December 29, 2021082: THE STARLOST starring Keir Dullea
Just in time for New Year's, the IMMP Holiday in Space ends with a saga starring Keir Dullea as an adventurous young man navigating physical and existential perils aboard a dangerous spacecraft with a faulty computer.
So sure, it's kind of like 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. But it's not. It's the 1973 Canadian TV series THE STARLOST.

November 29, 2021080: 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
In the year 1968, Stanley Kubrick offered a vision of what life would be like in the year 2001. And that vision was "very bright, very glossy, very high tech, very trippy." This week the IMMP addresses 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.

November 15, 2021079: REMINGTON STEELE
Mystery and romance with some "will they or won't they?" tension. There was a lot of that in 80s TV. Where did it start? Some would say right here, with Pierce Bronson and Stephanie Zimbalist starring in REMINGTON STEELE.
