Online Film Discussion

Presented as part of the Flying Saucer Cinema Series - An in-depth look at lowbrow sci-fi and psychotronic cinema from the 1950s and 1960s, celebrating both classic and underrecognized gems of the era. Discussions are led by Mark Daniels and Eric Cohen who are both passionate about sci-fi films. Daniels is a longtime Scarecrow volunteer and guest host on the podcast "Treks in Sci-Fi," while Cohen has helped lead a monthly psychotronic film club for the past five years.

In an overpopulated, polluted and starving New York City of the future, NYPD detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston) investigates the murder of an executive at rations manufacturer Soylent Corporation. With the help of elderly academic Solomon "Sol" Roth (Edward G. Robinson), Thorn begins to make real progress -- until the governor mysteriously pulls the plug. Obsessed with the mystery, Thorn steps out from behind the badge and launches his own investigation into the murder.

Participants are strongly encouraged to watch the film before the event. Rent it from Scarecrow or check the Flying Saucer Cinema page for links to streaming options.
