A Film Series Only We Could Have: B-Movies and Bad Science!
B-Movies and Bad Science starts again in summer, 2010! Check back here!
Have incredible shrinking men, creatures from black lagoons and giant atomic ants ever got you wondering if such things were even possible? Sure, those classic B-movies are pure entertainment, but you have to admit Hollywood has always played fast and loose with the laws of physics, chemistry, biology, and, oh yeah — logic.
All summer, twice a month, we're proud to bring back by popular demand one of the quirkiest movie series running in this movie-mad town: B-Movies and Bad Science!
Come join us for thrills, chills, and, yes, all the goofiness of those vintage sci-fi and horror flicks, and stick around for a lively, light-hearted discussion with our own science experts as we pick apart the day's featured movie to see if there's any common ground between science fact and science fiction.
After the film, be sure to stroll our world-renowned exhibit halls, check out a spotlighted specimen from the collection or the colorful B-movie memorabilia, including lobby cards, posters, and even actual movie props. See it all, and you'll agree that real science can be just as wild and out of this world as reel science!
