Put on your 3D glasses and join us to discuss 'It Came From Outer Space!' the 1953 sci-fi classic directed by Jack Arnold (Creature From The Black Lagoon, The Incredible Shrinking Man) and based on Ray Bradbury's classic story. We dive deep into the cultural, economic, and political undercurrents of 1950s sci fi horror, and horror's continued trend of responding to real-world fears, from technology to current tensions in America and globally.

Before Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, before Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, there was...Jessica Walter in Play Misty For Me! In 1971, Clint Eastwood made his directorial debut with this early entry into the erotic thriller genre. While Alfred Hitchcock had hinted at the genre with films like Psycho and Marnie, and Noir films had gifted us the Femme Fatale archetype, Play Misty For Me is unique in that it feels more like later, more modern erotic thrillers of the late 80s and early 90s. Listen in as we discuss Jessica Walter's amazing portrayal of Evelyn, Eastwood's directorial style, and the not-so-perfect gender politics of this sub-genre.

Strap in, folks, we're going to Antarctica!
