We take a break from our usually scheduled programming to take a look at one of the sweatiest, and one might say tastiest, sci-fi films ever made featuring Mr. Machismo himself, Charlton Heston: Soylent Green. Dean of Media and Communications at Texas Tech Dr. David Perlmutter stops to not only program his first episode but also offer some high-level analysis of the film.Starring Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson, the two play a cop and ex-analyst who live in a post-apocalyptic New York City on the brink of a food shortage due to the ingredients of Soylent suddenly drying up. They stumble upon a secret however so world-altering and sanity-jarring that it could shake up their entire existence if discovered. It's a true gem of a sci-fi thriller.For more Kulturecast episodes and many more podcasts that are guaranteed to be your new favorite audio obsession, check out Weirding Way Media at weirdingwaymedia.com.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/2883470/advertisement
