The only survivor of the first starship journey was lucky. Well, maybe. There is a reference in this story to a program on paper tape. I dedicate this reading to those of you who recall loading short programs via the front panel with toggle switches, then running the bootstrap loader and software tapes on the tape reader of a balky ASR-33 teletype. The rest of you pay no attention, go back to your video gizmos. The text for this story is at www.gutenberg.org .

This is the novel version of the classic silent sci-fi movie Metropolis by Fritz Lang. Students of the film know that it was severely cut and edited after its first release, and further cut during its US release. There have been several attempts to restore the film over the decades, but it has never been brought back to its original version. This novel has several scenes that are not in any video version currently available. It may be that they were never filmed or they are just forever lost....

On this week’s episode, Ebony and Carolyn revisit the sci-fi horror classic Alien, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Our conversation attempts to examine some of the film’s many layers—its focus on working-class characters and their concerns, the ways in which H.R. Giger’s design for the alien taps into some of our most primal fears—while also acknowledging the filmmaking elements that help to make it such an enduring landmark of sci-fi cinema.

Well, it's October, so close to Halloween so its time for a movie with a classic graveyard scene. We are going to dive in to Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi's final on-screen team up in 1945's The Body Snatcher. Then why don't we just top it all off with giant ants trying to destroy the world? So we take a fresh look at Warner Brothers' Them. You can't really get better than this for an episode going into Halloween. On top of that we touch on Turner Classic Movies' bringing back Alfred...

Team members from an American Antarctic research station have come across something. Something not of this Earth that has been sleeping for a hundred millennia in the ice. Something that slaughtered a Norwegian research station. Something that has become one of them.
