Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi

From SDCC, a look back at season one with Robert Carlyle, David Blue, Brian J Smith, Alaina Huffman and more.

I disccused this film with director Paul Nicoletos and his star Tedi Nicoletos as they tried to get financing. The film met it's goal and a short was produced.

In this episode, Tony sits down with award‑winning author, activist, and digital rights advocate Cory Doctorow to explore his acclaimed story collection Radicalized — four near‑future novellas that channel our deepest cultural anxieties into sharp, human‑centered speculative fiction.

Doctorow’s work has always lived at the crossroads of technology, power, and personal agency, and Radicalized distills those themes into four unforgettable narratives:

• “Unauthorized Bread” — a tale of immigrant resilience in a world where even your toaster is locked behind DRM.

• “Model Minority” — a superhero story that interrogates complicity, policing, and the myth of the “good immigrant.”

• “Radicalized” — a darkly empathetic look at healthcare injustice and the online communities that form around desperation.

• “The Masque of the Red Death” — a survivalist fantasy turned moral reckoning.

In the Long Walk, Director Mattie Do talks about her film that is difficult to put in one box alone. Is it science fiction, fantasy, are there horror elements ? Lots of layers to explore in this interesting film. Not the Stephen King adaptation.

Actor talked to me about a new way for fans to get autographs and we chat Q's getting older on Star Trek Picard, and how Q original plan didn't work for the actor.

 

In this episode, Tony sits down with the extraordinary Elizabeth Grullon, the actor behind one of the most unforgettable villains in modern Star Wars storytelling: Trilla Suduri, the Second Sister from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Elizabeth doesn’t just talk about the role—she becomes it. At Tony’s request, she slips back into the chilling, razor‑sharp voice of the Second Sister, giving listeners a rare chance to hear that iconic performance live.

But this conversation goes far deeper than a single character.

Elizabeth opens up about the emotional and psychological layers she brought to Trilla—the trauma, the discipline, the tragedy—and how she approached playing a villain whose pain is as compelling as her power. She and Tony explore the craft of voice acting, the physicality behind vocal performance, and the responsibility of shaping a character who has become beloved across the Star Wars fandom.

🎙️ A deep‑freeze dive into the classic that birthed The Thing.

In this episode, we crack open the ice around one of science fiction and horror’s most influential stories: John W. Campbell’s 1938 novella Who Goes There?—the chilling foundation for The Thing from Another World (1951), John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), and the 2011 prequel.

Joining us is Anthony Rotolo, founder of Rocket Ride Books and producer of the acclaimed Who Goes There audiobook. Together, we revisit the making of that audio production, explore the enduring terror of Campbell’s Antarctic nightmare, and reflect on why this story continues to mutate and survive across generations of genre fans.

This episode also features select clips from the audiobook, offering listeners a taste of the isolation, paranoia, and creeping dread that define the tale.
