Beacon 23 Episode 3 "Why Can't We Go On As Three?". Image by MGM+. Copyright 2023.

If you're looking at this podcast, wondering where our coverage for the second episode of Beacon 23 is, look at our premiere episode. That episode covers both the premiere episode of the series as well as the second since they both came out on the same day. THIS podcast is for the 3rd episode - " Why Can't We Go On As Three?"

This episode spun the action dial back down a little from the pirate boarding escapade depicted in the previous two to allow some time for character development. Not only does the audience get a chance to see a bond grow between Aster and Halan, but we also learn some things about both of their histories that make us wonder if we should be rooting for them in the first place. Paul, Inez, and Gabby present you, the listener with tons of theories and possible explanations for what's going on with Beacon 23 and its residents.

This has been a big year for Hollywood, but maybe even more so for novelist Hugh Howey. After the long build up to getting his landmark novel Wool translated to the small screen in the form of AppleTV+'s "Silo", Howey's fans may not have expected to get a second dose of his work so soon. With MGM+'s Beacon 23 Premiere, Howey's fans and science fiction fans at large have something to rejoice about. Not to mention some good TV for at least the next seven weeks.

With this new podcast, Pod Clubhouse's resident sci-fi and Howey fan Paul, with the aid of friends, collaborators, and sisters Inez and Gabby, will examine every episode and offer theories about what's going on aboard the remote beacon, as well as the galaxy around it.

In this first podcast episode, the hosts discuss the events of episodes 1 and 2: "Corbenic" and "Wreckers". Definitely spoilers ahead.

Why are we, as humans, so certain that not only will we live to see the end times, but also that along the way, we will turn against each other in fundamentally brutal ways? At the heart of that brutality, at least with this episode's movies, lies our own ability to continue on as a species. When forces conspire to prevent people from conceiving, what dystopian population control measures will we put up with?

In The Handmaid's Tale, in the fascist post-America called Gilead, the new authorities enforce a convoluted version of musical chairs to keep fertile women, called handmaids, pregnant as often as possible. This officially sanctioned slavery is supposed to perpetuate "the best" the country has to offer by mating the handmaids with "Commanders", or governmental leaders. If the system sounds rigged to favor the same people responsible for creating it, you might be on to something.

In Children of Men, things are worse, if that's possible. Instead of dramatically low birthrates, there are NO births, and haven't been for the last eighteen years. That future also depicts a fascist government trying to control its citizens through force, but hopelessness has become so ingrained in people that even patriots have become jaded. What's the point of resisting when our shared doom is inevitable?

In this podcast, Paul and Inez examine and compare these films as they approach women's reproductive rights (and really all of their rights) in dystopian futures and then deliver their verdicts on which film dealt with that theme best.

Houston Horror Film Fest 2023 Exclusive Interview with Anjanette Clewis

In a moment of serendipity, while visiting with a friend attending the 2023 Houston Horror Film Fest who was there exclusively to see Billy Zane, a woman sat next to me and started saying the most interesting things I'd heard all day. Terms like "scream queen" (in the context of actually being one) aren't the kinds of things that one hears in the course of normal conversation, and if you know me at all, then you know that I needed to know more. So, I asked. And asked. And was probably rude to my other friend. And then asked if she was interested in appearing on the podcast. To my delight, she was. Anjanette, my new friend from the world of B-movies, jotted down some info and places I could find her work and we were all set.

Here's my interview with Anjanette Clewis, star of multiple entries into the Witchcraft movie series, Pot Zombies 2, and many other B-movie gems!

Go learn more about Anjanette's filmography: IMDb

In this interview, Paul chats with a filmmaker he met briefly at the 2023 edition of the Houston Horror Film Festival. Her name is Victoria Wallace Kinkead and she was at the fest with her 1 minute horror short "In the Dark". Victoria, with her producer Jason Leal, describes the process they used to create this short, some of their influences, and what they'll be working on next.
