As always there are spoilers ahead!   If you'd like to join in on more conversations and keep up to date on what I'm working on you can follow me on social media: Threads, Instagram and Bluesky.    After last episode's UK village setting we stay in the country but head to London for a newsroom apocalyptic drama. We have more hints that we are heading into the 60s with a surly hero and a sultry ex-Disney heroine.   The Day the Earth Caught Fire was finally released in 1961 after eight years of director Val Guest trying to get the film made. Perhaps the mid-50s Britian wasn't ready for this story although it would be interesting to see what kind of differences there would have been. (Val Guest was busy making The Quatermass Xperiment during that time!)   I welcome back two excellent guests to teach us more about this film.   Jay Telotte is Professor Emeritus of film and media studies at Georgia Tech. He has written/edited numerous books and articles about science fiction film including the 2023 book Selling Science Fiction Cinema.   Glyn Morgan is Head of Collections and Principal Curator at the Science Museum in London and a science fiction scholar.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:17 1961: Anxiety, British Free Cinema & Angry Young Men 07:28 The CND and memories of the war 08:05 The highs and lows of Cli-Fi 13:16 The beginning of the end 15:47 Val Guest 18:43 Snappy dialogue or too much talk? 22:25 The newsroom 27:40 Arthur Christiansen 30:06 The surlier hero 34:47 Janet Munroe 37:05 Disney & breaking out of type 41:06 One foot firmly in the 60s 42:09 Ambiguous and alternate endings 46:39 Legacy 51:57 Recommendations   NEXT EPISODE! Next week we will be talking about the beautiful, half hour long, science fiction art film La Jetée (1962) that 12 Monkeys was based on. You can find the film on Apple, Amazon and also on YouTube but the version with English subtitles is not great quality.

The Montshire Museum in Norwich has exhibits throughout its trails geared towards being present in the natural world and to process grief.

