18 - "The Last Day" with Dulcé Sloan Better Than Life: A Red Dwarf Podcast
-
- コメディ
That’s right. Dulcé Sloan off The Daily Show is a lifelong Red Dwarf fan! She and her family have loved the show since she was a kid, when it first aired in the USA on PBS. Dulcé has great insights all over the place - from why the US remake was doomed to fail, to the genius of Backwards. Which member of the crew did she have a crush on? Is continuity even a thing in Red Dwarf? And is Robert Llewellyn really doing a Canadian accent? We tackle it all.
Unpicking series 3 episode 6, The Last Day, Dulcé shows us how it’s done…Planned obsolescence. Master-servant dynamics. Crises of faith. What to do when you’ve got a day left to live. And the implied bleak history of mechanoid rebellion…Turns out this ep is incredibly rich in thematic content! Listen to the end for a very dark graphic novel idea, free to any artistic listener who’s unconcerned about copyright infringement.
Smoke us a kipper, we’ll be back soon with series 4.
SO WHAT IS IT?
Better Than Life is the pod where comedians talk Red Dwarf, the greatest sci-fi sitcom, one episode at a time. With a fresh guest every ep, we’re your perfect podcast companion for a first watch or a rewatch. Be warned: spoilers!
Hosted by Fergus (huge fan) and John (lapsed fan).
Production, artwork and insights by Alex Watson.
FANCY SOME LINKS?
