      50s sci fi movie, actually.

      Part of that groundbreaking film stuff starting in that decade, kicking off our modern understanding of the genre.

      Twilight Zone also comes to mind.
      Currently watching season 2 of it. Totally great stuff, so many “firsts” in there!

        When I’m on a plane I still idly think about the possibility of there being a gremlin out there on the wing eating an engine…

        (I fly a lot and even learned to fly gliders/sailplanes back in the day, so definitely not afraid of flying, but if I’m ever sat next to William Shatner I’m deplaning. No point taking chances. ;-).)

          I have not seen this episode yet (it’s in season 5, just checked).
          Definitely looking forward to it!
          We just watched the “Nick of time” episode not to long. Came as a surprise that Shatner was in there - it was kind of a culture shock for my son, suddenly seeing “Captain Kirk” as a superstitious groom in a 50s era dinner… :-)
