Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: “Knock” by Fredrik Brown starts with a short-short story based on the following text of Thomas Bailey Aldrich: ***“Imagine all human beings swept off the face of the earth, excepting one man. Imagine this man in some vast city, New York or London. Imagine him on the third or fourth day of his solitude sitting in a house and hearing a ring at the door-bell!”*** Fredric Brown condensed this text to read "a sweet little horror story that is only two sentences long". Brown's short story then goes on to elaborate on those two sentences and builds a more complete plot around them. “Knock” was originally published in the December 1948 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories. There have been three different radio adaptations (Dimension X, X Minus One and the Sci Fi Channel's Seeing Ear Theatre). And now it gets another adaptation – in this episode.

Transcript:Da: I en verden der engang var fyldt med liv og lyde, herskede der nu stilhed og ruiner.En: In a world that was once filled with life and sounds, there now ruled silence and ruins.Da: Vågnede foråret stille til live mens solens lys trængte sig vej gennem de mørke skyer.En: Spring quietly came to life as the sunlight pushed its way through the dark clouds.Da: Desværre var ikke alt nyttigt.En: Unfortunately, not everything was useful.Da: Ruinerne strakte sig over den forladte by, med visne blomster, der nænnede at blomstre mellem sprækkerne i asfalten.En: The ruins stretched across the abandoned city, with wilted flowers daring to bloom between the cracks in the asphalt.Da: En gammel skole lyste svagt op ved kanten af byen.En: An old school faintly lit up on the edge of the city.Da: Her begyndte Kasper sin daglige rute, men denne gang, med en plan i tankerne.En: Here, Kasper began his daily routine, but this time, with a plan in mind.Da: Han gabte ved synet af biblioteket, skjult bag slyngplanterne.En: He yawned at the sight of the library, hidden behind the climbing plants.Da: Skolen lignede et tilflugtssted fra en glemt tid.En: The school looked like a refuge from a forgotten time.Da: Med sin lillebror Mikkel ved sin side, gik de fast fremad.En: With his little brother Mikkel by his side, they moved steadily forward.Da: Verden udenfor var farlig, men indenfor de mure lå et håb om en ny begyndelse.En: The world outside was dangerous, but within those walls lay a hope for a new beginning.Da: Freja, den livlige og evigt optimistiske leder, havde allerede fundet vej derhen.En: Freja, the lively and ever-optimistic leader, had already found her way there.Da: "Godt at se jer!"En: "Good to see you!"Da: råbte hun over de knirkende gulvbrædder.En: she shouted over the creaking floorboards.Da: Hendes blå øjne glimtede med energi.En: Her blue eyes sparkled with energy.Da: Hun havde noget i ærmet, noget der kunne skabe en lille ø af normalitet i det kaos, der omgav dem.En: She had something up her sleeve, something that could create a small island of normality in the chaos surrounding them.Da: "Vi starter en skole her," sagde Kasper bestemt og kiggede mod Mikkel, der allerede sad og kiggede i en fortryllende bog om dyrenes verden.En: "We're starting a school here," Kasper said firmly, looking at Mikkel, who was already sitting and looking in an enchanting book about the animal world.Da: Freja nikkede ivrigt igen, klar til at hjælpe.En: Freja eagerly nodded again, ready to help.Da: "Vi kan bruge bøgerne her.En: "We can use the books here.Da: Og se, der er endda tavler!"En: And look, there are even chalkboards!"Da: tilføjede Freja, mens hun pegede mod de støvede, gamle skiferplader.En: added Freja, as she pointed to the dusty old slate boards.Da: Men idyllen blev hurtigt truet.En: But the idyll was quickly threatened.Da: En skælven gik gennem bygningen, og et par vinduer klirrede.En: A tremor went through the building, and a few windows rattled.Da: Udenfor, lød der råb og tumult.En: Outside, there were shouts and upheaval.Da: En gruppe raiders nærmede sig, ivrige efter at stjæle, hvad de kunne finde.En: A group of raiders approached, eager to steal whatever they could find.Da: Kasper vidste, han skulle handle hurtigt.En: Kasper knew he had to act quickly.Da: Freja greb straks en jernstang, mens Kasper sikrede dørene.En: Freja immediately grabbed an iron rod while Kasper secured the doors.Da: Mikkel blev skjult i et gammelt garderobeskab.En: Mikkel was hidden in an old wardrobe.Da: Raiderne bragede mod dørene, men hverken Kasper eller Freja bøjede sig for frygten.En: The raiders pounded against the doors, but neither Kasper nor Freja yielded to fear.Da: I stedet vinkede de til deres medborgere i skjul, der svarede med at fremkomme fra deres gemmesteder og sammen møde truslen.En: Instead, they gestured to their fellow citizens in hiding, who responded by emerging from their hiding places to confront the threat together.Da: De arbejdede i fællesskab, forsvarede skolen og hinanden.En: They worked collectively, defending the school and one another.Da: Med muskelkraft og mod tvang de raiderne til retræte.En: With muscle and courage, they forced the raiders to retreat.Da: Kasper, der nu indså vigtigheden af samarbejde, indså også betydningen af at stole på andre.En: Kasper, now realizing the importance of cooperation, also understood the significance of trusting others.Da: Sammen kunne de genopbygge noget meningsfuldt i en verden, hvor alt andet syntes tabt.En: Together, they could rebuild something meaningful in a world where everything else seemed lost.Da: Da truslen var forsvundet, samledes de alle omkring den lille skole, hvor døre og vinduer blev repareret, bøger blev delt, og inspirerende læring fandt sted igen.En: When the threat had disappeared, they all gathered around the small school, where doors and windows were repaired, books were shared, and inspiring learning took place once again.Da: Mikkel smilede op til sin bror.En: Mikkel smiled up at his brother.Da: "Skal vi lære om påsken nu?"En: "Shall we learn about påsken now?"Da: spurgte han ivrigt.En: he asked eagerly.Da: Kasper nikkede varmt, mens Freja fandt en bog om traditionerne omkring helligdagen.En: Kasper nodded warmly, while Freja found a book about the traditions surrounding the holiday.Da: Den lille skole blev et lys i mørket, et fristed for dem, der havde brug for det.En: The little school became a light in the darkness, a sanctuary for those who needed it.Da: Og for Kasper og Freja blev det symbolet på noget uundgåeligt løfterigt – en ny begyndelse i forårssolen.En: And for Kasper and Freja, it became the symbol of something inevitably promising—a new beginning in the spring sunshine.

