Brad Schwartz, author of 'Broadcast Hysteria: Orson Welles's War of the Worlds and the Art of Fake News'.

The A-bomb had contributed to this soft reign of terror. It had also fired a period of excitement and fertility in the neglected field of science fiction. Before WWII, sci-fi in film was widespread, with examples such as Lang's hallmark Metropolis, Things To Come, the silent 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, The Lost World, and serials populated by Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. The war had shifted the focus, to combat and military films, propaganda, home-front boosterism, and escapism. The war also brought awareness of the application of science to conflict. Atomic power had brought an entirely new set of horrific sci-fi characters --- as embodied by Bela Lugosi, played by Martin Landau in the film Ed Wood: “Today it's all giant bugs. Giant spiders, giant grasshoppers...” Increasingly, sci-fi enemies came from the outside, from other worlds loosening tremendous power upon the Earth, or beings from our world mutated and terribly changed by atomic power. Or sometimes, both. Aliens of all types were lurking every week at the Bijou in the 1950s. The Day The Earth Stood Still. The Thing From Another World, The War Of The Worlds. Some of these films were silly, and as characterized by Lugosi/Landau --- giant bugs. Some became classics, despite their pedigree, as in the film Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. The 1956 offering had an unlikely path to greatness, but it's stood the test of time because of the themes that run through its bones.Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

Send us a textCould you survive an alien invasion? When towering tripods emerge from beneath the streets, using humans as gardening material for mysterious red plants, would you know what to do?Steven Spielberg's 2005 adaptation of War of the Worlds offers a masterclass in both catastrophic alien invasion scenarios and questionable parenting choices. Tom Cruise plays Ray Ferrier, a divorced father who suddenly must protect his estranged children from death rays, human desperation, and unhinged basement dwellers.Throughout our discussion, we break down the critical survival strategies that work in this film - and potentially in real-world disasters too. Ray's resourcefulness with vehicles becomes crucial, while his decision to flee rather than hunker down proves wise given his lack of supplies. We analyze the importance of stealth movement, avoiding confrontation, and the psychological challenges of parenting during crisis. The basement scene particularly highlights the fine line between finding shelter and becoming trapped with unpredictable strangers.What fascinates us most is the film's exploration of human resilience. The aliens' ultimate downfall comes not from military might but from Earth's bacteria - organisms we've evolved alongside for millennia. This unexpected alliance between humans and microbes delivers a powerful message about adaptation and belonging. As Morgan Freeman's narration suggests, we've earned our place on this planet through countless generations of survival.Whether you're preparing for the apocalypse or just enjoying disaster cinema, join us as we dissect alien tactics, breakdown of social order, and the surprising advantages humans might have against technologically superior invaders. Remember - having a well-stocked pantry and keeping your Faraday bag ready could make all the difference when the tripods arrive!

In October of 1939, just before Halloween, the folks at CBS wanted to cook up something special to scare the kiddies young and old, and they definitely did.

Matt also goes into the wild broadcast aftermath that happened later in Quito, Ecuador.They also talk about silly geese, the classics, WWII weirdness, giant offset trucks, and the infamous missing food from Episode 46...

Twenty years ago, Steven Spielberg directing Tom Cruise seemed like a match made in blockbuster movie heaven. War of the Worlds was certainly successful but didn't quite become the classic that it should have been. Why wasn't it better? Patrick and Anton try to find out.___Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_officialTwitter: https://twitter.com/WWIBpodcastSubscribe!

It's not just a horror movie with a killer horse with a horn. There's much more to the story and themes of the film. Jay is still enjoying westerns with a variety of tellings of the same, classic story. Tombstone (1993) and Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957). Inspired by news of Val Kilmer, Tombstone reminds us why this performance is so well loved. And Gunfight… spotlights the decade it was made with a different kind of interpretation. Check them all out and let us know how you like them.      Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay analyzes the first movie in the newest Planet of the Apes franchise. 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes started off as it's own story, not connected to the idea that the originals created. But it soon became obvious that it was much more complex. An interesting take on how those Apes could have come into power. Read his article on RetroZap.com.

Phil and Emily continue their Tom Cruise Mini-Series with one of the most intense blockbusters of the 2000s—Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds!

On a warm Halloween Eve, October 30, 1938, during a broadcast of H G. Wells' War of the Worlds, Orson Welles held his hands up for radio silence in the CBS studio in New York City while millions of people ran out into the night screaming, grabbed shotguns, drove off in cars, and hid in basements, attics, or anywhere they could find to get away from Martians intent on exterminating the human race. As Welles held up his hands to his fellow actors, musicians, and sound technicians, he turned six seconds of radio silence—dead air—into absolute horror, changing the way the world would view media forever, and making himself one of the most famous men in America. The revisionism lately of Orson Welles War of the Worlds 1938 broadcast is that it did not affect many beyond l the East Coast and most people did not believe Martians had invaded and were exterminating the human race with heat ray guns and poisonous gas. William Hazelgrove's new book “Dead Air The Night Orson Welles Terrified America,” points to a different America thrown into mass panic from the broadcast produced and directed by the twenty-three-year-old Welles.Did people really believe that Martians were exterminating the human race and did mass panic engulf the country? Willliam Hazelgrove makes a convincing case people did believe the broadcast and the ensuing terror and panic was a real time example of what would happen if aliens ever did land on earth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Something mysterious has been going down in New Jersey this week…but it's NOT drones. It's that thousands of people are looking at airplanes in the night sky and thinking they see UFOs. What causes mass delusions like this wave of now mostly debunked drone sightings? In this concluding episode of How We Got Here, Max and Erin share four stories of famous mass hysterias and talk to William Bernstein, an author who writes about the science of mass delusions and why they happen.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Sheriff Shaun Golden—Sheriff for Monmouth County—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about the mysterious drone sightings throughout New Jersey. He says these drones are flying over sensitive areas, and restrictive air space, despite White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby telling the press they aren't. 5:15pm- Earlier in the day CBS News was in Hillsborough, New Jersey where there were reports that a drone had crash landed in the area. Firefighters, emergency response crews, and hazardous material units were all on scene. Rich jokes that today's broadcast sounds eerily similar to Orson Welles's 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. 5:20pm- Is Kamala Harris Drunk at a Christmas party? 5:25pm- On MSNBC, Joy Reid dismissed Donald Trump being named Time Magazine's Person of the Year—noting that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Vladmir Putin have all been given the title.

In a post to Truth Social, the president-elect wrote: “Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge. I don't think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!”
