ITF Read & Watch: Enemy Mine (1979 novella & 1985 film)

Watch out for meteor showers! This week on episode 102, Luke
& James are tackling Barry B. Longyear’s Enemy Mine and
Wolfgang Petersen’s adaptation at the same time. From the story’s
still-relevant allegories to the mainline of 80s Sci-Fi
nostalgia, this cult-classic starring Dennis Quaid and Louis
Gossett Jr. gives them plenty to discuss.


Questions include: Was the film ahead of its time? When did PG-13
become an official rating? What does the various designs of
aliens in Sci-Fi films mean? Does the book or film depict asexual
reproduction better? Which has the better final act? And who
should watch this film or read this book?