This episode begins with a reflection on this podcast project reaching its 50th episode. I share some additional background and future plans, including some of the symbolism behind the WAI logo. This episode introduces some ideas from the article, Indigeneity as a Post-Apocalyptic Genealogical Metaphor, which explores the metaphysics of indigeneity - Indigenous metaphysics through a global Indigenous consciousness. In conclusion, a diverse range of Indigenous experiences are presented in the constellation of Indigeneities identified as Elder/Local, Continental/Regional, Diasporic, Creole, Born-Again, Global/Trans-Indigenous, which are described in the artice, A Wīnak Perspective on Cosmovisíon Maya and Eco-Justice Education. Terms: Yamanik (Green Stone/Jade in K'iche'-Maya), Hoa/Soa (Partner/Companion – Pair in lea faka-Tonga and gagana Sāmoa).

On this week's episode of Movie of the Week, Daddy and Don Lope de Hog, review the cyberpunk cult classic, Hardware. This 1990 film stars Dylan McDermott and is a cross of several genres and films. In an America ravaged by atomic warfare, nomads spend their days scavenging for scrap in a blasted landscape. That's how ex-soldier Moses Baxter (Dylan McDermott) comes into possession of some spare android parts.

Transcript:Da: I sneen dækkede landskab lå øde bygninger som tavse vagter over en verden i forfald.En: In the snow-covered landscape lay deserted buildings like silent sentinels over a world in decay.Da: Soren trak sin jakke tættere om sig, mens han gik ved siden af Lea.En: Soren pulled his jacket closer around himself as he walked beside Lea.Da: Hendes optimisme var som et varmt bål, der lyste op i de dystre omgivelser.En: Her optimism was like a warm fire, lighting up the bleak surroundings.Da: "Vi finder noget, Soren," sagde Lea med et lille smil, der smeltede lidt af hans frygt.En: "We'll find something, Soren," said Lea with a small smile that melted away some of his fear.Da: Hun bar deres lille rygsæk, fyldt med farveløse minder om en verden før.En: She carried their little backpack, filled with colorless memories of a world before.Da: Det meste af indholdet bestod af skrald fra ruinerne og enkelte dåser, der havde undsluppet plyndring.En: Most of its contents consisted of trash from the ruins and a few cans that had escaped looting.Da: De nærmede sig markedet, et sted hvor håb og desperation mødtes.En: They approached the market, a place where hope and desperation met.Da: Her kontrollerede Asger, en skarp, beregnende mand med et dovent smil og en sult i øjnene, handlen.En: Here controlled Asger, a sharp, calculating man with a lazy smile and hunger in his eyes, the trading.Da: Hans bod stod midt blandt de andre, garanteret af hans status som den nødvendige onde.En: His stall stood amidst the others, guaranteed by his status as the necessary evil.Da: "Hvad vil I have?"En: "What do you want?"Da: spurgte Asger skarpt, mens han så på dem bag sin bod.En: asked Asger sharply, as he looked at them from behind his stall.Da: Hylderne var fyldt med små rationer, men det de virkelig manglede var det dyrebare våde: mad og medicin, de mest værdifulde goder i denne kolde verden.En: The shelves were filled with small rations, but what they really lacked were the precious essentials: food and medicine, the most valuable