209 - The Gumby Movie

Jen and Tim journey to Gumbasia to experience the vision of a lovable madman, The Gumby Movie, aka Gumby 1!The story of Henrietta Lacks and the immortal cell line that bears her name is a remarkable one, encompassing topics of institutionalized racism, scientific ethics, and medical marvels. Adam Curtis made a fine documentary about Lacks and the HeLa line of cells in 1997 for the BBC.The video for "All The Things She Said" by Simple Minds presents a fine example of the then-cutting-edge video work of filmmaker Zbigniew Rybczyński.And after you've seen that, really blow your mind with Charles and Ray Eames's head-spinning 1977 short, Powers of Ten!
