#badscifilm, esp. those featuring post-apocalyptic anachronism +/- space colonialism -
Apocalypse films are my jam. I'll do some in future. Race history and colonial relations

Love it! We're also fond of the gender politics of disaster films :)

I LOVE disaster movies. Grand speeches about why humanity should be saved by White men. No one listens to scientists until it's too late.

*especially* if they're women - and if queer, non-white, or not conventionally attractive, expect death within first 20-30 minutes!

Nope- POC hardly feature in disaster movies except as background fodder. White women always survive to end b/c they are prize for White men.

Yep, plot only requires one surviving woman - or two if there's a daughter involved.
