So unsettling! This one was really cool! It had that unmistakable 70's sci-fi flavor, some really eerie music and a villain that just wouldn't quit! I was really interested to see this since Michael Crichton wrote and directed (fair warning, it is 100% possible I mispronounced his name throughout)! What other 70's sci-fi should we check out?

Excited for this, haven't seen it in a droid's age.

Outland with Sean Connery is good but it’s very early 80’s. Saturn 3 with Farrah Fawcett is weird and probably not anyone’s favorite. Battle Star Galactica was a great series that only lasted a season I think. The theme music rivals any of the Star Trek ones too!

Outland would make a GREAT HBO drama.

Randy Aiken

Silent Running, Soylent Green, Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Celeste McAllister🍓

'The Omega Man' 'Soylent Green' 'The Man who Fell to Earth' that's my trio! :)

Solaris 1972 Silent Running 1972 Fantastic Planet 1973 Logan's Run 1976

The original! Nice! S1 of HBOs Westworld is completely worth it btw. Goes so far beyond the movie.

Matt

Sweet😊

Take an enormous bong rip and settle in for the French animated sci-fi psychedelic masterpiece FANTASTIC PLANET.

Jason Scade

For sure. It's an enigma in an ocean of mystery!

Matt

Not necessarily sifi but "Eraserhead" 1977 in honour of the late David Lynch, RIP

Stefan Loferer

Body Snatchers, Soylent Green and The Omega Man are definitely worth checking out! I just remember a weird scifi movie that I saw as a teenager...Demon Seed (1977). Quite a different take on AI and I found it pretty disturbing back then.

Major Peril

Mmm... Some Saturday afternoon Westworld? Yes, please. +1 for all selections below plus The Andromeda Strain (1971), Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970), The Omega Man (1971), Rollerball (1975), and The Stepford Wives (1975) just to name a few! Some other Crichton favorites would be Coma (1978), The Great Train Robbery (1978) and of course Runaway (1984).

Major Peril

@Jason... my bicameral mind would agree! 😃

Joe Blankenship

Yeah, I really enjoyed the first season. Never got around to the second season. Sorta seemed like people weren't that into it.

Along similar lines, Severance has a lot of the same mysterious vibes, albeit it thematically pretty different. Mystery, alright.

Jonathan Hintz

A sequel was made in 1976, Futureworld, starring Peter Fonda.

The guy you said you knew was from 8 is Enough from the 70’s

Steve Holton

Thanks Jen, this was great! The cowboy robot in the black hat was inspired by the same actor's character in the film "The Magnificent Seven" 1960 where he also wore a similar black hat and outfit. Most have mentioned many great sci-fi films from the 70's. One more is the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1978 starring Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy.

Alexis Vorian

Soylent Green from 1973 would be great. a Sci-Fi classic with Charlton Heston.

Jason Kaiser

"Tuesday is Soylent Green Day!"

Great reaction to this classic '70s sci-fi. Very happy to see you enjoyed it! Brilliant. 🤓 Yul Brynner made for a very menacing killer robot! Even though he had only a few spoken lines, he played it out wonderfully, don't you think? Kudos on recognizing Majel Barret (Nurse Chapel from TOS and Lwaxana Troi from TNG as well as the generalized Federation Computer voice). Some other movies based on Crichton novels (NOT directed by him) would be The Andromeda Strain (1971), Rising Sun (1993), Disclosure (1994), and Timeline (2003). You might also check out The 13th Warrior (1999) based on his novel Eaters of the Dead.

Jason Scade

Great reaction, classic influential sci fi. A massive influence on The Terminator obviously. 14:00 "Vodka martini, twist of lemon." 😂 For slo-mo shoot outs; Sam Peckinpah's 'The Wild Bunch' (1969), it's Reservoir Dogs on horses. Further 70s sci-fi; - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - The Medusa Touch (1978) - The Boys from Brazil (1978) Set in the 70s, wanted Nazi war criminals plot the launch of The Fourth Reich. Based on the novel by Ira Levin (Rosemary's Baby, etc.) Michael Crichton has directed; Coma (1978) The Great Train Robbery (1979) Looker (1981) Runaway (1984) Physical Evidence (1989)

I almost forgot the Black Hole with music by John Barry. It's a very cool movie that came in the wave after Star Wars but is totally unique. Especially the ending.

Chris Biebel

Also, he's been in some of the movies Jen's seen: He was the King of Druidia in Space Balls and the Abbott in Robin Hood, Men in Tights.

Jason Scade

I'm 3/4 way through Severance S1, it's intriguing and mysterious.

Jeremy V.

Soylent green and omega man are amazing

Jeremy V.

A Charlton Heston double feature would be so freaking amazing. We gotta hit that up.

Stefan Loferer

Absolutely! I'd love that. I don't know, maybe I'm the exception but I also always liked part 2 of Planet of the Apes. Ok, not very much Charlton Heston here but that movie was a traumatizing childhood experience. 😂
