Dr Hugo Wagner: But you're sacrificing a human life!
Dr Alfred Brandon: Do you cry over a guinea pig? This boy is a free police case. We're probably saving him from the gas chamber.
Dr Hugo Wagner: But the boy is so young, the transformation horrible--
Dr Alfred Brandon: And you call yourself a scientist! That's why you've never been anything more than an assistant!

It's another B-Masters' Roundtable! This time around, we're looking at prehistory according to the B-movie; at those strange and distant times when Neanderthals rubbed shoulders with dinosaurs, when warrior princesses were a dime a dozen, and when you couldn't turn around without tripping over He Whom The Prophecy Foretold. From cavemen to Conan, from swords to sorcerers, from fur bikinis to chain-mail brassieres, you'll find it all here!
It's 10,000 B.S. - all throughout February at the B-Masters' Blog!

05/03/2010: Apart from recovering The Devil Bat (1940) and Devil Bat's Daughter (1946) (see below), I have re-formatted Revolt Of The Zombies (1936) and Rocketship X-M (1950), and fixed up the screenshots in The Walking Dead (1936).
14/02/2010: Still more SCIENCE IN THE REEL WORLD! This time we have Dr Ehrlich's Magic Bullet (1940), a very fine biopic that shows us how science really happens, and Powder Town (1942), a comedy-action-romance-thriller that shows us how it really doesn't.
In other news, I have now recovered, re-formatted and added screenshots to my review of Destination Moon (1950), and re-fomatted and fixed up the screenshots in my review of The Flying Saucer (1950).
01/02/2010: This week we update SCIENCE IN THE REEL WORLD, looking at two romantic melodramas that have a scientist for their hero, His Brother's Wife (1936) and Dishonored Lady (1947).
Please note: following the Great Computer Meltdown of 2009, much of my early material was lost - temporarily, I hope. I am still very slowly recovering, re-formatting and in some cases revising those pieces; and I will post updated information here as it arises.
