In this episode of Let's Talk About the Deep Stuff, host Sean Kneese sits down with sci-fi writer and director Patrick Devaney to explore how art — especially in genres like science fiction and horror — goes far beyond entertainment. From The Twilight Zone to Star Trek to Star Wars, they discuss how storytelling can reflect society, challenge power structures, and make bold political statements.
