WHAT IS THE BEST SCI-FI MOVIE OF ALL-TIME?

They’re not coming back at your age. Okay. Well, that’s not true. I had a golf excursion today. I want to tell you about one with my son and it had rained and so they didn’t allow carts on the golf course. And the course was so hilly. You’re climbing up 20 to 30 degree angles all day long. And on the front nine, I did 11,000 steps and they said 33 flights of stairs. I couldn’t have done that last year or 18 months ago because the Nana Soma gel you rub on took about two months, grows pluripotent stem cells and I no longer have the bone on bone effects where I just blow up.

It’s amazing what I was able to do. Now my muscles hurt like heck, my butt is sore, but this product was fantastic. And then of course there’s the wrinkle cream, but I used it for a major cut that I had. I needed stitches. I go, no, let’s try this. I’ve been told it does miracle things. Two weeks later, no scar, completely healed, no stitches needed. Pretty fantastic stuff. 15% off of the starter pack. Now you can purchase these individually, but you get 15% off if you purchase them together. And I got to tell you, if I had a wish for America, it would be to be on these products because they can turn a lot of things around.

Go to, I want my health back.com slash Dave Hodges. I want my health back.com slash Dave Hodges, but we have something that I really want to bring to your attention and that something happens to be, well, for fun, the greatest science fiction TV show of all time. And I’m going to tell you something up front because I’m going to do a series of pieces here in these segments and I’m going to address the alien ET issue. People said to me, Dave, you’re a Christian. How can you believe this? I don’t. I don’t.

And I’m going to talk about this. Now I’m going to continue to talk about aliens because I believe they’re part of the great deception. That is going to be covered in depth and in detail. I’m quoting scripture down the road here, but let’s have some fun with us. I asked myself the other day, because I was fascinated with this topic when I was a young child, too young to understand. I couldn’t get enough of science fiction. I remember watching replays of The Forbidden Planet. Oh, I love that show. I watched it probably three or four times.

And then of course, when I was a kid, they had on Star Trek, Captain Kirk, Leonard Des Moines Spock, DeForest Kelly as the doc. It was fantastic stuff. It was really, really good, entertaining stuff. And I’ll tell you what, Gene Roddenberry had some insight as to DARPA research, because the stuff he had in the show, the telecommunicator, wireless cell phones, the transporter working on that now can do it with inanimate objects, maybe animate objects, too. I don’t know. But what I do know is they’ve been doing this now for about 15 to 20 years that we know of in the public.

It’s a great show. Great show. Great storylines, great writing. I can’t believe it went off the air after only three years, because the reruns still live today. It was absolutely fantastic. And then there was a show that a lot of you won’t know. And this was popular when I was a kid as well. And it was called The Invaders. Ray Thinnis. A man who was out driving late one night, found some campers, and by chance discovered they were aliens and they were up to no good. And then he uncovers this plot where they take human form.

But you can tell them by their crooked ring finger. And they had a device that would cause a cerebral hemorrhage that they placed on the back of the neck. And the people would die of natural causes. And they eliminated their enemies. And they started to infiltrate American society. Now we only saw this from the American perspective. And reality would have been worldwide if it was a real event. And Ray Thinnis goes from episode to episode, gathering evidence, fighting the fight, and convincing people as to what’s going on. It was a good show.

It was a very good show. People say, was that the best? I’m not sure. I’m not sure. Then there’s the epic Twilight Zone. And I have watched every episode of the Twilight Zone. It used to be on when I was in college, as we runs. And I’d come back from my classes and I had a little time between that and practice and training table and all that stuff. But I’d have a little time here to relax. And it was a half hour long. Every day I rerun on channel two in Denver. And I watched it every single episode.

And it was fantastic stuff. The storylines were incredible. Some of the best writing I have ever seen. Rod Serling was an absolute genius, but he was the master at juxtaposition. I remember they were doing a plastic surgery operation on someone who was supposed to have been hideously ugly. She can’t really see a lot, but the surgeon’s hands, the face of the subject is covered. And then it’s over. The person they’re operating on trying to change was beautiful. Could have been a model. She was an actress. And then the people operating on her were hideously ugly.

Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder. My other favorite episode, there were actually two of them. One was where Roddy McDowell, he and a fellow astronaut, traveled to Mars. His friend was killed in the crash and the Martians found him and put him into a home and treated him well until one day he couldn’t get out of the house. And then the walls peeled back and he’s in a cage. Martians are staring at him and it said, man, earth, he was in a zoo. What was that shocking? And then the other one, and the one that really comes to mind because today the congressional hearings on UFOs and all that good stuff, I just, it’s absolutely fantastic.

The show was called to serve man and it was the kenomites that came to earth and they gave great wonders to the world. I’ll be talking about the great deception later on from revelations 13, but also bridge a little bit into Thessalonians two in Matthew 23, 24. And this was the great deception and they had a book entitled to serve man. What man did not know until it was almost too late to serve man was a cookbook. We were the main dish for the eight foot tall kenomites. That freaked me out. And I watched that as a child.

And I remember my parents were gone on a Monday night to some of the military event and I’m hiding under the bed and they get home. Yeah. I was probably six or seven years old. Yeah. You could leave your kids alone in those days. Well, the house unlocked. We’re just talking about that the other day. But anyway, that was fantastic. There was one other show and it was the old version and a nineties version, a sixties version and a nineties version. I don’t remember a lot about the sixties version. So I was pretty young when this first came out, but it was the best manipulation of high tech TV for an intro I’ve ever seen as a child.

We control the vertical. We control the horizontal. Yes. I’m talking about the outer limits and there were some really, really thought provoking shows. There was one though that I’ll never forget. And I recently saw it on a rerun. Actually, I think I saw it on a YouTube rerun, but Chinese developed the ability to inject somebody with something and you could change the appearance to be a famous public figure. And they were attempting to take over key government positions, including the presidency. And just in the nick of time, they were caught and boy, was that prophetic.

The Chinese infiltrating American government. Now tell that to Mark Kelly. That was a fantastic show, but the new version was really good. And there was an episode in there that didn’t really strike me the way it does today. When I look back on it, I remember when Obama came into office and he met with resistance on AI research. He ignored it. When Biden came into office, he was hit with a petition from 10,000 scientists say, if we don’t get a control on this, this is going to be sentient. And pretty soon, they’re not going to have time for us.

This could be very dangerous for humanity. 10,000 scientists. Well, Biden didn’t even know. Probably didn’t even read it. Probably didn’t know it existed and his people ignored it. But there was an episode in the newer version of the outer limits where humans were fighting a war against AI. It would be a no contest. Trust me. AI would win. And it does remind me of the book of revelation where it says that if Jesus didn’t return for the second time, there would be no flesh left alive. I look back on that episode from the newest version, part two of the outer limits in the 1990s.

And I say, wow, was that good? Was that prophetic? Was that really ahead of its time? But I don’t think anything replaces what Rod Sterling did. Anyway, to me, those were the top TV shows for science fiction. Which one do you think was the best? Do you have another one in mind? Well, drop me a comment. Let me know what you think. And we might do a deep dive on that as well. I’m going to come back here. We’re going to talk about movies that got my attention along the same lines. Now this is leading to something I’m warning.

It’s coming to the quote, great deception, but I thought we’d have fun walking down memory lane. And to those of you who are under 45, actually under 50, I would say this to you. You probably have a lot of experience with these shows because they’re still out there. In fact, actually, I was looking to watch the Broncos play the Jets in London. I wasn’t sure where it was on. I just knew it was six 30 in the morning, my time on a Sunday. So I’m scrolling through the online TV guide. And there it was in some obscure channel.

I’ve never heard of the invaders. Well, my search stopped for the football game while I watched the last 15 minutes of the show. And it was classic invaders. We saw the cerebral hemorrhage causing device to the aliens. And when they died, they evaporated in the flame and it was gone. It was all right there. And I thought, yeah, that takes me back in time to my childhood. Those shows are still around if you’re young. And I’ll tell you, Rod Serling’s episodes in the time that they never get old, they never get outdated by modern technological advancement.

And for a lot of reasons too, I don’t think a lot of these shows do, but stay tuned because we’re going to be back and we’re going to have the same discussion on the best sci-fi movies of all time.
