Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir (with guest Peter Kuskie)

Peter Kuskie, who joined me for the Hugos There episode on Project Hail Mary, joins us for a discussion of the new movie, with some brief discussion of the book as well. For more book discussion, refer back to the Hugos episode. The movie is a terrific adaptation and a great experience in the theater. Amaze!

The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan, Part One (2006 book/2013 movie)

We return to Percy Jackson and the Mystifying Adaptations with Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, the 2013 movie based on The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan. Will this movie right the ship and kick of the remaining three movies into a successful and beloved quintilogy? (It will not.) We’ll reconvene next month for the Disney+ adaptation, which has a better chance of going the…

Star-Wikileaks! (The Star Wars Holiday Special, with guest Scott Kirkwood from starwarsholidayspecial.com)

We all attended a screening of the Star Wars Holiday Special in Vancouver, Washington a couple of weekends ago, and I reached out to one of the co-producers on the documentary film A Disturbance of the Force: How the Star Wars Holiday Special Happened, who happens to live in our town, and he agreed to host us for an informal discussion of the Special, the documentary, and his…

Murderbot Trailer discussion/reaction

We recorded some quick thoughts that ironically take a while to get to about the Murderbot trailer and what we hope to see in the series. Happy May the Fourth! Murderbot is a droid, so it’s clearly canon.

The Shepherd, by Frederick Forsyth (and 2023 short film)

A quick end of the year episode about the new Disney+ short film (40 minutes), Shepherd, based on the Frederick Forsyth novella of the same name. I believe the story is more well known by folks in Britain and former Crown Colonies than it is to American audiences; this was certainly our first experience of the story, and it’s quite delightful. All the best holiday greetings to all of you, and I…
