Boston SciFi Podcast - Must See Scifi Films: '80s Edition

Garen Daly, Executive Producer

What do ALIENS, John Carpenter's THE THING, STAR WARS EPISODE V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, and E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL have in common? They're all examples of great 1980s scifi movies and how the decade helped define the genre as we know it today. On this episode, Boston SciFi Director Garen Daly is joined by Assistant Director Melissa Starker and Boston SciFi volunteer/Boston Hassle film contributor Alexis Den Boggende to discuss how these science fiction classics hold up. They also touch on other titles including BLADE RUNNER, BRAZIL and BUCKAROO BANZAI: ACROSS THE EIGHTH DIMENSION.
