It’s a topic that Damien Walter — writer, video essayist, and lifelong enthusiast of science fiction — is continuously exploring. If you take a look at his popular YouTube channel (aptly titled “Science Fiction”) you’ll see a wealth of analyses that explore the role the genre plays as a mirror to society, illuminating its potential to be more than mere escapism, but a lens through which we can examine the myths that shape us.This week on The Wonder Dome, Damien...2024-05-151h 06

It could have been that it was just ahead of it’s time and people weren’t ready for it. It also could have been that Jurassic Park came out right before this. Regardless, we take a look back on this film with a modern eye to see how we feel about it.

The Confused BreakfastSon In Law (1993)Compared to Christmas, there are not many movies that take place around Thanksgiving.

The Confused BreakfastHoney, I Shrunk The Kids (1989)Everyone loved this scary/thrilling adventure movie as a kid. However, after a modern-day rewatch, we have a lot questions. Does Matt Frewer outshine Rick Moranis? Why is there a destructive laser sitting unprotected in Ray’s attic? Is the ant scene still one of the most heartbreaking death scenes in movie history? What would have happened if they never got rescued? Why did Ray think that pitching this idea to the scientists was actually a good idea?•0:00:00 - Introductions•0:03:15 - Memories of first viewing•0:07:30- Pertinent movie details •0:12:15 - Cri...2023-11-011h 41
