Podside Picnic

Houston, Houston. . . do you read? Aaron Thorpe returns to the Pod as we drift in an eccentric orbit around the first season of For All Mankind.

As Spring has turned to late Summer, the time has come to say our good-byes to Hazel & Co. Fare thee well, bunnies!

Today we discuss Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury to see if it answers the question: does it serve as a bridge between Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick? And the answer's a resounding, "sure, why not?"

Ever wanted to know all about a cool dude who got a shine job on his eyes in prison? Well, do we have the movie for you - 2000's Pitch Black, introducing us to galactic criminal, Richard B. Riddick

Beer run time is here again. Cheers, everyone!

Today we start talking about Naomi Kritzer's multi-award winner, Cat Pictures, Please and since it references Bruce Sterling's Maneki Neko we talk about that story, too!

Check both stories out:

We return with a crap book from the past (you might recognize the cover art from a previous crap book episode!) where sometimes being a bit of a fuckup makes for fun reading

Podside Radio returns, this time to learn about the proto-metal, proto-prog, semi-jam band. . . and their extensive lore. Tune in!

Time for another Dante! This time, it's The Burbs (1989) - a comedy about the horrors of living in suburbia with Tom Hanks

Spring has indeed sprung. What better time to talk about bunnies? Who are on an epic quest to find a new home?
