Tales From The Bridge

On this episode of Film Club, we discuss the a classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon. Released in 1985, the movie actually garnered an Oscar for best visual effects. You could say…. 1985 was a simpler time. When else could a film with octogenarian protagonists carry a sci-fi thriller. It’s an under-rated classic, worthy of discussion. They don’t green light these kinds of stories anymore.

Or do they? Let us know what you think using the links below.

Joining us on the Bridge is author, illustrator, and game designer, Andrew Kolb. Andrew has just released his third Tabletop Role Playing Game; Wonderland, which is out now. We had a great time talking about RPGs, and game design. Andrew is also a prolific artist and illustrator whose work draws on some of our favourite themes here on TFTB, so we've got plenty to cover.

In this episode we sit down with New York Times best selling Fantasy author, Travis Baldree. If you haven’t read Legends and Lattes, we highly recommend it. The series falls into an emerging sub-genre that we’ve covered in the past called ‘cozy fantasy’. It’s nice escape for those looking for a  nice low-key read. Our conversation covered a lot of ground, and it was great to have Travis on the show.

We're excited to have Scott Ryan on the Bridge this week. Scott is the author of The Last Days of Letterman, and best-seller, Moonlighting: An Oral History. We dig into his latest book The Last Decade of Cinema, which argues that the 1990s was the last decade of truly original film. We also get his take on Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek, which you need to hear. We had a lot of fun, and Scott made some points that are pretty tough to argue.

Make sure to check out Scott's website, and all the cool things he's up to here: https://www.scottryanproductions.com/product/the-last-decade-of-cinema/

You may have already listened to our episode where we talk about The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. We liked the book so much… we wanted to see if we could have a chat with the author. Sure enough, Claire North (aka Catherine Webb), was kind enough to join us on the bridge, and we really had a great time. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Check out Claire’s website: https://www.clairenorth.com/ she is a prolific, and highly talented writer, and you’ll find lots of great reading here.

In this episode of TFTB Film Club we look at Ridley Scott’s, Blade Runner! It’s not all fun and games though, it’s a dark film and so was our discussion. There is also a controversial opinion on Harrison Ford… We also name our next film of the month and apparently we are still happily stuck in the 80s. Alright, let's make our way over to the bridge.

Back on the bridge this week with hope, sunshine, and rainbows, are fan favourites; Peter Watts and Richard K. Morgan. In Part Two of our conversation we are informed of our pending doom in the most delightful manner.

Either way, here are two sci-fi authors who should be in the same room together more often. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Here at TFTB, we find ourselves talking about Science Fiction movies almost as much as we talk about Science Fiction books. So as a companion to our Book Club episodes, we are going to start a Film Club. For our first discussion, we've decided to talk about a classic; Alien (1979).

For future episodes, we're going to make it more of a challenge, and our movie selections will have to be chosen in alphabetical order. So our next film choice will start with a B, and we're betting that you can guess. We hope you enjoy this new format!

Please let us know if there is a book you want us to bring to the book club or a film that you want us to review on the podcast!
