Good episode . . . I'm just catching up on Prof CJ. I was backed up to the Mike Resnick ep.


Speaking of John Carpenter (and in this case Snake Plissken) . . .

That's a pretty trippy list, thanks for that.

Zardoz hasn't crossed my mind in a while, lol. The gun is good. Zardoz: The penis is evil.

And, Henry V makes the list, but no Coriolanus?

The Time's Eye series was a better take on the theme whereby the aliens were murderous.

Space Odyssey was an overrated series, in my opinion, driven by the success of the film.

What made the film good for the time were the effects and cinematography.
