A Match Made in Space: A humorous look at romance in sci-fi / fantasy films

Room 505 - Reel Heroes Film Series

Sunday July 2, 2017 - 1:00 pm to 1:50 pm


Link and Trai are more than just dating—they are uber-geeks who share a passion for deconstructing how love works (and doesn’t work) in sci-fi and fantasy. Love isn’t the main driving thematic force when we’re dealing with Black Matter, the Force, and terra forming alien worlds. But sci-fi and fantasy enables us to distance ourselves from social issues and be objective while dating across a universe of cultural differences. From Zoe and Wash to Lois and Clark, from Han and Leia to Khal Drogo and the Khaleesi—what makes their love work among the stars?
