosser: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/almost-everything-in-dr-strangelove-was-true   Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:12 Source material 03:12 The threat of Lumet's Fail Safe 05:35 Herman Kahn, winnable nuclear war and the doomsday machine 08:25 Nazi scientist Wernher von Braun and Operation Paperclip 13:55 Nuclear policy and the Cold War 17:23 Doomsday comedy 25:51 Masculinity, techno-eroticism and bodily fluids 33:21 Peter Sellers 38:04 1960s satire boom 40:11 Production design of Ken Adam 41:25 Music 43:27 The changes to the film 46:32 Legacy 54:34 Recommendations     Recommendations: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Fail Safe (1964).   NEXT EPISODE! Next episode we will be talking about First Men on the Moon (1964). The film is based on the HG Wells novel and features stop motion animation by Ray Harryhausen. It is is available to stream and rent from Apple. The Just Watch website can give you a list of where the film is available in your region.

X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes is a colourful, psychedelic, 1960s extravaganza with aspirations of transcendence. If you wanted to join in, you can watch the film X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes from 1963 first. DVDs of the film are available, but it is also available to rent and watch online on Apple TV and many other platforms. You can check the Just Watch website to see where it is available in your region. Oscar winner Ray Milland (we heard a bit about him in the Panic in Year Zero! episode) stars as a mad scientist who creates a serum that will help him understand the secret of life itself. A serum that unlocks the 90% of the visible spectrum that is beyond our realm of vision. The film is fun and pacey and the tone is once again firmly in the 1960s. I have two excellent guests to help us unravel the minds and life's mysteries around what could be Corman's magnus opus. Barry Keith Grant is professor Emeritus of Film Studies at Brock University Canada. He has written/edited numerous books, articles and essays about science fiction cinema. John Wills is a Professor of American Media and Culture at the University of Kent. He has written lots about popular culture including 1950s American and Nuclear film.

Next episode we are heading back to the Eastern Bloc with the Czech 1963 scifi Ikarie XB-1. In terms of watching it, the American version is titled Voyage to the End of the Universe and is a different edit. Although Just Watch advertises the English language title it seems to not differentiate which edit is available. The original is available on The Criterion channel and also cultpix.com.        

What are the 4Qs? (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out.

Maxwell Hamilton produced and starred in “The Mannequin,” a feature length horror film that came to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 and took home a little award that we like to call the Grand Jury Award for Best Feature Film, Horror.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 But you can add a few more to the list, including Best Screenplay - Feature Film for John Berardo, Best Cinematography - Feature Film for Jonathan Pope, and Best Production Design - Feature Film for Emily Peters. I was excited to get to have an extended chat with Maxwell and that was BEFORE he helped me put it together that his onscreen role is one of my favorites in the film.                                                                     In fact, I feel safe saying that Maxwell delivers an absolutely crucial performance during the film's climax. I hope you enjoy our conversation and I urge you to watch, review and support The Mannequin! How?

And it is a political thriller. But it also fits neatly into my concept of science fiction. To learn more about what is and isn't science fiction you can head to the heady days of the first episode where the topic is discussed with science fiction scholars Lisa Yaszek and Glyn Morgan. (Please do excuse the fear in my eyes.) Just a few years later a film was made by John Frankenheimer, starring Fred Astaire, Janet Leigh and a brilliant and manipulative Angela Lansbury. The 1960s USA is in peak cold war fears, and the CIA is undertaking covert operations of their own, with the MKUltra programme, testing on humans to discover whether they can be manipulated and brainwashed. Although this film continues many themes from the 1950s it is definitely a product of the new age as culture shifts and a new batch of Hollywood directors take cinema in a different direction. I am lucky to have two brilliant guests to talk us through the themes and context of this film. Ian Scott is a Professor of American Film and History at The University of Manchester. He has written extensively about politics and film in Hollywood including the book American Politics in Hollywood Film. Sherryl Vint is Professor of Science Fiction Media Studies at the University of California, Riverside. She has written/edited many books about science fiction.

I will be covering Seconds in the near future so you can get ahead by watching it if you like!   NEXT EPISODE! Next episode we will be discussing the Roger Corman film X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes from 1963 starring Ray Milland. DVDs of the film are available but it is also available to rent and watch online on Apple TV and many other platforms. You can check the Just Watch website to see where it is available in your region.

