Andrew Heaton and an army of nerds plunge deep, deep into films, books, and TV shows to ask: what's science fiction really about? What is The Twilight Zone really exploring? What are the underlying themes of Star Trek? What is the worldview of Star Wars? Also sometimes Heaton performs comedy on other planets.

A Clockwork Orange’s Secret Extra Chapter

Anthony Burgess wrote his dystopian novel “A Clockwork Orange” in 1962, but two different versions appeared on either side of the Atlantic. The American version stops at chapter twenty, whereas the British version has an extra twenty-first chapter, which totally changes the book. Brian Brushwood joins to discuss.

Faster Than Light Travel in Sci-Fi

The universe is really, really big. Like huge. Really really really huge. Prompting science fiction to come up with workarounds so everyone isn't stuck on the same boring 'ol planet. Dickie Lynch rejoins to discuss.

All The Gods Suck, Except "Circe"

Madeline Miller's "Circe" novelizes the mysterious character from the Odyssey who turns men into swine, but also helps Odysseus get home. The book shows the feckless, narcissistic nature of the Greek pantheon, what is the true nature of self, and the divine patriarchy. Alexandra August and Isabella Reinhardt join to discuss.

"1984" According to Julia

George Orwell died way back in 1950, and his estate has never allowed anyone to canonically (or legally) contribute to the immense worldbuilding of "1984"... Until now. Sandra Newman recently wrote "Julia," the official sequel to 1984, which happens conterminously with its events, but from the perspective of Winston's paramour, Julia. Josh Jennings joins to discuss.

Much Ado About Garak

Star Trek Deep Space Nine's Elim Garak is a simple, unassuming character. But also a spymaster. Why is he so beguiling, and what's his character arc? Andrew Young joins to discuss.

Best sci-fi podcast where the host is speaking from a horse. Slightly disappointed with how few lines the horse has though.
The longest hiatus of my life...

I was afraid this podcast had been canceled as Andrew focused on the political orphanage. I had all but given up hope, and then low and behold one day, 8 months later, I had a new episode in my que and I couldn't contain my excitement! Andrew and crew have brought hours and hours of great scifi content and discussion, and has caused me to expand my horizons about different authors, movies, etc. Can't wait for the new episode each week! Couldn't recommend highly enough! On a side note, I'd love to hear an episode on the trilogy of books Timothy zahn wrote as the original sequels to the first three star wars films! Would love to hear your perspective Andrew on them compared to the new trilogy Disney out out!
You guys are adorable
