The History of Science Fiction begins on the 2nd of July and will run over five different Tuesdays. Link to post Share on other sites

And I thought nothing could be worse than the slapstick course... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think they're trying to cover all the main Hollywood genres. They haven't done horror yet, so that's probably next year. Link to post Share on other sites

LRH6 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Science fiction - the one genre I really don't watch. I'm not knocking it, but it's just not my thing. So I'll skip this year. Too bad. I'd like to see courses that don't necessarily focus on genre. Like the Hitchcock course was great. How about another director? Or music in films? Thanks for the info.

Ihopetheresice Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 According to TCM’s twitter they will not be offering a course this year. It would appear the sci-fi lineup in July is just a themed selection for the month. I’ve attached the link where TCM replies to someone about it. https://twitter.com/tcm/status/1131225881161216000?s=21 Link to post Share on other sites

ColoLynn Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I was getting a little worried that there hadn't been any mention of a summer course yet. I remembered there being promos well in advance of the start time - but I was probably anxious for it to start haha. Horror and science fiction are both genres that I would not normally seek out - which is EXACTLY why I would be interested in learning more. Which is the point after all. I'll still be anxiously waiting. . . Highlight of my summers 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Even if there is no course to accompany it, you will still enjoy watching what the channel has to offer next month. Link to post Share on other sites

lpetiti Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hopefully there will be a course in 2020. I always enjoy them. Link to post Share on other sites
lpetiti Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 This would be a great time to have an online course roll out. Everything is so uncertain and scary, we could use something fun. Link to post Share on other sites
zacruble Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Hi - This is a bit late but I'm curious if anyone has access to the course files/documents. I somehow missed the announcement when it was offered a few years back and didn't register, sadly. I'd love to take a peak at the course via PDFs or something along those lines. I was able to sign up for the previous classes (Noir/Hitchcock/Slapstick) and still have access to those classes thankfully. And I too hope that TCM continues to offer more of these classes. TCM will always be my favorite station, period. Link to post Share on other sites
