Metropolis

Possibly the most important of all Silent Films, Metropolis is Fritz Lang's absolute masterpiece! Also, I talk about San Jose's housing market.

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1920)

John Barrymore. The man could act! This is a look at the silent version of one of the most re-imagined works in English Science Fiction history!

A Message from Mars (1913, UK)

Perhaps the first Science Fiction feature film in the UK, the 1913 re-imagining of A Christmas Carol is a silent film that explores the cold dead heart of a selfish man as it's re-heated. Perhaps influenced by the early Social Issues films that were popping up both in the US and UK, and most likely influencing them, it's a film with a soul and a lot of what we look for when we watch early silents.

A Trip to the Moon

Some call it the first Science Fiction, and it is certainly the most important film in the first fifty years of SciFi! Hear the thoughts on it, and a bit of summation!
