TFTB Film Club: Cocoon (1985)

Tales From The Bridge ·

2024/11/27

On this episode of Film Club, we discuss the a classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon. Released in 1985, the movie actually garnered an Oscar for best visual effects. You could say…. 1985 was a simpler time. When else could a film with octogenarian protagonists carry a sci-fi thriller. It’s an under-rated classic, worthy of discussion. They don’t green light these kinds of stories anymore. Or do they? Let us know what you think using the links below. Let’s make our way over to the Bridge!Please let ...

2024/07/31

Here at TFTB, we find ourselves talking about Science Fiction movies almost as much as we talk about Science Fiction books. So as a companion to our Book Club episodes, we are going to start a Film Club. For our first discussion, we've decided to talk about a classic; Alien (1979).

In this episode, we discuss The Three Body Problem, by Liu Cixin, and things get grim. In Science Fiction - Science Fact we also look at alien life, the Ferme paradox, and the notion of evolutionary filters that limit the longevity of civilizations - which is why they aren't calling. A new study applies all of this to Artificial Intelligence, and it's worth a listen. We'll set aliens and doom aside to chat about what we've been up to in books, film, and even some travel.
