Show notes

Sci-Fi December continues with a look at The Creation of the Humanoids. Copyrighted 1960, the film was directed by Wesley Barry and written by Jay Simms. It plays like a stage play about a post-Apocalyptic world in which androids are a large part of society and human beings fear being replaced by them.

Jennifer Handorf (opens in a new tab) and Dan Martin (opens in a new tab) join Mike to discuss the film, science fiction as allegory, and intentional versus accidental genius.