There are spoilers ahead for all versions of The Day of the Triffids and also for the film Signs. You can follow the podcast on social media on Threads, Instagram and Bluesky.  If you would like to be a patron of the podcast you can join Patreon and for £3 or $3 a month you can get ad free version of the show. https://www.patreon.com/everyscififilm  This episode had been edited down to a more digestible length of under an hour but a longer (audio only) version is available for Patreon subscribers (alongside the shorter option). We are doing things a little differently and discussing the 1963 film along with the source material which is John Wyndham's 1951 book The Day of the Triffids. The Day of the Triffids film was released in 1963 after reshoots were required to add a whole new arc in the story and bring the time to a more suitable length for a feature. The film has many of the hallmarks of a 1950s science fiction film but seems to be reflective of the Golden Era of science fiction very much coming to its end. The film is (very loosely) based on John Wyndham's first successful novel but seems more dedicated to the tropes of a 1950s sci-fi marketed for a mass, US leaning audience. The book is chockful of themes that are touched upon throughout the story which have very little (if any) presence in the film. I have added a list of the characters we discuss below as well as a quick overview of their roles in the book and the film. As usual I have two insightful guests to help us understand all of this. Matthew Rule-Jones is a senior lecturer in film studies at the University of Exeter and author of the book Science Fiction Cinema and 1950s Britain: Recontextualising Cultural Anxiety. Adam Stock is a senior lecturer in English Literature at York St John University and author of the book Dystopian Fiction and Political Thought: Narratives of World Politics. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:30 John Wyndham's first hit 05:23 The concept of the cosy catastrophe 08:43 Wyndham's Britain: post-colonial triffids coming home to roost 14:48 The 1963 film: Wells, end of the golden age and marketing 20:04 The lighthouse sequences: Karen vs Josella 23:06 Weed killers in The Silent Spring era and WW2 imagery 25:17 The role of the Triffids 30:37 Bill Masen the hero 34:37 Coker's missing role 37:11 Women! 40:27 The ending 46:51 Legacy 53:57 Recommendations Bill Masen: Hero in both the book and the film. In the book Bill is English and works for the triffid farm where he has been almost blinded by a triffid sting. His colleague begins to suspect the triffids are indeed sentient and able to communicate. This brings up questions around exploitation and enslavement. In the film Bill is American and works for the US Navy who help save the hero and other survivors at the end of the film. Josella Playton: The heroine from the novel is not present in the 1963 film. Josella comes from a wealthy family (one with servants) and has written a notorious book titled Sex is my Adventure. Coker: Coker has a large role in the book and we meet him as an advocate for the newly blinded masses when many of the few sighted people left are attempting to save themselves from the threat of a disintegrating society. He is a strong public speaker from a working-class background who had learned to speak in a way that is more amenable to the intelligentsia and upper classes. His strongly held beliefs (of forcing the sighted to serve the blind) change through the book to become less idealistic and more practical. Coker in the film is an old man with a very minimal role who dies early in the story form a triffid attack. Susan: Is a young girl who is rescued by Bill in the film after a train crash and ensuing chaos. In the book Bill takes in Susan whose family have died. She is a capable young child who develops an understanding of triffid behaviour from observing them as she guards the home that Josella and Bill stay in for many years. Miss Durrant: In the film Miss Durrant is the beautiful heroine that Bill meets in a large house in France that is caring from blind survivors of the meteor shower. In the book, Miss Durrant is a religious minded woman who is appalled at a man named Beadley's attempts to rebuild society through polygamy. She seems to purposefully mislead Bill who is trying to track down Beadley because he thinks Josella will be with him. NEXT EPISODE! Next episode we will be speaking about The Manchurian Candidate from 1962 by John Frankenheimer. A film that may not fit the definition of science fiction for many people but by now I think we know how ambiguous those definitions can be! You can find the film on streaming platforms including Apple TV. The Just Watch website is a good resource to find where the film is available online in your region.

