This time, we’re tackling Space Operas with BIG BLUE aliens, imperialism, and a dash of exotic flora and fauna on the podcast. First up is the 1973 psychedelic animation Fantastic Planet (or in French, La Planète Sauvage) from René Laloux, a film that offers a surreal and thought-provoking exploration of oppression and rebellion on an alien world. Then, we fast forward to 2009 to discuss James Cameron's blockbuster hit Avatar, a visually stunning epic known for its groundbreaking technology and its portrayal of imperialism and environmentalism.

Join us as we journey through these two visually striking and thematically rich Space Operas.Visit our website https://www.journeythroughscifi.com/
