DISCUSSIONS FROM THE OTHERHOOD

Who are you when you read or watch speculative fiction? Are you the protagonist? Are you the omniscient observer? Are you the anti-hero? Does your ethnicity or sex alter your perspective or point of view? How long did you commiserate with Norman Bates? These and other questions on the October 21st edition of Other Sci-Fi

In the previous podcast we discussed the original BladeRunner and what we expected to see in BladeRunner 2049 based upon the critic's reviews. Well... suffice it to say... not exactly what we expected. Join us tonight to discuss your and our take on BladeRunner 2049.

So here it is the new Blade Runner film after long last, but does this incarnation do justice to the last or the Philip K. Dick story. Should we be saving up our ducats to see this or should we hold on to our nostalgia?

Take a look at Horror New Net's "complete" list ( http://horrornews.net/43865/the-complete-list-of-stephen-king-adaptations/) and join us to discuss your favorites and to challenge whether their list is actually complete!

There's this show that EVERYBODY'S talking about, everywhere you turn. There's references dropped everywhere and it seems like EVERYBODY'S watching it; except you. Maybe you tried it once and couldn't get into it, maybe you have no desire to even try, but tell us why. And also tell us what we're missing by not watching the show that you watch but we don't. (In fact, we start looking for an exit whenever you bring it up.) Join us with your list and we'll share ours!

It's all over but the shouting (weeping, swearing, gagging). Was it all it was cracked up to be? Were you pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised? Do you see another Defenders in the future or hope this was the end? Let's talk about it!