I have marked the beginning of that part of the discussion with a beep and the discussion lasts for four minutes and four seconds after the beep if you wanted to skip past it.    Last week we told you “Don't Panic!” but this week we focus in on the panic.    Panic in Year Zero was directed by and stars Ray Milland and is about a father taking his family on the road to do some camping. One the way there a nuclear bomb is dropped on Los Angeles and the world starts to fall into disarray. Not because of the bomb causing devastation or radiation but because of how human s are absolute nutters given the slightest chance.   This film has a very 1950s sensibility but with a Jazz laden soundtrack that hints at the unruly decade ahead.   The Federal Civil Defense Administration in the US in the early 50s was set up by President Truman to educate and prepare the public in case of an attack on US soil. The short film mentioned in the discussion The House in the Middle can be viewed on YouTube here.    This episode we talk not just about the film but the human fascination with apocalypse. I have the perfect guests for the task.   Steven Schlozman is a psychiatrist and a writer of books including the novel The Zombie Autopsies which was being adapted to film by George Romero before his death in 2017.   John Wills is a Professor of American Media and Culture at the University of Kent. He has written lots about popular culture including 1950s American and Nuclear film.   Chapters   00:00 Introduction 01:52 The non-nuclear nuclear film 07:10 Nuclear drills in schools 10:07 USA nuclear prep: Civilian education and CONELRAD 16:33 Jazz music and sociopaths 20:05 Daddy's gaze 26:39 The fun of Armageddon 32:02 The developmental stage of apocalypse fantasy 37:35 Ann is always wrong 39:21 Sexual violence 43:27 A pre-cursor to zombie apocalypse 48:25 Legacy 52:45 Recommendations for the listener   Recommendations Steven: The Day After (1983) is a made for TV film. John: The book Every Home a Fortress: Cold War Fatherhood and the Family Fallout Shelter by Thomas Bishop   NEXT EPISODE! Next episode we will be discussing The Day of the Triffids! Although we will be using the 1963 film as a starting point there will be a lot of discussion about the original novel and the differences between the theme heavy book and the fun 50s style scifi of the film.   The film can be found on Fubo, Roku, Pluto and Plex and a few other online streaming platforms in the US and UK. The Just Watch website is a good resource to find where the film may be available in your region.

Brent Billings, Josh Bossé, and Elle Grover Fricks consider what is truly important.Persona (1966 film) — JustWatch

John Oliver BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.John Oliver remains at the center of sharp-tongued satire and headline-making stunts this week. His most buzzed-about moment came from a high-profile interview circuit following his audacious million-dollar offer to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign, a story that's setting media abuzz and likely to linger in the public consciousness for some time, according to a recent appearance detailed on YouTube. In the same interview, Oliver also dived into the meticulous planning behind that offer, giving viewers a glimpse into the mix of sincerity and mischief that defines his approach. Other memorable tidbits from those interviews include being booed at a Sesame Street gala and donning a full pirate costume at a party—a detail that generated laughs on social media and was apparently a point of contention with his wife. He also reminisced about his parents seeing him on Late Night, underscoring the human side of his relentless public persona.Professionally, Oliver continues to co-headline a popular live residency with Seth Meyers at New York's Beacon Theatre, with shows running monthly through the end of 2025—dates on July 27, September 21, October 26, November 23, and December 14 are all confirmed. According to both MSG.com and Ticketmaster, this residency is proving a hot ticket and positions Oliver as a marquee draw in contemporary comedy, keeping him firmly in the live performance spotlight.Meanwhile, on HBO, his flagship show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver keeps on rolling, with its July 7 episode delivering the usual blend of deep dives and headline commentary. Recent episodes, as noted by outlets like IMDb and JustWatch, continue to feature Oliver's signature in-depth analysis and witty critique, tackling everything from politics to global oddities. These episodes regularly stir up discussion on social media, and although specifics on viral moments from this week are unconfirmed, there is routine online buzz following each broadcast.There are no credible reports of major business ventures or new endorsements in the past few days, nor has Oliver been associated with any controversies beyond his usual satirical targets. The only speculative chatter surrounds whether his Clarence Thomas resignation stunt could have broader legal or political repercussions, but as of now, that remains in the realm of pundit speculation.As always, John Oliver's blend of incisive commentary, headline-grabbing antics, and endearing personal quirks keeps him firmly on the radar, with each appearance and broadcast offering fresh fodder for fans and commentators alike.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
