Metropolis (1927) In the future, in a city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city’s mastermind falls in love with a working-class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.
I Am Mother (2019) After humanity’s extinction, a teenage girl is raised by a robot designed to repopulate the earth. Their unique bond is threatened when an inexplicable stranger arrives with alarming news.

Welcome to the first DOUBLE-FEATURE of our 4th season. In this special episode, we are diving back into silent move territory, before fast-forwarding almost one hundred years later to a current offering from Australia. Join us as we discuss the similarities and differences between the two and the dynamic of female characters in both. Listen as Johnny Has the Keys journeys into the future of two vastly different worlds, one a dystopia, the other an apocalypse, where we discover that human nature really never changes… does it?
