The Czech film Ikarie XB-1 (1963) is a known influence on Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). I adore both of these shots. The next podcast episode will be about Ikarie XB-1 (if all goes well).

Next episode!

X:The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963) is considered one of Roger Corman’s best. It is available on streaming platforms to rent and buy in the US and UK. Here are some images from a promotional comic of the film. The whole comic can be found on the Internet Archive website.

The Manchurian Candidate (1962) is available to rent online from many outlets or you can go ahead and buy it to stream (or on DVD).

If you watch it today you'll be ready for the new episode that's out tomorrow about the film, 1960s New Hollywood, Cold War tensions and political conspiracy films.

It’s Torment Nexus Day!

You should listen to my podcast if you like history, socio-political context, life stories and academic opinions about SCIENCE FICTION FILMS!!!! (Pew Pew but also Big Brother.)

Started in 1902 but the 1960s are most definitely in swing?

Always weird to think there are real living people out there listening to the podcast and even crazier when they recommend it. Thank you to @thelistuk.bsky.social for including me in their Pod people line up!

I think of Invasion of the Body Snatchers as good marketing strategy so this is perfect. 😉

The Day of the Triffids (1963) feels like a very 1950s film made in 1963. John Wyndham’s 1951 book of the same name, however, was a big hit and kicked off his writing career.

Panic in Year Zero shows US civilisation fall apart after nuclear attack. Part road movie, part how-to manual, part patriarchal delight.

I spoke to academic John Wills and psychiatrist Steven Schlozman about hankering for the apocalypse, the daddy gaze, nuclear education and painted houses.

I was nervous but it vanished once I got up there. I faced my fears and it taught me nothing about B2B marketing. 😂 Which means, like John Snow, I still know nothing.

I adore a mad scientist but...

I watched the Absent Minded Professor for my 1961 batch of films and decided not to cover it. The Nutty Professor (1963) is on my list and I am not looking forward to it. 😂 I just want to watch Dr Strangelove again instead please. 🥹

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy so why not take part in the spirit of Hallow's Eve with the traditional ritual of listening to a podcast! (A very new tradition! 😂 )

The Shining traumatised me and I am grateful. 🪓

About to go in for a recording but instead of talking about this film too much we'll be talking about the human fascination with apocalypse. And also a bit about the film. And government education on how to keep yourself safe in case of nuclear bombs. 

Paint was apparently important.

Eep! If you want to book free seats to see me warble on enthusiastically and about sci-fi cinema at the London Film Festival then click the link. No heckling though, yeah?

You might have to bunk off work. You were never there. You were at home with a terrible cough. 😂

Alien: Earth series 1 is done and I spoke to @jabd.bsky.social about episode 8 for around 3 hours.

What!? 3 hours?

You may be surprised but not a single one of my primary school teachers would be.

The Day the Earth Caught Fire is a very British take on nuclear apocalypse. Set in a frantic newsroom, cynical and failing hero Peter Jennings seems incapable of sticking to deadlines or writing much at all until the end is nigh! 

The Day the Earth Caught Fire: Britain’s 1961 Apocalypse is out now.

So this happened! And I've been feeling very overwhelmed about it. I think because it's not an award you apply for and so it feels very special and a bit scary. 

Winner of the @earworthy.bsky.social  award for best movie podcast. 🥹 Thank you to everyone listening, the amazing guests & Ear Worthy.

Amphibian Man (1962) is a Soviet film set in Argentina and at first I thought “WHAT!? This doesn’t look like an amphibian man. That’s a man man wearing a glitter ball suit!” which is what he’s meant to be. (Although I’m not sure if they were aiming for glitter ball precisely.)

When you’ve come to ask a respected scientist about some money to save your revolutionary newspaper and he starts banging on about saving the people by starting an underwater republic.

Spaceship ancestry!

1. Fantastic 4’s 
2. new spaceship harks back to 
3. The First Spaceship on Venus (1960) which in turn references
4. Woman in the Moon (1929) with its much blockier but gorgeously art deco aesthetic. 

Next episode will be on 3. if all goes well.

I’m finding it hard to process the levels of human depravity but at least I found a new party slogan.

We begin the 1960s by heading back to the end of the 19th century when both the idea of a machine that travels through time and cinema were invented around the same time. (Science fiction, cinema and history!)

The new episode is out! Link in bio.
