For full detailed show notes (without character limits), including the titles of the films mentioned or shown, you can choose the episode on the watch page here: https://www.everyscififilm.com/watch Description: The idea of the ‘mad scientist' has been with us for a very long time. In the early 1930s science fiction (and horror) films proliferated with the trope. Metropolis (1927) had already had the remarkable Rotwang who was a prototype that would go on to be referenced in Stanley Kubrick's character Dr Strangelove (1964) with his black-gloved hand. But why has the mad scientist become a staple of cinema? And why were the 1930s and 40s a time when Dr Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll and the many other crazed scientists (including several played by Boris Karloff) became so commonplace? Luckily we have two wonderful brains ripe for picking!* The Experts Thomas Doherty is a professor of American Studies at Brandeis University; he is a cultural historian with a special interest in Hollywood cinema on which he has written extensively. Xavier Aldana Reyes is a Reader in English Literature and Film at Manchester Metropolitan University with a special interest in the Gothic. His books include the fiction anthology Promethean Horrors: Classic Tales of Mad Science. *Disclaimer: No human brain transplants were carried out on unwilling participants during the making of this podcast. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:05 The Great Depression and the Hays Code 06:24 How World War I changed perceptions of science 07:38 Frankenstein, Faust and forbidden knowledge 11:33 The male mad scientists and the lack of female ones16:13 Religion, magic and science20:20 Eugenics, miscegenation and The Code25:26 Anti-authoritarianism, psychoanalysis, Leopold and Loeb33:34 Einstein, real science and the beneficial scientists43:00 The legacy of the mad scientist48:12 Recommendations for the listeners and outroNEXT EPISODE!I have a lot of detours planned ahead (which you can learn about in the outro).

As with all episodes of this podcast there are spoilers ahead!For full detailed shownotes (without character limits) you can choose the episode on the watch page here.If you would like to watch the Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers film serials they are available on YouTube. (Warning: the serials are repetitive and there are three Flash Gordon serials and one Buck Rogers!) The 1980 Mike Hodges Flash Gordon film is available to rent or buy at an array of outlets including Apple TV. Although it was Buck Rogers that triggered an array of copies after the comic strip was published in 1929, it is Flash Gordon  (one of those copies) that went on to have a film serial made with a lavish budget by Universal Pictures in 1936. Buck Rogers has had a significant impact in popular culture but the trajectory of Flash Gordon has eclipsed it in many ways.This week's experts bring you all their knowledge about how this came to be.The ExpertsJay Telotte is Professor Emeritus of film and media studies at Georgia Tech.

Boris Karloff who came to fame for playing the monster in Frankenstein (1931) plays the role of the mad scientist in multiple films during this period, many that stray away from the science fiction genre or have a strong crossover with horror film. Some of these are: The Man Who Changed his Mind (1936), The Invisible Ray (1936), Black Friday (1940) and The Man with Nine Lives (1940).Aside from those we also have the film Frankenstein (1931), The Invisible Man (1933), The Island of Lost Souls(1932) and both Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde films (1931 and 1941). Metropolis (1927) has the scientist Rotwang who is an excellent earlier example of this trope.You can check JustWatch to find where these films are available to buy, rent or stream in your region. I have found many on Apple TV and some are available on YouTube.
