SciFi4Me: Live From the Bunker

The social medias are all abuzz with discussion and debate over the idea of users remaining anonymous behind avatars and fictitious usernames. Is it time for people to come out of the shadows and own their true identities? Or does that anonymity offer a certain amount of protection for those who want to say (or do) controversial -- perhaps illegal? -- things, or criticize others (or even their gov...

Dan and Matt are back for our monthly discussion of financial news. This time out: the new SEC rules and how they might impact short selling and the stock prices of businesses like AMC and GameStop. Plus a WarnerMedia update. And how are those gas prices? Might affect how often you travel to comicons...

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been starting to hear about behind-the-scenes activity that makes the STAR TREK productions sound like ... well ... not the best place to be.

We've hit a milestone with the show: as of yesterday, July 6th, the revival has been going for a full year. Today, we'll take a look back and see if there's anything we can do better.

He made many of the films that made us who we are. From the late 80s through the 90s, Richard Donner was the director of so many of the movies that informed our development as genre fans: SUPERMAN, LADYHAWKE, THE GOONIES, LETHAL WEAPON, MAVERICK, THE OMEN, and more. Plus, there's all the television he directed: TALES FROM THE CRYPT, KOJAK, THE WILD WILD WEST, GET SMART, and perhaps most impactful:...

Something we talk about from time to time is the need to develop new stories, new ideas, and -- dare we say? -- new franchises. But don't count on Hollywood or the New York publishers to take that kind of risk anymore. It's up to you. It's up to us.

Over the past week or so, we've seen a HUGE uptick in the subscriber count, and a number of videos -- especially THAT one... -- have much higher view counts. Which means there are quite a few (maybe a LOT) of new people here who might not be familiar with everything we do. So today, we'll take a little time to introduce our operation to all of those new to the audience. We're glad you're here, and...

It hasn't even been a week yet, and already we've seen gnashing of teeth, insults, rage fits, and outright bans spiral out of an interview we conducted last week. Over a game. A game that has a niche audience. It's a simple game... isn't it? Or is there more to it than that?

Those of us of an age remember when Dungeons & Dragons, the role-playing game of wizards and dragons and druids and demigods and more, was new from TSR. We played 1st edition. We rolled the dice before "Mazes and Monsters" was made. Between then and now, D&D was bought by Wizards of the Coast, a subdivision of Hasbro. But now, TSR is back, with new games and a plan for the future. And E. G...

Let's talk politics. Wait. We don't do that here, do we? Or might there be a way to observe and analyze political topics and stay within our framework of focusing only on genre? Maybe. There's an idea to discuss. And we very much would like your input.

Today: Mr. Boss needs a break. While we could follow the obsessive social media trend and talk about Batman's sexual proclivities (we won't), and while we could discuss the attack on Tolkien's legacy (maybe soon), what we really need to do is take a break and talk about something less controversial. Let's talk about waffles. Tip Jar: https://www.paypal.me/scifi4me SubscribeStar: http://www.subscri...

Over the weekend, some people online expressed some concerns about the upcoming Indiana Jones movie. And over the course of the next 24 hours, director James Mangold took it upon himself to push back with insults, snark, and a general meltdown against people who are feeling a little trepidation about this film. And then... he tried to be reasonable.  Salty Nerd Podcast  -- https://www.yo...

Reboots. Remakes. Re-imaginings. Whatever you call it, it's a change. Sometimes it's a change for the better, but not very often. Is it a generational thing that we have to keep re-making past stories in our own image? What happens when you remake a thing to unironically comment on the thing, and no one gets the joke?

Harrison Ford is back! The first photos have hit the web as Indiana Jones returns for a new adventure, and speculation has been coming in fits and starts. There's some excitement about this film, and there's a lot of trepidation. Can Ford pull it off at 78? Is Kathleen Kennedy's involvement a risk?

We're back! And proud of it! Speaking of pride, we're proud of the work we do here, and we're proud to have each and every one of your in our audience. Thank you for being here. This kind of appreciation seems to come as a challenge to some, like Heavy Metal and Neil Gaiman. There's been plenty of discussion over their online behavior over the last week, so OF COURSE we're going to talk about it....

As we noted earlier, this week's schedule is in flux. Today we're taking a look at the *actual* STAR WARS Day, which also happens to be Towel Day -- remember, the answer is always 42. Also: John Cena is groveling over his mention of Taiwan as a country. Which it is... but the CCP doesn't want you to hear that from Hollywood.
