Customer Reviews
Ham
Takes the ham in being ridiculous. A verbal nod to mystery science theatre and all that goes with it.
Scintillating Sci-Fi
An entertaining Sci-fi intergalactic audio drama adventure.
Join, Beatrix , Bob, Bartholomew, Al & cameos by special guest stars - the Moips as they circumnavigate the daily obstacles that befall them. This crew have been tasked with a terraforming mission on a lifeless planet.
The talented performers bring each character, their foibles & métier vividly to life. All of whom you will be immediately captivated by.
There is the surprising Bob who is filled with compassion & anxiety , the initially irascible Bartholomew & Al the egomaniacal AI .
Of particular note is Beatrix whose enthusiasm is infectious as she shares an optimistic perspective no matter how dire the situation. Her goal is to have everyone get along whilst bringing much needed joy.
Kristi Boulton is outstanding manifesting her entire spectrum of colour & humour.
Beatrix is like a kindred spirit. I too would naively invite unknown alien life forms aboard the ship and in my excitement of meeting new individuals totally forget to apply normal safety protocols.
Fable & Folly Productions have produced a work of excellence. As each layer is peeled back we uncover more details & their secrets. Silly hysterical moments are threaded throughout each episode
