In episode 11, Alan & Nisha once again visit with pod favorite H.P. Lovecraft to discuss his 1927 short story, The Colour Out of Space. Often cited as perhaps the favorite work of Lovecraft himself, this story has been adapted numerous times over the years and inspired countless more.
For the discussion, they also focus on two films: The 2019 film The Color Out of Space starring Nicholas Cage, and the lesser-known 2010 film Die Farbe (The Color), a low-budget German-language adaptation.
One of these was a fairly successful mainstream sci-fi, the other a work of love appreciated by dedicated fans. How do these films stack up against the original writings? Join us as we discuss this and more, including the rippling effects of this nearly century-old classic.
