Show Notes
In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we begin a brand new series exploring one of the most iconic sci-fi subgenres: space.
To kick things off, we go right back to the beginning of science-fiction cinema with A Trip to the Moon (1902), Georges Méliès' groundbreaking silent film about a group of astronomers travelling to the Moon.
Along the way we discuss the origins of the space genre, the birth of cinematic special effects and why this short film remains one of the most important science-fiction movies ever made.
Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time.
Follow the show for deep dives into sci-fi classics, cult films and the ideas that shaped the genre.
