TFTB Film Club: Interstellar (2014)12 Nov 202500:40:29

On this episode of TFTB Film club we’re talking all things Interstellar. Directed by Christopher Nolan and boasting an all star cast back in 2014. This is one of those films that was both extremely ambitious, and successful, which is why people are still talking about it. People are also still talking about what Matt Damon did. 

Matt Damon!

TFTB Extra : Fantasy Special (AKA: The Swords and Dragons episode)06 Apr 202200:43:59

The week it's the Fantasy special you were secretly hoping for. We talk about our favorite fantasy novels and series. We explore sub-genres and the strong ties that Fantasy has to Sci-fi. In Sci-fi, the "fast than light drive" has a major impact on the story, and so too does the type of magic used in a Fantasy novel. So rest assured - we'll be talking wizards.

TFTB Book Club: Semiosis by Sue Burke24 Mar 202200:37:55

In  this episode, we review Semiosis by Sue Burke.  Sue has written a fascinating duology that features a sentient plant on a far-flung planet who must contend with human colonists. On Science Fiction - Science Fact we wonder about the ISS falling from the sky.  On Trivia, we find another reason to say 'Lagrange point' (it's fun, admit it), and a 2000-year-old laptop lands one of our hosts a prize from your childhood.

TFTB Book Club: Ancestral Night by Elizabeth Bear05 Jan 202200:42:02

On this episode of TFTB, we review Ancestral Night by acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author Elizabeth BearAncestral Night is a Space Opera in the new vein that covers psychology,  politics, diversity, artificial intelligence, and still manages to include space pirates.

It's quite a ride and we have plenty to talk about. In 'Science-Fiction, Science-Fact' we consider the potential of a Starbucks on the moon and a new barfy way to reach orbit. We also have some trivia and as always, a good time.

TFTB Book Club: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin30 Apr 202500:42:53

On this episode of TFTB we discuss The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin.  First published in 1969 this book was far ahead of its time, and still stands up as excellent progressive science fiction. If you haven’t had the pleasure of enjoying this one, we highly recommend that you add it to your summer reading list. As usual we have a cool Science Fiction-Science Fact for you, and we’ll also chat a bit about what else we’ve been reading and watching. Come join us on The Bridge!

Please let us know if there is a book that you want us to review on the podcast! You can always reach us on our social media links below or email us at talesfromthebridgepodcast@gmail.com.

TFTB Film Club: Edge of Tomorrow (2014)16 Apr 202500:38:31

On this episode of TFTB Film Club, our film nerds revisit the 2014 Sci-fi hit, Edge of Tomorrow. It's a great film, and there has long been talk of a sequel. Fingers crossed, Tom takes a break from completing impossible missions long enough to deliver on a long-anticipated part two. We'd love to see more Live, Die, Repeat on the big screen.

Please let us know if there is a film that you want us to review on the podcast! You can always reach us on our social media links below or email us at talesfromthebridgepodcast@gmail.com.

TFTB Book Club: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman02 Apr 202500:38:44

On this episode of TFTB, things take a turn for the weird. Our book of the month was the first instalment of the perfectly ridiculous (and kind of fun), Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. If you have a gamer teen that you want to read a GD book, this might be the way. On Science Fiction, Science Fact, we have a look at the surprising amount of moon missions that are in the works - it’s more than you think. We’ll also let you in on what else we’re reading, along with the usual shenanigans.

Please let us know if there is a book that you want us to review on the podcast! You can always reach us on our social media links below or email us at talesfromthebridgepodcast@gmail.com.
