“Hmm, I wonder what Planet Earth is listening to on its headphones? ARGH! I didn’t think whale music could get so loud!”

I don’t understand the perspective in this.
The giant headphones of Doom are behind the man in blue but the electric rays still look like he is standing inbetween them?

Guy being tortured by radio messages from outer space? Sounds unfortunately like Dick’s world view…

The Weather Channel would be going into apocalypse mode over all those low pressure systems.

This reminds of the scene from Seinfeld when Elaine tries on that deaf guy’s ear piece.

Yep I’ve seen before. Death by stereo!

I’ve always been puzzled by the blue guy. Either he is blue all over and wearing nothing but a black blazer… or he may be wearing a blue jumper that blends in with his blue skin and makes him look as if he is naked except for the blazer.

I have a few Panthers of this vintage, including PKDs, and love the covers.
Not, however, this one.

“Afro time, dear blue H!”

@anon: a man being forcibly permed and made to resemble blue sky? This is what happened when the mothership on those ELO album covers finally landed and released their mind-wiping drones.

“Oh, that’s just great. We blow our entire FX budget on the ‘Roj Blake being tortured’ sequence, and now they tell me they’re only going to use an extreme close-up of his agonised face in the titles!”

Experiment VI: does a human-Smurf hybrid have a higher tolerance for 70s novelty records than normal?

When the Earth hits your girth and you’re blue like a Smurf, that’s al-Bemuth!

(arguably cheesier than the book cover)
Which came first… the movie or the sound track?
