On this episode of TFTB, we review Ancestral Night by acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author Elizabeth Bear.  Ancestral Night is a Space Opera in the new vein that covers psychology,  politics, diversity, artificial intelligence, and still manages to include space pirates.

It's quite a ride and we have plenty to talk about. In 'Science-Fiction, Science-Fact' we consider the potential of a Starbucks on the moon and a new barfy way to reach orbit. We also have some trivia and as always, a good time.

On this episode of TFTB, we sit down with acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author Elizabeth Bear.  Elizabeth shares her thoughts on world-building and representation in sci-fi. We also look at government as technology and righting your mind. As a bonus, we also hear our favorite definition yet of what constitutes a space opera. It is all listening-time well spent.

On this episode of TFTB, we review Denis Villeneuve's Dune! It's okay...

Just kidding, it's a cinematic feat, and our panel of Dune pundits takes you through it all. We cover the film, the books, and the strange dependence on swords in a universe filled with lasers. We also discover Tristan's animosity towards another sci-fi franchise that has us wondering how well we really know him.
