Genesis II-Planet Earth | Episode 470

Mark Maddox joins Jim for a discussion of two Gene Roddenberry TV Movie pilots from the early 1970s - "Genesis II" and "Planet Earth," starring Alex Cord, Mariette Hartley, Majel Barrett, Ted Cassidy, Percy Rodriguez, John Saxon, Diana Muldaur, and Christopher Cary. Both stories deal with a researcher (Cord, Saxon) who is trapped during a deep space hibernation experiment and found 150 years later after the Earth has suffered a nuclear war. Roddenberry hoped the pilots would become a nice follow-up to Star Trek. Find out more on this episode of MONSTER ATTACK!, The Podcast Dedicated To Old Monster Movies.
