My Favorite Post-Apocalypse Movies of the 1990’s…

The 90's.... it was only a decade prior to this one that I was just a kid.  Now I was a soldier, a combat veteran, a college graduate, a husband (well, for a year anyway - Gads, what an utter slut!), and working man.  Didn't stop my inner nerd from enjoying that which I enjoyed most... …

Mad Max, Death, and Justice … Guest blog from Asher.

I was recently contacted by a fella... a quick fella... who altered my perspective on both art and the way Mad Max (Fury Road specifically) can be interpreted. First off, let me tell you who this guy is... he is an artist that goes by the name of Asher - he "translates discarded tech into artistic pieces." …

Slipstream… it doesn’t suck nearly as much as you might think.

First off, I want to thank Barry P. of Cinematic Catharsis for asking me to join the Nature's Fury Blogathon!  The subject matter this go 'round is Nature vs. Mankind.  In the words of Barry P., "...this is a blogathon about our eternal struggle with flora, fauna, and the elements." I decided to go with …

Here it is... Part 2 of my Favorite Post-Apocalypse Films of the 1980's.  Its taken me quite some time to cull the herd down to these ones.  A warning... some of these are considered terrible - but that's their charm.  Hell, most folks think most of these suck.  That's ok.  I thought Guardians of the …

And here we go... the 1980's!  I loved this decade!!!  The Cold War and threat of nuclear annihilation at any moment...  that mushroom cloud looming in the distance, the big balloon going up, survivalists taking up residence in underground shelters... good times! Some of my absolute favorite flicks come from this time.  You may have …

Who’s my favorite writer? Glad you asked…

 When I was in Junior High ('82-'83), I found a book in the school library called The Long  Afternoon of Earth by Brian Aldiss.  I thought it was absolutely fascinating!  It was an abridged  version of Hothouse, but I wouldn't learn that until many years later.  Flash forward to sometime in the mid-90's and I …

My Favorite Post-Apocalypse Movies of the 1970’s…

And now we've come to the 70's.  There is just something cool about the movies made during that time and the post-apocalypse genre was really coming into it's own.  We were now moving a bit away from the standard Atom Bomb and the Mutated Monster and beginning to portray a society that had devolved into …

My favorite Post-Apocalypse movies of the 1960’s…

The Sixties... drugs, sex, and rock and roll.  Or perhaps it was irresponsible excess, flamboyance, and the decay of social order.  Whichever one you want to pick, it was a decade of some of the best post-apocalypse movies made - well, since the 50's anyway.

My favorite Post-Apocalypse movies of the 1950’s…

The Atom Bomb...  Radiation...  Mutation... These were big buzzwords in the 1950's and gave rise to a breed of film that exploited them to the fullest.  The 50's was really the full dawn of the post-apocalypse film.  I'd like the take the opportunity to present some of my favorites from that time.  These are not …
