Flying Saucer Cinema!

Saturday, January 6, 2:00PM PT
FREE Online Film Discussion

The Green Slime, a Japanese-American co-production from the height of 1968 rock-and-roll madness, is a schlock gem not to be missed! A giant asteroid is heading toward Earth, so some astronauts disembark from a nearby space station to blow it up. The mission is successful, but they return to the station unknowingly bringing back a gooey green substance that mutates into the eponymous monsters with the coolest theme song in sci-fi cinema history. If you’re in need of some high quality sixties silliness without an ounce of Kubrick pretension, this film has your name all over it.

Participants are strongly encouraged to watch the film before the event. Rent it from Scarecrow or check here for streaming options. This program is free but registration is required.

Discussions are led by Mark Daniels and Eric Cohen, who are both passionate about science fiction and co-teach Flying Saucer Cinema, a classic sci-fi film class at North Seattle College. Daniels is also a board member and volunteer at Scarecrow Video and guest host on the podcast Treks in Sci-Fi, while Cohen has been leading a psychotronic film club for years. 

Hungering for more classic science fiction cinema? Under the same Flying Saucer Cinema banner, Eric and Mark teach an in-person science-fiction film class every quarter at North Seattle College! For details about the program, including dates, times, and sign-up information, click here.
