Personal Picks Episode Four - Science Fiction & Fantasy Features



A futuristic lawman patrols the streets.

A robot contemplates the First Law.

A giant pink octopus looms overhead.

It is time for my personal picks.

Welcome this edition of Personal Picks. Octocon is coming up this weekend so I thought we'd listen to some science fiction sounds and fantastically cheesy tunes.

(You can check out this playlist on Spotify).

"Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Rains was the invisible man
Then something went wrong for Faye Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace it came from outer space
And this is how the message ran
Science fiction (uh uh) double feature..."
