Show Notes
War of the Worlds – the book, the movie
Original book. Orson Welled radio broadcast hysteria not as reported. Radiolab report on repeated adaptations. The new developments at the time of writing that informed the book.
Alien Attack
Methods, research, planning. Trying to explain the buried death-bots.
But Why
Are we food? Do they want our resources? Making the most sense of the options. Are liquified people good for fertilizer?
Germ Attack
They might have done a little more research.
Goodbyes
SAL: Tadesko can’t move 40 containers in an hour. I need somebody who can do double picks.
RAY: I wish I could help you Sal. God damn union regulations.
