They're here!!!
In this final episode of LOBOT MODS season 1, we take a look at Tim Burton's sci-fi feature film MARS ATTACKS! and compare that with the 2011 UK action/sci-fi/monster feature ATTACK THE BLOCK. Two alien invasions. One by the skeletal would-be Martian overlords, the other from a bunch of ink-black plushies with radioactive teeth. Is the human race doomed? Not if John Boyega has anything to do with it.
In a wide-ranging conversation, hosts Aaron Wood and Paul Docherty talk about the legacy of Cold War sci-fi cinema, and about the place of comedy in the speculative fiction genre... And about Star Wars...
THE LOBOT MODS will return in ten weeks. See you in 2025!