goods in this cold world.Da: Soren trådte frem, tvang sig til at holde blikket fastlåst med Asgers.En: Soren stepped forward, forced himself to keep eye contact with Asger.Da: "Vi har brug for mad og medicin," svarede han og følte Leas hånd forsigtigt røre hans albue, en stille støtte.En: "We need food and medicine," he replied, feeling Lea's hand gently touch his elbow, a silent support.Da: Asger grinte kort og koldt.En: Asger laughed shortly and coldly.Da: "Det koster," advarede han og sendte et undersøgende blik mod deres magre samling.En: "It costs," he warned, sending a scrutinizing gaze toward their meager collection.Da: Soren vidste, at Asgers pris var høj, alt for høj.En: Soren knew that Asger's price was high, too high.Da: Han tænkte på Plan B – at risikere en tur til de farlige zoner, men vinteren bragte med sig mange risici, og Lea kunne ikke klare mere uforsigtighed.En: He thought about Plan B – risking a trip to the dangerous zones, but winter brought many risks, and Lea could not handle any more recklessness.Da: Et smerteligt øjeblik, valgte han.En: In a painful moment, he made his choice.Da: "Vi tilbyder hvad vi har," sagde Soren og lod Asger inspicere deres bytte: tøj, nogle dåser, et rustent værktøj.En: "We offer what we have," said Soren, letting Asger inspect their trade: clothes, some cans, a rusty tool.Da: Asger betragtede det, med en vurderende mine, før han langsomt nikkede.En: Asger examined it with an assessing expression before he slowly nodded.Da: "Det er en dårlig handel for jer," sagde Asger og strakte sig efter dåerne.En: "It's a bad deal for you," said Asger, reaching for the cans.Da: "Men jeg er i godt humør i dag."En: "But I'm in a good mood today."Da: Lea skuede ind i Sorens øjne, en stille forståelse mellem dem.En: Lea gazed into Soren's eyes, a silent understanding between them.Da: Dette ville tage dem videre, men til hvilken pris?En: This would take them further, but at what cost?Da: "Vi tager det," sagde Soren uden tøven, selvom det rev i hans hjerte at se deres håb om en blomstrende fremtid blive handlet for dagens nødvendigheder.En: "We'll take it," said Soren without hesitation, though it tore at his heart to see their hope for a thriving future traded for the day's necessities.Da: På vej hjem gennem sneen, følte Soren en ny fornemmelse.En: On the way home through the snow, Soren felt a new sensation.Da: Ikke blot en lettelse, men en form for vækst.En: Not just relief, but a form of growth.Da: Han havde tilbudt mere end bare deres sidste ejendele – han havde givet sin frygt vinger.En: He had offered more than just their last possessions – he had given his fear wings.Da: Nu kendte han det indre kompas, der pegede mod overlevelse.En: Now he knew the inner compass that pointed towards survival.Da: Lea så op på ham, hendes barnlige håb stadig intakt.En: Lea looked up at him, her childlike hope still intact.Da: "Vi klarer det, Soren," sagde hun igen, og denne gang nikkede han, trofast og fast.En: "We'll make it, Soren," she said again, and this time he nodded, faithfully and firmly.Da: For første gang følte han, at deres kurs mod både vinteren og fremtiden ikke blot var byrder, men også muligheder.En: For the first time, he felt that their course toward both winter and the future was not just burdens, but also opportunities.

