In this episode of TFTB Film Club we look at Ridley Scott’s, Blade Runner! It’s not all fun and games though, it’s a dark film and so was our discussion. There is also a controversial opinion on Harrison Ford… We also name our next film of the month and apparently we are still happily stuck in the 80s. Alright, let's make our way over to the bridge.

Please let us know if there is a book you want us to review or an author you want us to have on the podcast!

In this episode we cover our book of the month: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, by Claire North. This book was was a critically acclaimed success, and has become a word of mouth bestseller. Be sure to add it to your Summer reading list. We also look at a study that searched for travellers from the future. So… pretty typical TFTB fun on this one, we hope you enjoy!

Alright, let's make our way over to the bridge!

Back on the bridge this week with hope, sunshine, and rainbows, are fan favourites; Peter Watts and Richard K. Morgan. In Part Two of our conversation we are informed of our pending doom in the most delightful manner.

Either way, here are two sci-fi authors who should be in the same room together more often. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Here at TFTB, we find ourselves talking about Science Fiction movies almost as much as we talk about Science Fiction books. So as a companion to our Book Club episodes, we are going to start a Film Club. For our first discussion, we've decided to talk about a classic; Alien (1979).

For future episodes, we're going to make it more of a challenge, and our movie selections will have to be chosen in alphabetical order. So our next film choice will start with a B, and we're betting that you can guess. We hope you enjoy this new format!

Please let us know if there is a book you want us to bring to the book club or a film that you want us to review on the podcast!

Joining us on the bridge this week are fan favourites; Peter Watts and Richard K. Morgan. It’s not everyday that you get this kind of twofer, and this conversation goes there. So much so, that we had to break it into two parts. So lots of doubles happening here.

Either way, here are two sci-fi authors who should be in the same room together more often. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Keep an eye out for part 2 in a couple of weeks.

In this episode, we sit down with Fantasy author, R.R. Virdi. We discuss The First Binding, along with his latest work. We get into comparative fiction and mythology through a South Asian lens. This takes us into language and storytelling with a South Asian frame narrative. We also discuss his latest foray into Science Fiction and the Space Opera, Shepherd of Light.

In this episode, we discuss The Three Body Problem, by Liu Cixin, and things get grim. In Science Fiction - Science Fact we also look at alien life, the Ferme paradox, and the notion of evolutionary filters that limit the longevity of civilizations - which is why they aren't calling. A new study applies all of this to Artificial Intelligence, and it's worth a listen. We'll set aliens and doom aside to chat about what we've been up to in books, film, and even some travel. We also pick our next book of the month; spoiler - it's a nice departure for us.

In this episode, we chat with Science Fiction literary icon, Robert Silverberg. Named to the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 1999, Robert has won multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards. A list of his writing credits would be too long to list here, but chances are excellent that you've read his work in some form. As an alumnus of the Golden Science Fiction era, he has incredible stories to share, and we got to scratch the surface during his visit to The Bridge.
