History in Reverse - Father and daughter science fiction podcast

History in Reverse SciFi Podcast

A Science Fiction Father/Daughter podcast. We called it "History in Reverse", because history is about the past and science fiction is about the future, so it's like history but going in reverse direction. Get it? Caroline, the daughter, got hooked on science fiction by Richie, the father, when we both used to watch Star Trek Voyager. Captain Janeway is still Caroline's favorite captain. Starting this podcast is part of a secret plan by Richie to get Caroline to read books by Stanislaw Lem. So, far so good! Write us at history.in.reverse.podcast@gmail.com

    History in Reverse Sci. Fi. Podcast - Ep. 26 - "The Wild Robot"

    Back after a long hiatus, Caroline and Richie discuss the recent children's movie "The Wild Robot". We both liked the movie, as in the themes it reminded us a bit of the book "A Psalm for the Wild Built" - which also featured a robot in nature. "The Wild Robot" was enjoyable, at times funny and heartwarming story - except for few big battle scenes (can't a have movie without those).

    History in Reverse Sci Fi Podcast Ep. 25: "Dune - part 2"

    Caroline and Richie went to see "Dune - Part 2" and in this episode we discuss our impressions. Seems like we liked Part 1 better, although we believe this part is worth seeing as well. Here is a link to the conversation between Steven Colbert and Neil DeGrass Tyson, re: physics of Dune.

    History in Reverse Sci-Fi Podcast Ep. 24: "Andromeda Strain"

    In this episode we discuss the book and the movie "Andromeda Strain", This book was the first novel that Micheal Crichton published under his own name, and it was made into a movie in the early 1970s. This was the first time Caroline saw this movie and she liked it. Both the book and the movie were very suspenseful and quite exciting at times, even when the plot was predictable. The movie shows how scientist deal with researching a new pathogen, which we thought was bit relevant to the pandemic we have just been through.

    History in Reverse Sci-Fi Podcast Ep. 23: "Forbidden Planet"/"The Tempest"

    In this episode of "History in Reverse" we compare the 1956 movie "Forbidden Planet" to the play "The Tempest". "Forbidden Planet" was one of the early big budget science fiction movies. In fact it was nominated for its special effects. "Forbidden Planet" was loosely based on "The Tempest", so that's why we decided to compare the two. We want to mention that Prospero did not kill Sycorax (the mother of Caliban). She was already dead when Prospero and Miranda arrived on the island.

    WARNING: this podcast contains SPOILERS!!! So we spent last 9 weeks watching the HBO series "The Last Of Us". Caroline wanted to see it because she had played game that inspired the show.

    History in Reverse Sci-Fi Podcast Ep. 21: "Avatar: The Way of Water"

    Over the holidays we went to see "Avatar: The Way of Water" and decided to discuss our impressions. We both avoided reading most of the reviews, so that we would not be influenced by other opinions. Basically we liked the movie, but Caroline had a lot criticism of the plot. If you haven't seen the movie, don't worry about any spoilers as the story is very, very predictable. As with first Avatar movie the visuals were very pretty. But, as we noted, the deepest part of the movie was the ocean! As always you can write us at history.in.reverse.podcast@gmail.com and let us know what you think.

    History in Reverse Sci-Fi Podcast Ep. 20: "Psalm for the Wild Built"

    In our 20th episode of "History in Reverse" we are discussing a book by Becky Chambers titled "Psalm for the Wild Built". The book is a story of a monk and robot on a trip in the woods :) We both enjoyed the book a lot and highly recommend it to everyone. It's different from other stuff we discussed, as this book is was only published in 2021, so it is rather new. The main character of the story is Sibling Dex, whose pronoun is "they/them". While Caroline was pretty good sticking to the correct pronoun, Richie kept forgetting and referring to Dex as "he". Clearly Richie needs more practice!

    History in Reverse Sci-Fi Podcast Ep. 19: Time travel stories by Chang and Lem

    Continuing our time-traveling theme, we discuss two time-travel stories: "The Merchant and the Alchemist Gate" by Ted Chiang, and "The Seventh Voyage" from Star Diaries by Stanislaw Lem. Our discussions include many spoilers, so you should read the stories first. They are not that long. Turns out that someone made a short play/movie from Lem's story and published it on YouTube.
