Introducing: CLASSIC CINEMA: Ep 1. SUPERPOWER WISHES was recorded live on Facebook and Youtube on Tuesday May 11th, 2021 at 7:00pm EDT.
Hosted by producer, writer and comedian Michelle Barbera.
Guests: John Semper and Paul Salamoff
Michelle Barberais an artist, comedian, producer, and writer who lives in the Boston area with her husband, 4 children, and dog. She is cofounder and co-director of the Women in Comedy Festival, presented by HBO, now in its 11th year. She discovered her love of sci-fi and horror via unmonitored cable viewing and stalking the Worcester public library throughout her childhood. Checking her closet for pod people every night for two years was a small price to pay for the joy of vicarious interstellar journeys, sentient AI, and watching a human head sprout legs and scuttle away.
Boston-born John Semper was there at the very beginning of the Boston Sci-Fi Festival when he was the assistant manager of the legendary Orson Welles Cinema. He has since gone on to have a forty year career writing and producing TV series and movies in Hollywood. He is best known as the writer/producer of SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES and co-writer of the cult comedy film CLASS ACT.
Paul J. Salamoff has been working for over 30 years in Film, TV, Video Games and Commercials as a Writer, Producer, Director, Executive, Comic Creator, Storyboard Artist and Make-Up FX Artist as well as a Teacher at THE NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY. He is the author of ON THE SET: The Hidden Rules of Movie Making Etiquette and the graphic novels Hired Guns, Discord, Tales of Discord and Logan’s Run. His short stories and essays have been included in acclaimed anthologies including MIDIAN UNMADE: Tales From Clive Barker’s Nightbreed and THE CYBERPUNK NEXUS: Exploring The Blade Runner Universe and he is a two-time Bram Stoker Award Nominee. Salamoff's feature-film directorial debut ENCOUNTER, is a multi award-winning Sci-Fi/Drama based on his original screenplay that stars Luke Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Cheryl Texiera and Tom Atkins.

Fifty years is a long time. Much has happened. Much has changed. Fifty years ago the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival began at a legendary movie theatre. Later it overcame a fire, an historic blizzard, and a plague. It overcame changing demographics, and rapidly evolving technologies. We have gone from seeing movies only in movie theatre to being able to catch a blockbuster while riding on a bus. Authors Robert Viagas and Harry Lohr, Jr passionately recount their adventure in creating a history of America's longest running genre film festival - The 50th Boston Science Fiction Film Festival & Marathon, Host: Garen Daly

They won an Oscar, but now when we re-see them we wonder, what were we thinking? Certain films win acclaim only to become forgotten or dismissed because they didn't age well or simply fell out of favor. Today's podcast looks Wizard of Oz, Ghost in the Shell, Gravity, and Everything Everywhere All at Once to see if they are overrated or not. Joining the conversation are Alexis den Boggende (film writer, Boston Hassle) and Oscar Goff (film editor, Boston Hassle) MC Is Garen Daly (Boston SciFi)

Back in the day, science fiction on television was all TWILIGHT ZONE, OUTER LIMITS, the original STAR TREK, and if you really pushed it, MY FAVORITE MARTIAN.
These days the plots are intricate, and smart. These days the shows push boundaries no TV show has pushed before. These days it is the reboot of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. These days it is the edgy,THE EXPANSE. These days it is a throwback STRANGER THINGS. These days it was once unfilmmable FOUNDATION. Oh, did we mention how incredible the SFX are?
Boston ScIFi takes a deep dive into the how and the why we are seeing and experiencing so much great TV. Listen in. The Future is Now. The Golden Age of TV is Now.
Joining MC Michelle Barbera is Den of Geek's TV maven Michael Ahr and MIT Tech Review's Erin Underwood.
