TAKE TWO: Superior SciFi Sequels A Boston Sci-Fi Podcast

Season 5 · Episode 7

Monday, November 24, 2025 • Duration 53:35

They say imitation is a form of flattery. In Hollywood, it's a way to milk every last dollar out of an IP (Intellectual Property), Hollywood's most precious commodity. These imitations are called sequels and for the most part, they are inferior to the originals. Yet sometimes they surpass the originals. They are superior. That's what we talking about here. Great science fiction movie sequels. Our guests are Somerville Theatre Creative Director Ian Judge and Boston Hassle Editor Oscar Gaff. We'll start with BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and stops to the Star Trek and Star Wars universe. Join us as we look at some of the bests sequels ever screened.

Please note: we use clips for movies. Occasionally these clips will seemingly lack sound, and you can always see the podcast video at BostonSciFi Channel.

Friday, December 13, 2024 • Duration 57:48

Fifty years is a long time. Much has happened. Much has changed. Fifty years ago the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival began at a legendary movie theatre.

We have gone from seeing movies only in movie theatre to being able to catch a blockbuster while riding on a bus. Authors Robert Viagas and Harry Lohr, Jr passionately recount their adventure in creating a history of America's longest running genre film festival - The 50th Boston Science Fiction Film Festival & Marathon, Host: Garen Daly
