Decipher SciFi

Frankenstein: science fiction horror, reanimation, and victorian context w/ Joe Ruppel


Listen Later

Mary Shelley and The Book

Volcanoes and the year with no summer. Women writing books. Philosophers and children of philosophers.

Trendsetting

The movie vs the book. The beginning of scifi. The ways that each broke boundaries in their own ways.

Scary

Was it scary at the time? The movie intro. Everything that’s cliché now was new once.

Playing God

Science, evil science, and playing god. The ethics of mad science.

Science Horror

How to take the cutting edge and make it a horror story. Electricity. X-rays. Quantum stuff. Nano bio tech now? Deepak Chopra is full of crap.
