Listen "Episode 329 - Quatermass and the Pit"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we bravely tackle the 1967 British sci-fi horror film Quatermass and the Pit—a movie Boomers swear is a classic, and who are we to argue with the generation that gave us powdered soup and lawn darts? We explore the film’s ambitious plot involving Martians, mind control, and human evolution—all rendered with the finest special effects 1967 had to offer (which is to say, not very fine). Join us as we try to figure out what’s genuinely eerie and what’s just aged weirdly, all while appreciating the film’s lasting influence on the genre... even if it sometimes feels like watching a really intense episode of Doctor Who on VHS.
