Soylent Green

We take a break from our usually scheduled programming to take a look at one of the sweatiest, and one might say tastiest, sci-fi films ever made featuring Mr. Machismo himself, Charlton Heston: Soylent Green. Dean of Media and Communications at Texas Tech Dr. David Perlmutter stops to not only program his first episode but also offer some high-level analysis of the film.Starring Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson, the two play a cop and ex-analyst who live in a post-apocalyptic New York City on the brink of a food shortage due to the ingredients of Soylent suddenly drying up. They stumble upon a secret however so world-altering and sanity-jarring that it could shake up their entire existence if discovered. It's a true gem of a sci-fi thriller.For more Kulturecast episodes and many more podcasts that are guaranteed to be your new favorite audio obsession, check out Weirding Way Media at weirdingwaymedia.com.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.
