Episode 52 — Schizophrenic Computers, Weird News, and Bad Movies

Half of it, anyway. Jason Sanford, John Ottinger, and Adam join us for a discussion about the SF/F/H movies coming out in June, some really weird science news, and film adaptations of SF/F books. A few jokes are had at Shaun’s expense and Inception gets what’s coming to it… (This episode is half of a much larger recording. The second half is discussion oriented and is focused on religion in SF/F and our thoughts on why fantasy literature fairs better than science fiction. I expect that episode to go up on Monday, if not earlier.) Tune in and enjoy!

X-men: First Class (IMDB) (Somewhere Stan Lee is wiping his butt with $100 bills.) Super 8 (IMDB) (In which J. J. Abrams ruins some trains and childhood innocence…) Trollhunter (IMDB) (UV lights also work on Newt Gingrich.) Green Lantern (IMDB) (Ab porn. That’s all this is. Two hours of a hot guy’s abs.) Transformers: Dark of the Moon (IMDB) (Whatever…) Bradley Cooper Anxious to Adapt Dan Simmons’ Hyperion (Which will come out right after The Hangover: Alcoholics Anonymous Edition.)
