KAMN Show #50: The Time Machine
Listen now
Description
Feature Discussion: Summer and guest host Michael J (comics columnist at Slice of SciFi) discuss H.G. Wells' groundbreaking science fiction classic "The Time Machine", also touching on the 1960 film adaptation by George Pal, and a little bit on the 2002 remake starring Guy Pearce. The discussion wanders into a larger discussion about time travel and how it's handled in other "Time Machine" remakes as well as other shows that deal with time travel, like "Doctor Who" and Syfy's "12 Monkeys". Summer had misplaced her original notes, and forgot to mention Enrique Gaspar's novel "The Time Ship: A Chrononautical Journey", which was originally published 7 years before Wells' "The Time Machine" in 1887, and was reprinted in 2012 by Wesleyan Press. So, what do you think the 3 books were that George took with him to the distant future in the original movie? Call the Slice of SciFi voicemail line, 602-635-6976... and yes, you can also email in recorded commentary, if you feel the need to chat longer!