had a bridge to the outside world, a chance to connect the scattered fragments of what was left of the living communities.No: Med solen sakte stigende på en ny morgen, sto Sindre sammen med Astrid og

sleeping giants under the gray sky, while the cold wind whispered secrets among the ruins.Ca: Al mig d'aquest hivern sense fi, Montse, Jordi i Pau caminaven amb cura, sempre atents als sons del perill i als fantasmes del passat.En: In the midst of this endless winter, Montse, Jordi, and Pau walked carefully, always attentive to the sounds of danger and the ghosts of the past.Ca: Estaven junts des de feia molt de temps, compartint lluites i esperances.En: They had been together for a long time, sharing struggles and hopes.Ca: Montse, amb els seus ulls alerta i esperit indomable, liderava el

tireless optimism, brightened even the darkest days.Ca: Pau, normalment entremig, recelava de tot allò desconegut i posava a prova cada decisió que prenien.En: Pau, usually in between, was wary of the unknown and challenged every decision they made.Ca: Fins que un dia, un senyal misteriós trencà la monotonia del seu existir.En: Until one day, a mysterious signal broke the monotony of their existence.Ca: Un llum parpellejant a la distància prometia un refugi segur, un oasi enmig del desert de neu.En: A flickering light in the distance promised a safe refuge, an oasis amidst the snow desert.Ca: Jordi creia que era la seva oportunitat.En: Jordi believed it was their opportunity.Ca: "Hem d'anar-hi," va dir, amb veu plena d'esperança.En: "We must go," he said, his voice filled with

fatal.En: She knew any mistake could be fatal.Ca: Va mirar en direcció al llum, sentint una lluita interna entre la seva responsabilitat cap al grup i el desig d'un futur millor.En: She looked towards the light, feeling an internal struggle between her responsibility to the group and the desire for a better future.Ca: Pau va ser el primer a parlar després del silenci incòmode.En: Pau was the first to speak after the awkward silence.Ca: "És una trampa," va afirmar amb el seu habitual escepticisme.En: "It's a trap," he stated with his usual skepticism.Ca: "Només els insensats es fiarien d'un senyal desconegut.En: "Only fools would trust an unknown signal."Ca: "El debat entre ells va durar hores.En: The debate between them lasted for hours.Ca: Mentre les restes de decoracions de Cap d'Any penjàven encara, com tristes relíquies d'una celebració oblidada, van acordar donar una oportunitat al senyal.En: While the remains of New Year's decorations still hung like sad relics of a forgotten celebration, they agreed to give the signal a chance.Ca: No podien ignorar el possible futur que aquest prometia.En: They couldn't ignore the possible future that it promised.Ca: Van caminar durant dies, trencant el silenci de la neu amb els seus passos.En: They walked for days, breaking the silence of the snow with their steps.Ca: El fred penetrava fins als ossos, però l'esperança els feia continuar.En: The cold penetrated to the bone, but hope kept them going.Ca: Finalment, van arribar al lloc indicat pel senyal.En: Finally, they arrived at the place indicated by the signal.Ca: El que van trobar els va sorprendre.En: What they found surprised them.Ca: Un petit grup de supervivents havia creat una comunitat autosuficient, vivint en harmonia amb el nou món.En: A small group of survivors had created a self-sufficient community, living in harmony with the new world.Ca: Montse observava el seu entorn amb una barreja d'incredulitat i fascinació.En: Montse observed her surroundings with a mixture of disbelief and fascination.Ca: Aquesta gent havia aconseguit allò que ells tant anhelaven: un lloc per reconstruir el futur.En: These people had achieved what they so

