Journey Through Sci-Fi

• From Flubber to Buddy Love: Mad Professors of 60s Sci-Fi Cinema

  ​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. Visit our website https://www.journeythroughscifi.com/ Email Us!

• The Man with Two Brains & The Brain That Wouldn't Die: Love, Lust & Loose Brains | MAD SCIENCE Pt 11

  From The Brain That Wouldn’t Die’s predatory surgeon to The Man with Two Brains’s lusty neurosurgeon, mad science films often mix unethical experiments with unchecked libido. We examine how these films handle (or fail to handle) their problematic gender dynamics and how exploitation cinema shaped the portrayal of scientists on screen.
