Swinging Scientists of the ’60s - The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) & The Nutty Professor (1963)
Update: 2025-03-27
Description
In this episode, we take a comedic detour into 60s sci-fi as we revisit Disney's "The Absent-Minded Professor" and Jerry Lewis' "The Nutty Professor." From gravity-defying Flubber to the egotistical Buddy Love, we unpack how these eccentric inventors helped shape the mad scientist archetype. Expect flying cars, chaotic labs, and a surprising amount of heart as we explore the cultural legacy of these iconic sci-fi comedies.
