This week, we’re heading back to the 70s to explore how dystopian societies handle the concept of aging, through two camp cult classics: Zardoz (1974) and Logan's Run (1976). In Zardoz, Sean Connery stars in a bizarre and surreal world where the elite control immortality, while in Logan's Run, society mandates a lethal age limit to keep the population under control.

 How can you grow old gracefully in a dystopia that doesn't want you to?

Join us as we discuss the strange, the stylish, and the shocking ways these films tackle the themes of aging and survival in a dystopian future.
