Science Fiction and Fantasy Comment and Reviews
This is the first in a number of short posts I plan to make reviewing some of the podcasts I listen to on science fiction. The Star Wars Stacks is a star wars book review podcast that has been running for about three years. Each month the three hosts, Chris, Jen and Jo review a... Continue Reading →
Future Man crashed onto our screens this month of SyFy with great fanfare and a prodigious amount of advertising. The sci-fi comedy is produced by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg and first aired in the US on Hulu and stars Josh Hutchinson of 'Hunger Games' fame. The story on first glimpse seems to be a...

Final Space premiered on Netflix in February this year with fairly little fanfare. I had seen very little information about this sleeper programme but needed something light to watch and so decided to give the ten 30 minute episodes a chance. The series started out as the brainchild of actor and writer Olan Rogers who... Continue Reading →
