Journey Through Sci-Fi

Satirising Mad Science - Dr. Strangelove (1964) & Young Frankenstein (1974)


Listen Later

This week on Journey Through Sci-Fi, we examine how Stanley Kubrick's Doctor Strangelove (1964) and Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974). cleverly parody the mad scientist archetype. Whether it's triggering global catastrophe or reanimating the dead, these films remind us that playing god can lead to comedic—and catastrophic—consequences.