somriure sincer.En: The leader of the community welcomed them with a sincere smile.Ca: "Benvinguts," va dir.En: "Welcome," she said.Ca: "Aquí, hem trobat una nova manera de ser.En: "Here, we've found a new way of being."Ca: " Montse va sentir que les seves pors es dissipaven davant la calidesa d'aquelles paraules.En: Montse felt her fears dissipate in the warmth of those words.Ca: Tot i haver trobat allò que semblava impossible, Montse sabia que la decisió era seva.En: Even though they had found what seemed impossible, Montse knew the decision was hers.Ca: Podia quedar-se i començar de nou, o marxar i seguir buscant.En: She could stay and start anew or leave and keep searching.Ca: Però, finalment, va comprendre la importància de l'equilibri.En: But finally, she understood the

faces.Ca: Sabia que havia de confiar.En: She knew she had to trust.Ca: "Ens quedem," va dir amb vehemència, sentint-se finalment en pau.En: "We're staying," she said with determination, finally feeling at peace.Ca: El senyal no només els havia guiat fins allí, sinó que li havia ensenyat que la confiança és el primer pas cap a un nou començament.En: The signal had not only guided them there but also taught her that trust is the first step towards a new beginning.Ca: I en el cor d'aquest hivern interminable, van començar a somiar amb una primavera que tard o d'hora arribaria.En: And in the heart of this endless winter, they began to dream of a spring that would come sooner or later.

Podem trobar més.”En: “One opportunity is all we need. We can find more.”Ca: Amb aquestes paraules, Laia va decidir el següent pas.En: With these words, Laia decided the next step.Ca: Havien sentit rumors d'un assentament a unes hores de camí, potser amb recursos per intercanviar.En: They had heard rumors of a settlement a few hours' walk away, perhaps with resources to trade.Ca: Fora arriscat, però la necessitat l'empenyia a actuar.En: It was risky, but necessity pushed her to act.Ca: Necessitaven més menjar, medicines, roba.En: They needed more food, medicine, clothes.Ca: Així que, carregada amb provisions mínimes, va marxar a la recerca.En: So, laden with minimal provisions, she set out in search.Ca: La seva travessia la va portar a terres desconegudes, on la neu era profunda i els seus passos se sentien com un secret mogut per la intensitat de l'hivern.En: Her journey took her to unknown lands, where the snow was deep and her steps felt like a secret moved by the intensity of winter.Ca: Laia va arribar a l'assentament esperat, un lloc mig amagat entre arbres pelats.En: Laia arrived at the expected settlement, a place half-hidden among bare trees.Ca: Els rostres que la van rebre eren desconfiats, però no hostils.En: The faces that greeted her were wary, but not hostile.Ca: Va ser un moment tenso.En: It was a tense moment.Ca: Laia va parlar amb calma, explicant la situació de la seva petita comunitat.En: Laia spoke calmly, explaining the situation of her small community.Ca: “No sé com sou vosaltres, però estic disposada a negociar”, va oferir amb esperança.En: “I don't know how you are, but I am willing to negotiate,” she offered with hope.Ca: La comunitat va escoltar.En: The community listened.Ca: Però els intercanvis sempre requerien més que paraules; exigien confiança.En: But exchanges always required more than words; they demanded trust.Ca: Finalment, després de llargues discussions, van acordar un intercanvi de recursos que beneficiaria ambdues parts.En: Finally, after long discussions, they agreed to an exchange of resources that would benefit both parties.Ca: Quan Laia va tornar amb els nous subministraments, el sol s'anava ponent darrere el teló blanc de l'hivern.En: When Laia returned with the new supplies, the sun was setting behind the white curtain of winter.Ca: Els seus companys la van rebre amb cara d'alleujament i respecte.En: Her companions received her with faces of relief and respect.Ca: Pau, encara amb reserves, veia claror en la seva determinació.En: Pau, still with reservations, saw clarity in her determination.Ca: Roc, fidel com sempre, sabia que juntes, les seves forces sumarien més.En: Roc, loyal as ever, knew that together, their strengths would add up.Ca: Amb aquesta nova aliança, Laia havia aconseguit més que provisions; havia iniciat la reconstrucció de la confiança en el futur.En: With this new alliance, Laia had achieved more than provisions; she had initiated the rebuilding of trust in the future.Ca: Una nova esperança naixia en aquell indret cobert de neu, mentre l'any nou començava, portant amb ell un nou símbol de perseverança entre les ruïnes.En: A new hope was born in that snow-covered place as the new year began, bringing with it a new symbol of perseverance among the ruins.Ca: Un any diferent estava per començar, un any on tot tornava a ser possible.En: A different year was about to begin, a year where everything became possible again.Ca: Laia, Pau i Roc sabien que no serien fàcils els dies per endavant, però estaven preparats per afrontar-los.En: Laia, Pau, and Roc knew that the days ahead would not be easy, but they were prepared to face them.Ca: Trobar sentit a l'enrunada melodia del món era ara la seva missió compartida.En: Finding meaning in the ruined melody of the world was now their shared mission.Ca: I amb això, el seu petit refugi esdevenia una llar.En: And with that, their small refuge became a home.

