Wow, so cool, awesome cast Mark. :thumbsup I had never even heard of this film and by the end of your cast I was totally engrossed. I love how it ends.
Excellent job Mark! Really enjoyed this, I haven't seen this in forever, will defiantly give it another look!

Agreed. Not a film I've seen but from the way you put it across it sounds just about perfect in the way it comes to a conclusion. That is exactly the sort of ending I enjoy for these sorts of stories.
Thanks for turning me onto it. I'll have to keep an eye out for it now.
I just streamed it from that YouTube link Rico posted while sitting here at work! Great movie!
Doh! Forgot the link.
Thanks
(Think I might look at it at home though - not going to work too well for me in a open plan office)
I enjoy how Mark covers these older Sci-Fi movies. Looking foward to hearing another one sometime.
I just listen to the podcast today. I saw this movie a long time ago and I really thought it was great. I have wanted to see it again sometime and I had allready noticed it was on youtube. this is a fave of mine and the whole thing about a supper computer taking over the lives of everone is darn right scary. I still can't figure out how the security guards carried out the execution of the scientist, did collus have a hold over them.
I do look forward to the remake. I wounder how it would be done today since the orignail was a product of the cold war.
Hi all to the forum, I was able to watch Colossus on youtube today. It had been taken down on the channel posted here on the forum however I found it re-posted today on a youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wBhTI2lRi0&list=PL6DCD8CF1A8371073&index=6 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wBhTI2lRi0&list=PL6DCD8CF1A8371073&index=6) I loved watching this movie a second time, its a good geek type movie. computer nerds would love it.
Great Podcast mark, never heard of this and I loved your description of the film and now as usual with enjoyable podcasts i want to go out and buy the darn thing :)
