The Bubble has trapped Chris and Charlotte, who keep saying things about Arch Oboler, radio horror, wartime hitchhikers, zoos in space, and the side effects of childbirth.
The Bubble (Arch Oboler, 1966): MST3K Wiki. IMDB. Trailer.
Our episode on Fugitive Alien and Edmond Hamilton.
Leigh Brackett.
Salted egg seaweed crisps.
Brian David Gilbert making pepcorn.
Toronto Event Generator by Misha Glouberman, and Billy’s Popsicle Stand.
Our episodes on Manos and San Francisco International.
Arch Oboler’s radio plays can be found on Archive.org: Lights Out and Plays for Americans include the episodes we discuss, but there so much more.
After recording, we discovered that someone is working on a biography of Arch Oboler, and the Library of Congress has a whole collection of his work. So that’s good!
We talk about fictional human zoos for aliens in this episode, but human zoos (for humans) were a real and terrible thing.
Edward D. Hoch: The Zoo.
The Twilight Zone: People Are Alike All Over.
We discuss Slaughterhouse-Five in our episode on The Slime People.
Mary Poppins: The Chimpanzoo. (See also the Disney wiki.)
