This unlikely sci-fi classic burst on the scene in 1968, surprising critics and audiences alike, spawning 4 sequels, 2 reboots, a TV series, and a slew of images and phrases that have permeated world culture. Younger generations have absorbed many of its touchstone memes whether they’ve seen the film or not, but how do they react to the film itself?
Has its rubber masks and paper mâché sets dated it beyond credibility (despite winning Oscars for what was then seen as a technical achievement)? Has the CGI reboot rendered it obsolete? Or does this time piece that so delighted young boomers 57 years ago still pack a punch today?
Don’t miss the young panel’s reaction to this popular cultural dynamo from the late 1960s.