You don't have to check your religion at the door at the Science Museum of Tennessee. You also don't have to suspend your scientific knowledge to enter its portals. In fact, both your faith and your intellect will be stimulated by the intense marriage of the two. And not only that, but their meeting will also have a profound effect on both. And you may realize that science and faith come from the same source: God Almighty. David Rives, founder of the Wonders Center & Science Museum in Dickson, Tennessee, explains how science, if understood correctly, can enhance faith, not destroy it. The Bible's Psalm 19 says, "The Heavens declare the glory of God... that day after day they pour forth speech." To Rives, the Psalm simply presents in poetry what his scientific mind has discovered materially. Since God created both our mind and the universe, they communicate with each other, providing us with a complete picture of the wonders of creation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Unveiling Secrets: Mystery at Budapest's Science Museum Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-06-01-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A tavaszi zápor épp elvonulóban volt Budapest felett, ahogy a Szentháromság ünnepének vidám színeivel borított városban megnyílt a Tudományos Múzeum új kiállítása.En: The spring shower was just passing over Budapest, as the Science Museum's new exhibition opened in the city adorned with the cheerful colors of the Holy Trinity celebration.Hu: A csodálatos épület, amely ötvözte a klasszikus és modern stílust, élettel telt meg.En: The magnificent building, which blended classical and modern styles, was filled with life.Hu: Janos, a múzeum kíváncsi kurátora, izgatottan várt a bejáratnál.En: Janos, the museum's curious curator, waited excitedly at the entrance.Hu: Az ő szíve napok óta izgult az új kiállítás miatt, melynek fő látványossága egy ritka, ókori műtárgy volt.En: His heart had been excited for days about the new exhibition, whose main attraction was a rare ancient artifact.Hu: E műtárgy jelentősége éppen olyan nagy volt, mint amennyire sejtelmes.En: This artifact's significance was as great as it was mysterious.Hu: - Üdv, Janos!En: "Hello, Janos!"Hu: - kiáltotta Bela, kollégája, aki mindig versengésre készült, de egy jó rejtélyre is.En: shouted Bela, his colleague, who was always ready for competition, but also intrigued by a good mystery.Hu: - Hallottad, hogy valami érdekesről fecsegnek a látogatók?En: "Did you hear that the visitors are gossiping about something interesting?"Hu: Janos bólintott.En: Janos nodded.Hu: Az emberek izgatottsága nem csökkent a hír hallatán, hogy a ritka műtárgy titokzatos módon eltűnt.En: The excitement of the people didn't diminish upon hearing the news that the rare artifact had mysteriously disappeared.Hu: Janosnak bizonyítania kellett.En: Janos had to prove himself.Hu: Szerette volna megmutatni, hogy méltó a múzeum tiszteletére, és minden erejével azon volt, hogy bebizonyítsa, nem csupán egy egyszerű segédkurátor.En: He wanted to show that he was worthy of the museum's respect and was determined to prove that he was not just an ordinary assistant curator.Hu: A kiállítótermekben egy fiatal nő, Katalin, szorgalmasan figyelte a történéseket.En: In the exhibition rooms, a young woman, Katalin, diligently observed the happenings.Hu: Amatőr detektívként soha nem hagyta figyelmen kívül az izgalmas kihívásokat.En: As an amateur detective, she never ignored exciting challenges.Hu: Bár nem volt hivatalos képzettsége, elszántsága és éles elméje figyelemre méltó volt.En: Although she had no formal training, her determination and sharp mind were remarkable.Hu: Az idő szorításában Janos úgy döntött, hogy elfogadja Katalin segítségét.En: Under time pressure, Janos decided to accept Katalin's help.Hu: Ez új volt számára, de szüksége volt minden segítségre.En: This was new for him, but he needed all the help he could get.Hu: Bela, bár hajlamos volt a dolgokat túlzó módon kezelni, szintén a csapat részévé vált.En: Bela, although prone to handling things in an exaggerated manner, also became part of the team.Hu: Ahogy a nap perzselő sugarai behatoltak a szobákba, és egyre több látogató érkezett, a trió számtalan nyomot követett.En: As the sun's scorching rays penetrated the rooms, and more and more visitors arrived, the trio followed numerous clues.Hu: Egyik éjjel, amikor a múzeum elhagyatott és csendes volt, úgy döntöttek, hogy visszatérnek.En: One night, when the museum was deserted and silent, they decided to return.Hu: Katalin figyelmét egy régi falpanel ragadta meg, amely elütött a környezetétől.En: Katalin was drawn to an old wall panel that stood out from its surroundings.Hu: Janos gyanakodva lépett közelebb, és véletlenül elmozdította a panelt.En: Suspiciously, Janos stepped closer and accidentally shifted the panel.Hu: A panel mögött egy titkos átjáró tárult fel, amely mélyen a múzeum belsejébe vezetett.En: Behind the panel, a secret passageway was revealed, leading deep into the museum's interior.Hu: Az átjáró a bátor felfedezőket egy rejtekhelyre vezette, ahol megdöbbentően ott volt az eltűnt műtárgy!En: The passageway led the brave explorers to a hidden place where, astonishingly, the missing artifact was!Hu: -

An intimate account of Albert Einstein's visit to Oxford in the 1930's, casting new light on why he continues to be the world's most famous scientist.In 1931, Albert Einstein visited Oxford to receive an honorary degree and lecture on relativity and the universe. While teaching, he naturally chalked equations and diagrams on several blackboards. Today, one of these boards is the most popular object in Oxford's History of Science Museum. Yet Einstein tried to prevent its preservation because he was modest about his legendary status. Having failed, he complained to his diary: “Not even a cart-horse could endure so much!”Nevertheless, he came back to Oxford in 1932 and again in 1933—then as a refugee from Nazi Germany. In many ways, the city appealed deeply and revealed him at his most charismatic as he participated in its science, music, and politics, and wandered its streets alone. Einstein in Oxford is an eye-opening exploration of the world's most famous scientist, told through the personal writings he left behind from an important period of his life. From the pages of his diary entries, poem, and other written observations, readers gain a deeper understanding of the unique man—and humor—who continues to fascinate the world.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://www.wellingtonsquarebooks.com
