Sorry again for the late update - October was a crazy month for me. This episode was recorded in October but every time I sat down to edit I was interrupted. I have an idea for a new podcast to run parallel to this one, and I'm going to test it on the next episode, which will be VERY soon.
This time around, we explore the progenitor of the sci-fi genre as we know it, Fritz Lang's 1927 silent classic Metropolis. I can think of no other film that has been so mistreated and maligned and yet also managed to make a triumphant comeback over 80 years after its original release. We'll be comparing and contrasting two versions of the movie: Giorgio Moroder's 1984 edition that was the first major step in bringing this film back to its original glory, and the definitive restoration released in 2010, which is likely the closest we'll ever get to seeing Metropolis as audiences saw it at its premiere. This is a bit of a departure for a podcast that specializes in schlock, but without this film, sci-fi (and all of the cheesy films that fall within the genre) might have ended up being a completely different beast...
