I just listen to the podcast last night. great podcast M-5. I have seen this movie once or twice over the years. it is a great movie. I loved the special effects and the movie score. I love the score for the main title, very orchestral and sci-fi with the Tremain music at the same time. I have always wondered about about the ending. did the head of euro sec cause the crash of the doppergagger or was it just an accident?
Cool blast from the past M-5!
My best friend way back in grade school told be about this cool movie.
2001: A Space Odyssey had been out and we we're excited to see more.
The mirror Earth was such a surprise and it's funny that even today I recall a question asked on a science show if there may be a planet in orbit opposite of our own.
The answer given was with todays space probes we know for certain there isn't. ;)
Loved the podcast. I haven't heard of this one, so now I'll have to track it down. I'm a big fan of classic SF.
Great podcast Mark, finally got to listen today and you brought loads of memories back. I was always scared of this film, it's like a dream. You know what the room is but something is not quite right like the switch being on the opposite side eye.
Great music and samples, brilliant podcast :)
Really enjoyed the cast Mark, thanks! I remember seeing this one on TV back in the early 70's. I'll have to dig it up again for another watch.
Thank you all for the good vibes. I'm glad you all enjoyed it.
I loved your podcast Mark! I've never heard of this movie and now I must get a hold of it. Very cool and planet of the apes-ish. Thanks for rocking tsf!
I don't remember seeing this but the ending rings a bell or two. Good podcast. I want to watch the film now.
Good podcast! I know this movie off by heart, and will have to pull the DVD out again over Christmas!
Cool Podcast Mark, never heard of this movie but will keep an eye out for it. You have a great voice for Podcasting.

Thank you for those kind words.
One thing I noticed was how much the music reminded of what Barry Gray did for "Space: 1999." Very similar stuff.

Thanks for mentioning that. I knew I'd missed something in my comment and that similarity was what struck me throughout the clips played.
Just had a chance to listen to this this morning and I went and put it on my Netflix DVD Q. Sounds like a very interesting movie. Great podcast, Mark.
