7: Forbidden Planet


Listen Later

Tola and Tim got together with our families this summer to watch Forbidden Planet. Join us as we discuss Leslie Nielsen vs George Pappard, the archetypes of Star Trek, robot gender, philology, Born Sexy Yesterday, creepy creepers being creepy, Powers of Ten, bourbon-generating robots, murderous tree sloths, the Wizard of Id, Dark Phoenix, The Lady and the Tiger, and how thrilled we are to be working together again on the future of human spaceflight.

Final score: Science: 70%, Fiction: 80%, Film: 88%

Next up - Soderbergh's Solaris (2002, Tola's favorite film of all time)
