While the blockbuster Star Wars ignited the imaginations of a whole country and brought science-fiction to popular culture, there was an ugly side to this phenomenon. Science-fiction became a gimmick and educational film producers were quick to adopt anything that would get kids’ attention. The A/V Geeks present a DVD of educational films that feature sci-fi elements to make their points – often creating a bizarre, muddled mess of a film. Films include – Freedom 2000, Verbstar, Staying Away From Strangers, Lintola, Creatures of the Land and more!
Films about the automobile – how they are made, how we drive them and adore them. Films include: What Made Sammy Speed, Stop Driving Us Crazy!, Trader Vic’s Used Cars, The Mustang and Ballet Robotique. 
Let’s face it, August was brutally hot and the AV Geeks spend most of their time holed up in a dark dank basement watching films. To counteract the sticky humidity of Houston, we presented a show of films about living in cold weather. Films include Play In The Snow, How to drive on snow and ice, Surviving The Cold, White Wilderness – Lemmings, Cipher In the Snow and How to build an igloo, and more!
