September 18, 2024 Zardoz and the humiliation of Sean Connery
Why do we love science fiction movies?
Sometimes it’s because they take us to strange new worlds.
Other times they just have the best effects, the biggest explosions, or the most guns.
But when science fiction movies become legendary it’s often because they tell us something deep, true and meaningful.
Then there are the science fiction movies that step up to bat for legendary status
take a big swing
and miss
and sometimes, as much as we love the hits, we love those misses

September 01, 2024 The 1970s science fiction classic that actually deserves a reboot
Watch the FULL video version on the new Science Fiction (video) Spotify channel : https://open.spotify.com/show/7lMNsoZctViqbqv8atqpK2?si=9a474bb8a9d74147
Why was the 1970s a classic era for science fiction cinema? I’m guessing many 1970s scifi movies are forgotten, by anyone who wasn’t there to see them. Dark Star. Silent Running. Rollerball!
The 70s produced so much great scifi cinema it’s hard to list it all.
And even when it wasn’t great, it was still interesting. It’s like every scifi movie in that decade was a unique experiment, always different, always new. And then one movie came along that ended the golden decade for strange, cool scifi movies.
After Star Wars every science fiction movie was trying to be a scifi blockbuster.
And Hollywood’s search for the next big corporate entertainment franchise meant that everything would eventually get a reboot. Sometimes that worked. And sometimes it didn’t. And it didn’t work enough times that, I for one, live in dread of Hollywood rebooting another 70s science fiction classic. But.
There is one movie from that golden decade which, the more I think about it, actually does need a reboot.
