Rocket Surgery takes a time machine back to 1930 for “Just Imagine,” a visionary view of the far future of 1980 that’s three movies in one—and feels like it. Then we jump to the real 1980 where, instead of evil martian twins, we find “Flash Gordon,” quarterback, New York Jets.

Rocket Surgery: 1930 to 1980

Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, Moisés Chiullán, Shelly Brisbin, Monty Ashley and David J. Loehr
