This week the Crit Club is traveling way back, and way forward, in time as we watch the 1936 science fiction film Things to Come. This early special effect juggernaut is looked decades into the future with a script by H.G. Wells, and posits questions about humanity, progress, and peace. Were we left wishing for futuristic art deco toga clothes, or did this movie make us want to be shot out of the space gun? Listen and find out!

Join us next week for an Angela pick! We’ll go back to France with 1973’s The Mother and the Whore.
