This week, in "Naked Came the Robot", by Barry B. Longyear:  A botched back-alley transition leaves Victor’s mind in the chassis of a sexbot decommissioned for accidentally killing users. Now she must fight for love against a dying planet, a crumbling society, and the unpredictable destructive strength of her synthetic muscles. K tells a story about Napoleon's cutlery. Khaki's back on his bullshit: costumes. With thanks to Friend-of-the-Library Old Pines for the synopsis of this week's book.

Watch out for meteor showers! This week on episode 102, Luke & James are tackling Barry B. Longyear’s Enemy Mine and Wolfgang Petersen’s adaptation at the same time. From the story’s still-relevant allegories to the mainline of 80s Sci-Fi nostalgia, this cult-classic starring Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr. gives them plenty to discuss. Questions include: Was the film ahead of its time? When did PG-13 become an official rating? What does the various designs of aliens in Sci-Fi films mean? Does the book or film depict asexual reproduction better? Which has the better final act? And who should watch this film or read this book?
