Midnight in the Back Row Ep. 11: Fantastic Planet (1973)
Channel: Cold Turtle Follies
Date: 2021-12-17

Gulliver's Travels meets Watership Down, in space.

Very popular on its release, this film is now relatively obscure: one of the few movies I'll cover you could still call "cult". It's got a seriously lampshaded message, but the visuals are unlike anything you'll see anywhere else. Very fun viewed with "supplements".

Also... huge thanks to  all the new subscribers: I'm halfway to that magic 1000. I am moved and grateful, and each new comment brightens my day. There's a shoutout to some on you in this vid. As Barbarella would say, Love!


***Question of the episode!***
Which of Terr's outfits is your favorite? Would you cosplay it?

The web series "Midnight in the Back Row" is a production of Cold Turtle Follies. It reviews and comments on old-school cult classics, and has room for both dark humor and careful insight. If one doesn't offend you, maybe the other will; a girl's gotta dream.
