In this episode of the show, we are opening what we jokingly call Michael Cricht-June, a short series of episodes devoted to the work of Michael Crichton. Therefore, it only makes sense to start with his directorial feature debut Westworld, as well as the 1976 follow-up to this movie, Futureworld. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Westworld as a protoplast to Jurassic Park, you will hear us wonder if this is a disaster movie, a speculative fiction, a proto-slasher or a combination of all three, and also how its inventiveness filtered into the culture and inspired many other filmmakers. In addition, we also talk Futureworld and its doomed mission to follow up an instant classic, Peter Fonda’s hair, Yul Brynner invading your dreams and much more!

Tune in and enjoy!