Fear is often Man's greatest enemy. But when there is nothing left to lose, there is everything to gain.... And with everything to gain, where is the enemy? The Outer Quiet by Herbert D. Kastle. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If the name Herbert D. Kastle rings a bell, it's likely not because of his science fiction work. Kastle, born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1924, was primarily known as a thriller novelist, with an impressive seventeen titles to his name. Though his contributions to science fiction were modest—three short stories in the 1950s and another three in the 1960s—he gained some recognition for his 1964 sci-fi novel The Reassembled Man.In addition to his literary work, Kastle's 1975 novel Cross-Country was adapted into a feature film in 1983. He also ventured into television, co-writing an episode of Bonanza that aired in 1967.Today's tale of woe in a post-apocalyptic world is on page 94 in the May 1955 publication of If Worlds of Science Fiction, The Outer Quiet by Herbert D. Kastle…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A picture is worth a thousand words—especially if they're Martian words and nobody can understand them.

Taking place within a future apocalyptic wasteland, Denzel Washington plays the titular Eli and he's traversing through this wasteland with an all-important book (hence the title)...along with a super-sharp machete blade, shotgun, killer instincts, and car battery-powered IPod Classic.  Things get hairy once he arrives in the wrong town where the local villain Carnegie (Gary Oldman) wants to take possession of this mysterious book.  And what results is an increasingly violent stand-off between Eli and Carnegie's small army of marauders lead by Redridge played by the late, great Ray Stevenson.  Along the way, Eli takes in a sort-of-protégé Solara played by Mila Kunis.  Directed by Allen and Albert Hughes (Menace II Society, Dead Presidents), this bleak action thriller borrows a LOT from The Mad Max Saga but it has a strong enough cast to keep things interesting....   Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

After Manchester City's first win since October, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell, to discuss such a momentous occasion. From the win over Nottingham Forest, there's a look at Jack Grealish in the middle, Stefan Ortega as the number one, and the value of the non-Erling Haaland players getting amongst the goals again. They also reflect on the 2-0 defeat at Anfield and examine the talking points that came from the game, including Guardiola's six-finger gesture and the make-up of the away end at Liverpool. Nick from the Man City Fans Foodbank Support group updates us on what happened with their planned joint-action with Liverpool fans and the FSA, with the Stop Exploiting Loyalty campaign. Plus, we hear from the former City winger Mark Kennedy, who is discussing his two seasons at Maine Road, taking in all the highs and lows - including the part he played in promotion at Blackburn and the circumstances that led to his departure in 2001. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
