Bots, Bugs, And Babes – Episode #47: The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) – “Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!”

“In a different way, perhaps, I am fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason.”

On this epsiode of Bots, Bugs, and Babes, my father (Al Jaconetti) and I cover 1951’s The Day The Earth Stood Still. Join us as we discuss one of the most influential science fiction movies of all-time. We will delve into all the different aspects of the how the film was made, its special effects, and how its message is still important today. So gather around the spaceship and remeber that if we reject Mr. Klaatu’s proposal, then “there is no alternative. In such a case, the planet Earth would have to be…eliminated.”
