Final Picture Show Podcast Ep 53: Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

from The Final Picture Show Podcast: Where the End times are Alive! · host Matthew Poland

I know I'd go from rags to riches, If you would only say you care. And though my pocket may be empty, I'd be a millionaire on the day the earth stood still. Tonight we dive into the world of the 1950s and see how little has changed. We also get into our weekly sign of the apocalypse, the end of WW2 and fears of the bomb, why casting a Brit as an Alien always works out, Orson Wells and RKO’s placement in the world of 50s Sci-fi, and Christ allegories hidden in plain sight. Next week we look at the 2008 remake of this film.
