The Incomparable Mothership

621: They Built the Halos

Listen Later

Let’s face it, there’s not a lot of evidence to support the cause of adapting video games for movies or TV. And yet we tried the “Halo” TV series from Paramount+ and… liked it? We discuss making the Master Chief a real character with a strong supporting cast, why the UNSC is not trustworthy, the origin of Cortana, and the show’s connections to Star Wars, Firefly, and… 2001?!

"Halo" season 1

Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, James Thomson and Dan Moren
