    Ancient Astronauts and The Old Ones At the Mountains of Madness and Prometheus | Podcast

    On today’s episode of the Cosmic Chronicles Podcast we explore H.P. Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness and Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. At the Mountains of Madness is one of Lovecraft's most beloved and most influential works in both the horror and science fiction genres. Prometheus has many similar elements and expands on certain themes also explored in Lovecraft's work. As big fans of both works, your hosts Quinn and James take you on a journey to explore what both pieces of media have to offer, examining the themes and ideas present in each one and comparing them to one another!

    Phillip K Dick's Unsettling Lost Cosmic Horror

    Phillip K Dick is an extremely influential Sci-Fi writer in fact, I would say he wrote some of the most influential works to come out of the new wave of the 60s and 70s. He’s most famous among the general public for being the author who wrote the source material for the Bladerunner movie, Do Androids dreams of Electric sheep, which is quite frankly very different and much weirder compared to the movie. I’ve already done a full video on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but today we’re going to be talking about a much less known story by Phillip K Dick, one that I think has silently influenced a lot of works of science fiction. There are threads of influence in movies like Matrix, and They Live and in other sci-fi that’s obsessed with hidden systems of control, manufactured reality, the mind-breaking idea that the world you experience is actively lying to you. This story appeared in a collection of short stories by Harlan Ellison called Dangerous visions. It included 33 stories by various authors. One was Faith of Our Fathers by Phillip K Dick. This was in 1967 during the New Wave a Sci-Fi, which we’ve dived into a few times on this channel. In short with was a movement within the sci-fi genre which originated in Britain, authors during the new wave began to explore more transgressive topics in sci-fi and push the Genre’s Boundaries, it’s from the New Wave that we get book like Dune, The Left Hand of Darkness, Nova by Samuel R. Delany and The Man in the High Castle.👽 Please consider supporting this channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ideasoficeandfireor PAYPAL - https://paypal.me/QuinnsIdeas?locale.x=en_US🎨 Art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/lxwyvO🎵 Music: https://www.youtube.com/@JamezDahlMusic📚 Get These Books!
