Anonymous Great episode for a film that was grossly underappreciated and received some bafflingly ferocious criticism. I completely agree with y'all on dysgenic human breeding. If you ever form a Projection Booth Eugenics Coalition, sign me up! ;) I did discover a foolproof way to avoid being like my parents: NOT BREEDING. As for other films that deal with genetic splicing and/or "icky results of unchecked science," a few that came to mind: -Alien Resurrection -Species -The Island of Dr Moreau '96 -the sequels to Re-Animator (some icky splicing together of body parts for reanimation)Mike White Thanks for the insightful feedback! I hope you enjoyed the episode and our discussion with Mr. Natali.
