FantaSci Cafe: Fear and Hope

The eleventh episode of FantaSci Cafe is here but this is a transition episode that is focused mainly on a bunch of news updates along with my brief tribute to Arthur C. Clarke.

FantaSci Cafe: Walking Away

In a very special episode, FantaSci Cafe dips its toe into the waters of Sci Fi ethics, and talks specifically about the Ursula K. LeGuine story, "The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas".

This episode wasn't planned and I didn't think I'd have much to talk about so imagine my surprise when I looked at the time and realized that I spoke for nearly twenty minutes on the subject and I really could have gone on much longer. This is a big topic with a lot of angles and positions to explore so I imagine in the second season there will be another ethics show.

FantaSci Cafe: Scaring the Share

These week is focused on horror and the book Horror 101: The A-List of Horror Films and Monster Movies Vol. 1 edited by Aaron Christensen. Sadly it looks as thought it is currently out of stock. Aaron Christensen's website is http://www.horror101withdrac.com/ and if I had properly done my research, I would have noticed that the very thing I wish this book had, breakdown of movies by subgenres and all that is one of the very things that is being created as part of Horror U, so boo on me for failing to take the extra step and read, but yay for getting what I want.

The George Romero interview is at the following link: http://video.scifi.com/player/?id=220546 and I recommend watching it.
