IN CINEMAS THIS MONTH
In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we dive into the cinematic history of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. From the early 1912 silent film to the groundbreaking 1931 adaptation, we explore how filmmakers brought Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story to life on screen. We’ll break down the incredible visual effects, dive into the pre-code era’s bold storytelling, and discuss why this tale of good versus evil became a cornerstone of genre cinema.
Join us for a deep dive into one of film history’s most iconic transformations!

Join us on a new journey through sci-fi as we dive into the sub genre of Mad Science. In our first episode, we explore Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, often seen as the first science fiction novel. We'll discuss Shelley’s inspirations and examine two early film adaptations: the 1910 silent film and the iconic 1931 version by James Whale and Universal pictures. Discover how these adaptations shaped the "mad scientist" trope and influenced sci-fi cinema. Let the madness begin!

It’s that time in the series when we dip back into the Star Trek universe and see how it stacks up in our chosen subgenre. This time, we’re chatting about J.J.

We’ll explore how these iterations of Star Trek continue to push the boundaries of Space Opera while honoring the legacy of the original series.

This week, we’re tackling the big daddy of Space Opera—but this time, the House of Mouse is running the show. We’re diving deep into the Disney Star Wars trilogy, The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019). We’ll unpack what happened to the much-beloved Star Wars saga once George Lucas handed over the keys to Bob Iger, J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson, and Colin Trevorrow for a new trilogy of films that continue the story from Episode VI of the ‘Skywalker Saga.’
Join us as we explore the highs and lows of this controversial trilogy and discuss its impact on the legacy of Star Wars.
