SciFi4Me: The H2O Podcast

It's another milestone! And this time, it's a double achievement that we celebrate tonight. Not only is it our 250th episode, but it's also the week of the 8th anniversary of the show! And what better time for a reboot of a previous episode? Join us as we re-visit our very first discussion about how Santa is a Time Lord. Plus: we make some resolutions and answer your questions, should you have any...

It's the talk of Hollywood and the social media circuit: the death of the movie theaters at the hands of Warner Bros. and parent company AT&T. But is it? What are the ramifications of the decision to release an entire year's worth of films in both theaters and on HBO Max?

We've seen a few of them: the dream cast, the "who would you cast if" lists. And we've seen the stories about actors and actresses being replaced -- sometimes for the better, sometimes not. And then there are those times when someone just does not fit the part at all. So let's discuss.

Alan Moore is famous for having walked away from comics, despite being a lifelong fan of the medium. Did he just lose his mind, or was there something more to his retirement from comics? Now, in a new interview with Deadline, Moore talks about his new project, The Show, and how he feels superhero movies have blighted comic books -- which shouldn't be aimed at adults. Is he right? https://deadline....

This week, we turn our attention to remakes. And specifically, with the impending release of the new DUNE, we look at remakes that improve on the original. It doesn't happen every single time, but now and again the remakes get it right more than the first version. Or the second. Or the third...

PROGRAMMING NOTE: No Show August 31 Big changes in the works over at DC Comics, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros., WarnerMedia, and HBO Max. That's a mouthful, but we have some idea of what's coming after watching the DC FanDome event. But what about all of those people that got fired? How will the "Bloodbath" affect things?

Reboot after reboot. And when we hear about a new one, there's always the interview where the people in charge claim to be fans. But are they? And do they really need to be fans? Are there times when being a fan might actually work against your good intentions?

Spinning out of an earlier episode, tonight we take a look at the process of adapting a work for another medium. How difficult is it, really? Going from page to screen, or vice versa...is it really all that much of a challenge to get it right?

Robin. Watson. Speedy. Spock. Jack Burton. There are a lot of great sidekicks in genre, and you can even go back far enough to find early examples in "The Last of the Mohicans". Sometimes they're the audience proxy, and sometimes they're the one that must be put into peril for the hero to be the hero.
