\nSkiffy Flix<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Reviews of pre-1960s science fiction and horror films, the 1950s SF films affectionately called “skiffy flix,” crude movies by modern standards yet charming in the way they reveal then-current cultural fears, and naive understanding of space travel and how the universe worked.

Trek<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Deep reviews of the first season of Star Trek TOS. With considerations of whether the episodes make sense or not, at face value; the production process; Trek’s “intuitive physics”; how the show reflected cultural values of the time; whether the remastered special effects in the 2009 rereleases were improvements or not; how James Blish’s “novelizations” of the episodes compare to the originals; and especially, how the music in the show, with so many repeated themes across episodes, can be understood.
