This week on Journey Through Sci-Fi, we’re disussing a couple of scientists who lose the plot thanks to their own experiments. First up, it’s a 1930s classic—The Invisible Ray (1936)—where Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi team up for a tale of cosmic rays, glowing death touches, and some tense scientific rivalry. Then, we fast-forward to Sam Raimi’s Darkman (1990), where Liam Neeson stars as a disfigured anti-hero who takes matters (and masks) into his own hands after a lab explosion.

We’re unpacking the film history, the genre tropes, and why these stories of mad science still hold up. So grab your goggles and join us for another double dose of sci-fi madness.
