    Murderbot (S1:E7-10) “We can rank about it.”

    We discuss the final four episodes of Season One of Murderbot, then discuss the season as a whole, and then have a long post-script about what project to undertake after we cover one more robot story. (Hint: both possibilities begin with the letter S.)

    Murderbot (S1:E3-6) “I wanted elliptical travel!”

    Our continuing coverage of Murderbot, er, continues. We spend a bit of time discussing the pacing of the series. What do you think?

    Murderbot (S1:E1-2)

    We’re doing a Murderbot series! We reacted to the trailer, and now we’re covering the first two episodes. We’ll do at least two more of these to cover the full season.

    Murderbot Trailer discussion/reaction

    We recorded some quick thoughts that ironically take a while to get to about the Murderbot trailer and what we hope to see in the series. Happy May the Fourth! Murderbot is a droid, so it’s clearly canon.

    TMTYR: The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown (feat. Peter Kuskie)

    We got to go see The Wild Robot at our local SF Film Festival, so we figured it was high time we covered this terrific movie, and we were joined by Colin’s elder son, Peter. Rankings: Peter/Colin/James/Seth: Movie/Book

    Interview with Edward Ashton, author of Mickey7

    We had a great conversation with Ed Ashton about his background in engineering and medical research, how he finds the time to write a novel every year, and how Mickey7 and Mickey-17 came to be. Edward’s website: https://www.edwardashton.com/

    Plus or Minus 10 (Mickey7/Mickey-17)

    This time the guys look at Mickey7, by Edward Ashton, and its new adaptation, Mickey-17. We pretty much go full spoilers for everything, so be warned. The book takes a couple of days to read, and the movie will be on streaming soon. Rankings!: Colin: book/movie James: book/movie Seth: book/movie
