Metropolis (1927) | Movie Review | First in Metropolis Series

Before you listen to our review, join Corbin as he guides you through the history and impact of Metropolis

93 years ago...yes, you read that correctly! Nearly a century ago, German director Fritz Lang brought a monumental vision to the silver screen. The scope and cost of the film was so epic that it nearly bankrupted the studio and was considered too dense for audiences at the time. Shockingly, in one of the first instances of studio interference, the complete cut of the film was butchered and seemingly lost forever. In 2010, the full cut was found, restored and resurrected. Join Corbin and Allen as they bring you their review at long last of the film that started the science fiction/dystopian genre influencing both books and movies.
