B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite dystopian content into the ol’ VCR.

For no reason whatsoever, I’ve been thinking a lot about dystopian content lately. 

I haven’t been able to pinpoint why I’ve been thinking about content that involves a lot of overreach and depicts what happens when the elite are left in charge… 

…where people are purposely kept uneducated to keep them from being resilient and easier to control. 

You know, just super casual thoughts that aren’t related to anything currently happening. 

In other words, I’ve been doing my research because my calendar seems to have gone back 40 years to 1984. 

And, I don’t know if this is necessarily the healthiest thing, but it’s helping me cope in a weird way?

Maybe it’s because some of these movies and shows have heroes who defeat the system, and I just need that hope right now…

….or maybe it’s more like exposure therapy. 

Either way, here we are. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite pieces of dystopian content: 

• Gattaca
• Tank Girl 
• They Live 
• Children of Men 
• The Purge series
• 12 Monkeys (1995)
• A Clockwork Orange 
• Mad Max: Fury Road 
• The Hunger Games series
• Silo (the Apple TV+ series)
