Episode 160: The Island of Dr. Moreau

Welcome all to Planet 8! On this episode, your crew takes a look at the three film adaptations of the H.G. Wells novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau. We start with the atmospheric 1932 version, Island of Lost Souls, move into the updated 1977 film, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and then briefly discuss the trainwreck that was the 1996 version, also titled Island of Dr. Moreau. We discuss the themes of the work, the similarities and differences of the films, what worked and what didn't. We hope you enjoy our discussion!

For our Sensor Sweep, Karen shares that this is also a cross-over episode with her YouTube channel, Echoes from the Satellite (https://www.youtube.com/@EchoesfromtheSatellite), as she will be discussing the Wells novel on her latest episode! So bounce over there and check that out.

Bob is diligently preparing for the Godzillafest film festival, which occurs July 18-20th. And big news -they will be showing Godzilla Minus One -twice! Be sure to go over to https://www.godzillafest.com/ to get details and buy your tickets. And don't forget the Godzillafest convention, coming in September!

Meanwhile, Larry has been spending time with the talented Jeff Wehenkel, who restored Larry's "Tingler" (get those dirty thoughts out of your mind), as well as gifting him a beautiful Pirates of the Caribbean model. Larry also shared a cool Godzilla bust from Michael Regan - although it was named Bob - you need to listen to get the story.

That's all for now folks. Stay safe, stay cool, and remember, not to go on all fours, that is The Law!
