  • ATOMIC BOMBS ON FILM

    Prometheus was a Titan who stole fire from the Gods and gave it to humanity.  Ever since then,  humans have grappled with the ambivalence of technological advancement and the sometimes inherent destructiveness of that which was created. This is no more evident than in films about, or featuring atomic bombs. From THE BEGINNING OF THE END (1947) to OPPENHEIMER  (2023)  movies have showed our intimate feelings about what we hath wrought. And now, there is a new technological advancement that threatens something more than just fire, how we think. Join MC Garen Daly along with film programmer Melissa Starker and film director Dave Gianacola as they open the bomb bay doors and drop a new podcast.

    Some fo the films discussed: Gojira, Blast from the Past, Terminator 2,  DR Strangelove and more

  • The Golden Age of Slashers! A Boston SciFi Presents Podcast

    Something happened to movies in the 1980s. There was a sudden spate of cheaply made, sometimes poorly acted films centered around bloody deaths.

Here to read the entrails and enlighten us is film director Hope Madden (Obstacle Corpse) and Boston Hassle Film critic Alexis den Boggende. So kick back and enjoy. Oh, I wouldn't go into the basement if I were you.
