TFTB Film Club: Cocoon (1985)

Nov 27 2024 34 mins  
On this episode of Film Club, we discuss the a classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon. Released in 1985, the movie actually garnered an Oscar for best visual effects. You could say…. 1985 was a simpler time. When else could a film with octogenarian protagonists carry a sci-fi thriller. It’s an under-rated classic, worthy of discussion. They don’t green light these kinds of stories a

In this episode we sit down with New York Times best selling Fantasy author, Travis Baldree. If you haven’t read Legends and Lattes, we highly recommend it.

Our conversation covered a lot of ground, and it was great

You may have already listened to our episode where we talk about The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. We liked the book so much… we wanted to see if we could have a chat with the author.

In this episode of TFTB Film Club we look at Ridley Scott’s, Blade Runner! It’s not all fun and games though, it’s a dark film and so was our discussion.

Alright, let's make our way over to the bridge.Please let us know if the

For future episodes, we're going to make it more of a challenge, and our movie selections will have t
