The Hunger Games – All of Them
In the middle of a terrible sickness, we caved and watched these movies. They are garbage. Where did those white zombie creatures come from at the end? Go watch Battle Royale instead.
Mad Max: Fury Road
It is as good as you have heard.
Logan’s Run
A Canticle for Liebowitz
For some people, seeing isn’t believing. Originally aired by NPR in the winter of ’81 – ’82, this 15-part radio drama adaptation of the classic novel is now available on demand all over the internet.

Ridley Scott is reportedly directing an adaptation. No word on the release date.
Planet of the Apes
While undeniably a classic, Charlton Heston sweats more in Soylent Green.

Margaret Atwood!
Oryx and Crake remains one of my favorite works of s.f. Artfully crafted and intricately layered, Atwood’s work rewards multiple readings. Now you have an excuse to pull it off the shelf.
NOTE TO OUR NYC MEMBERS–Brooklyn’s finest book club is discussing Oryx and Crake on May 7, 2016. PM me for details (if that’s not possible the way the site is setup right now, please let me know in the comments). See past Book Clubb events here: http://eattoread.tumblr.com/
Snowpiercer
Tilda Swinton! This film is a wonderful reimagining of the french graphic novels. Before or after watching the film, get some fish and read all three volumes. Also, is there anyone who is not heart breakingly attracted to Tilda Swinton? If you are indifferent, please watch Only Lovers Left Alive and then try to tell me you don’t want her to turn you. Tilda, if you are reading this, I pledge my devotion.
Alphaville
This classic film is partly responsible for breaking one of our founding member’s hips.
