Sadly skewed rating
This short documentary gives a very good overview of the pulp magazines that were popular from the 1910s to the 1940s. It covers the different genres, but concentrates on Science Fiction.
The shame of this low rating (4.9 in 2023) can be blamed on the hatred many feel for L. Ron Hubbard. I'm no apologist for the Church of Scientology. I think it's as crazy as most other people think. But there's no exaggeration in what this documentary says about Hubbard. He was one of, if not the most, prolific of all writers of that period. His stories sold because of his abundant imagination.
Contrary to what another reviewer "suspects", there is absolutely no connection between The Church of Scientology and the makers of this documentary.
