    Murderbot Diaries
    Nov 16 2023

    Martha Wells' "Murderbot Diaries" follows one of science fiction's most introverted (but also most likable!) protagonists through an alarmingly familiar corporate hellscape in an epic journey to get as far from humans as possible.

    Dune Part II discussion (feat. Loïc Suberville)
    Jul 18 2023

    Spoiler alert!

    I am joined by my good friend and tri-lingual comedic wonder Loïc Suberville to discuss the second trailer for "Dune: Part II." We talk about Call of Duty, Man of Steel, and a BUNCH of things we are absolutely not qualified to comment on. Oh, and there's even some Dune talk here and there!

  • Against a Dark Background

    Against a Dark Background
    Apr 15 2023
    Iain M. Banks spirits us away to a crumbling solar system where technological advancement and supremacy comes not in what its inhabitants can make for themselves, but in what they can pilfer from the ruins of the countless failed civilizations that came before. 

    Come for the homicidal cultists and daring heists; stay for the existential dread!

    (Minor "spoilers" between 1:09:24 and 1:13:40).
