Dr. Cyclops & Downsizing: Pint-Sized Perils and Shrinking Science | MAD SCIENCE Pt 7
Manage episode 453835264 series 2565879
This week on Journey Through Sci-Fi, we’re tackling the science of shrinking with two unique takes on mad experiments. First, the technicolor terror of Dr. Cyclops (1940), where a power-mad scientist shrinks his colleagues to doll-sized proportions. Then, the satirical Downsizing (2017), where miniaturization is pitched as a solution to society’s woes—with some bizarre twists.
Join us as we explore the science, the ethics, and why shrinking remains such a big deal in sci-fi.
