#74 - GOING TO MARS IN A BUCKET: “Mission To Mars”, “Red Planet”, and “Ghosts of Mars” Revisited
Added 2021-06-28 17:48:06 +0000 UTCDimitri and Khalid search for predictive programming and blue beam themes in a troika of failed Y2K-era Mars blockbusters: Brian De Palma’s “Mission To Mars”, John Carpenter’s “Ghost of Mars”, and Antony Hoffman’s “Red Planet”. Also discussed: HG Wells’ dream of a liberal fascisti, Edgar Rice Burroughs’ love of eugenics, Percival Lowell’s popularization of canals on Mars, Bruce De Palma’s zero point energy n-drive, Wehrner Von Braun’s vision of an “Elon” governing Martian society, and the Boston Dynamics dog AMEE in “Red Planet” who goes haywire and slays every woketard astronaut in sight.
