The latest subject of Make Me Watch It is Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964), directed by Byron Haskin. The updated and maintained list of options for “Make Me Watch It” can be found here. You can name up to ten movies you’d like me to cover here. The series can also be found on Stitcher, on iTunes, or in a direct RSS feed.
Is that the one where he has a monkey, or am I thinking of a different bad movie?
You know, I never bothered with this, but I actually think I’ll see it some time. It sounds a little better than I’ve always assumed.
Obviously, no one would go into this now assuming it was either scientifically accurate or (given its source) politically sensitive.
Yeah, this is the kind of movie you watch to see what people used to think the future would be like.
Course I say this while also despising Ray Bradbury’s writing…
