Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Moon 44

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Moon 44

As Sam notes, "I didn't have navigator rape on my bingo card", but we still enjoyed this other early Roland Emmerich movie from 1990.

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Terminus

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Terminus

"Terminus, from 1987. How do you sell this movie?"

I don't. It's a mess.

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: First Spaceship on Venus

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: First Spaceship on Venus

There's some impressive stuff in this lost movie from communist East Germany. Just don't mind the propaganda.

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: The Noah's Ark Principle

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: The Noah's Ark Principle

We start our tour of Germany with Roland Emerich's student film. It's really impressive for what it is, though we're not sure what it is.

On a side note: unfortunately the YouTube channel we referen…

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: The Terrornauts

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: The Terrornauts

"The whole movie, once they're in space, looks like a high school play." Also, Sam claims to be an editor, but he doesn't cut ANYTHING.

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: Xtro

This is what happens when you write movies on drugs, kids. Drugs are bad, okay?

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: The Man in the White Suit

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: The Man in the White Suit

Jason is shocked that Sam didn't outright hate this charming British classic staring Obi Wan Kenobi and Alfred Pennyworth.

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: Inseminoid

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: Inseminoid

Sam explains why soft-core directors start doing sci-fi and horror in the 70's, which is a lot more interesting than this blatant Alien rip-off.

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: Devil Girl from Mars

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: Devil Girl from Mars

We try some new software on this one. In the end Sam likes and Jason hates (HATES) it, so feel free to let us know your thoughts. Oh, and we also talk about a British sci-fi movie from 1951 that lo…

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: The Mutations

Blofeld AND Doctor Who in the same movie?!? How could this go wrong? Listen and find out how it does.

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: Journey to the Far Side of the Sun

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: Journey to the Far Side of the Sun

Impressive model work can't save this slow movie. As usual, we watch these so you don't have to.

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: Moon Zero Two

Forgotten British Sci-Fi: Moon Zero Two

Sam loved this one, Jason not so much. It's a flawed and (somewhat) fun mess.

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: The Pyschic

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: The Pyschic

This movie is apparently better than we think it is.

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: Argoman

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: Argoman

With something titled, "Agroman the Fantastic Superman" you'd think there is going to be a lot of comic book talk. AND YOU WOULD BE CORRECT, but maybe not as much as you'd assume.

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: The 10th Victim

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: The 10th Victim

This is not the movie we were expecting, but it's incredible how many other films this has obviously inspired.

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: War of the Robots

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: War of the Robots

It's from 1978, looks like its from 1960, doesn't make a lot of sense, and unfortunately not in that good way.

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: Escape from the Bronx

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: Escape from the Bronx

Sam is annoyed that Jason picked another sequel, but this one surprised us!

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: Contamination

Forgotten Italian Sci-Fi: Contamination

We continue in Italy, in a movie that has some seriously questionable production design choices.

Forgotten Italian Sci-fi: 1990 The Bronx Warriors

Forgotten Italian Sci-fi: 1990 The Bronx Warriors

This really is a classic, and we mostly talk about it until Jason gets sidetracked by more 90's TV talk. It happens. (At least it's not comic books for a change!)

Forgotten Italian Sci-fi: Island of the Fishmen

Forgotten Italian Sci-fi: Island of the Fishmen

We said sayonara to Japan and buongiorno to Italy, where Sam learns to not leave Jason recording alone when he's been drinking. There would be some comic talk, but Sam cut that out because he is lam…
