We're back, with the next entry in a continuing series of episodes looking at what we think are the best science fiction films of each decade. Last time we looked at the 1950s. This time we turn our gaze to the swinging 1960s. The era of the race to the moon, the British Invasion, the civil rights struggle, and so much more, how would the times shape the sci fi produced?
Each of your Planet 8 crew has selected 3 films - well, actually, Larry and Karen share one film - and they run quite the gamut, from adaptations of classic novels, to fantastic adventures, to terrifying invasions. We hope you enjoy our selections, and reach out to us with some of your own.
Our Sensor Sweep is not so unusual. Larry and Bob both have figures to share, and Karen...does not. Karen is going ape over the recent Kickstarter for the Planet of the Apes role playing game from Magnetic Press Play. At Christmas, all backers received a PDF of the core rulebook, and it is beautiful. Karen shared a number of pages of the book (go see the video on YouTube!). Bob has a very cool Godzilla figure from Mondo designed by James Groman, that can be reconfigured to show battle damage. It might still be available! Larry keeps with the Planet of the Ape theme and shows off his Lawgiver collectible from Sideshow. It's a good 2 feet tall!
That's all for this show. Be sure to let us know your picks for the best of the 60s.
