Our mailbox has recently been filled to the brim with people asking us for more old robot movies. Not movies about old robots, mind you, but old movies with robots. And while our budget doesn’t yet have the girth to bring you something truly stupendous like Robby the Robot prancing about on a forbidden planet, we do have something from two years prior to that which just might fit the bill: “Tobor the Great” from 1954. And while it doesn’t have the nubile Anne Francis nor the pre-comedic Leslie Nielsen; it is a wonderful boy-and-his-robot story that you won’t want to miss.
Joining us to watch this monochromatic marvel will be artist Robert Reimers. He creates cool cyberpunk outfits out of every-day items. He’ll also tell us about the big Sinister Creature Con show coming to Sacramento next week, where you’ll be able to meet him and perhaps a few others guests you’ve seen on our show prior.
All this while Tangella gives Mrs. O’Connor a makeover, Saturday night at 9PM Pacific on YouTube at the enclosed link and on-demand at CreatureFeaturesTV.com. Don’t miss it!
Here’s to hoping one day you’ll have the budget for Forbidden Planet! Maybe at the very least on Creature Features TV!
