Transmissions from the Forbidden Planet
TV & Film
Remember that ‘80s song that goes “My future is so bright, I gotta wear shades”? That was a dumb song, huh? Well, we have an episode for you that is hopefully not as dumb! It’s all about the future in movies. We thought it would be fun to span the past 100 years of cinema and look at how filmmakers anticipated what the future might be like from the perspective of their time period. So sit back, listen in, and see what the future holds.
