Tales From The Bridge

On this episode of TFTB Film Club, our film nerds revisit the 2014 Sci-fi hit, Edge of Tomorrow. It's a great film, and there has long been talk of a sequel. Fingers crossed, Tom takes a break from completing impossible missions long enough to deliver on a long-anticipated part two. We'd love to see more Live, Die, Repeat on the big screen.

On this episode of TFTB, things take a turn for the weird. Our book of the month was the first instalment of the perfectly ridiculous (and kind of fun), Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. If you have a gamer teen that you want to read a GD book, this might be the way. On Science Fiction, Science Fact, we have a look at the surprising amount of moon missions that are in the works - it’s more than you think. We’ll also let you in on what else we’re reading, along with the usual shenanigans.

In this episode, we sit down with Edward Ashton. Edward is the author of Mickey 7, which has recently been adapted for the big screen. Released under the title Mickey 17  and directed by Bong Joon-Ho of Parasite fame with an all-star cast we definitely recommend it. 

Edward has authored several books, and I imagine many of our listeners are already familiar with Anti-Matter Blues, the sequel to Mickey 7. The Fourth Consort is his latest work, and you can also check out Mal Goes to War and Three Days in April. We had a great time and will be talking more about Mickey 7 in upcoming episodes.

On this episode of TFTB Film Club, we travel back to 2001 and chat about the cult classic; Donnie Darko. If you need a quick refresher - the film is about a teenager named Donnie Darko, who meets a demonic rabbit named Frank while sleepwalking. Happens all the time. Shenanigan's ensue, and the audience is left to wonder: Was it a dream? An alternate reality? Or a cry for help? We cover it all, and we’d love to get your take. Let us know on our socials below!

 In this episode, we talk about Adrian Tchaikovsky's novel, Service Model. This leads us into a bit of a discussion on audiobooks vs reading the old-fashioned way. Kevin talks about how governments are employing science fiction writers as futurists to consider "resilience beyond observed capabilities." It's interesting stuff, and we're sure to talk more about this in... the future. We also talk about what else we're reading and unveil the next book of the month, which may come as a surprise to our regular listeners...

In this episode of TFTB, we discuss The Mercy of Gods. A new series from James S.A. Corey, the writing duo behind one of the finest space operas ever published, The Expanse. The chances that this new series will also land on your television screen are good. The authors have teamed up with the former showrunners of The Expanse to create a media company called Expanding Universe. Under this shingle, they will be able to seamlessly transition their work from book to screen, and word is... that they already have a major development deal at Amazon MGM. Hopefully, there will be more to come on this!

Naturally, we've got a fun Science Fiction-Science Fact that would make Scully and Mulder proud. We’ll also reveal our next book of the month, and Kevin has a fun one for you. Let’s make our way over to the Bridge!
