Science FictionZardoz and the humiliation of Sean ConneryWhy do we love science fiction movies?
Sometimes it’s because they take us to strange new worlds.
Other times they just have the best effects, the biggest explosions, or the most guns.
But when science fiction movies become legendary it’s often because they tell us something deep, true and meaningful.
Then there are the science fiction movies that step up to bat for legendary status
take a big swing
and miss
and sometimes, as much as we love the hits, we love those misses

Why was the 1970s a classic era for science fiction cinema? I’m guessing many 1970s scifi movies are forgotten, by anyone who wasn’t there to see them. Dark Star. Silent Running. Rollerball!
The 70s produced so much great scifi cinema it’s hard to list it all.
And even when it wasn’t great, it was still interesting. It’s like every scifi movie in that decade was a unique experiment, always different, always new...2024-09-0123 min

If you take a look at his popular YouTube channel (aptly titled “Science Fiction”) you’ll see a wealth of analyses that explore the role the genre plays as a mirror to society, illuminating its potential to be more than mere escapism, but a lens through which we can examine the myths that shape us.This week on The Wonder Dome, Damien...2024-05-151h 06

They never are. But it's not their job to be. The Who actor's singular task is to depict a very particular kind of eccentric Englishness (or, now and again, Scottishness), in an ever so slightly new variety.

They dissect storytelling as a "psycho-technology" that mirrors human cognition and immerses us in collective human experiences. The episode focuses on how Star Trek bridges the gap between traditional, modern, and postmodern narratives, with discussions on metamodernism and its relevance in narrative reconstruction. Vervaeke and Walter delve into Plato's influence on narrative crafting, modern myth-making, and the cultivation of new ways to access the sacred.

Fantasy For Our TimeThe Consolation of FantasyIn this first episode of "Fantasy for our Time," fantasy author Nicholas Kotar explains his premise for the podcast.

So as Kotar...2022-03-1422 minRTS London PodcastSnow Angels: Q&A Introduced by Walter IuzzolinoJoin RTS London for this exclusive in-person Q&A of Walter Presents’ new crime drama Snow Angels (Snöänglar) — a daring character-driven crime drama about motherhood as three women — a mother, a policewoman, and a child nurse’s — fates become intertwined following the disappearance of a 5-week-old infant.Panel: Mette Heeno, Creator and WriterAnna Zackrisson, Co-Creator and DirectorJosefin Asplund, Lead ActressChair:Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen, Professor in Scandinavian and Comparative Literature, UCL School of European Languages, Culture and Society / Founder of the original Nor...2022-03-1137 minTales From The BridgeA Chat with Damien WalterIn this episode, we sit down with writer, storyteller, and podcaster Damien Walter.
