Woman in the Moon (1929) & Moon (2009): Secrets of the Moon

In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we continue our exploration of the space subgenre with two films that imagine journeys to the Moon from very different eras of cinema. First we look at Woman in the Moon (1929) — Fritz Lang's pioneering silent-era sci-fi film about a lunar expedition. Then we explore Moon (2009), Duncan Jones' modern science-fiction drama about a solitary worker stationed on a lunar mining facility who begins questioning his identity. Together these films show how science fiction's vision of space has evolved — from early cinematic dreams of exploration to intimate psychological stories set beyond Earth. Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time. Follow the show for deep dives into sci-fi classics, cult films and the ideas that shaped the genre.
