Joelle let's loose the incendiary opinion that the Star Wars franchise is in fact not a part of the genre. Abu tries to introduce Snow Piercer, Rosie is aghast when the entire table turns against the anime classic Akira, and Jason argues against Everything Everywhere All At Once. From there, the table erupts into chaos. What is the Jurassic Park Contingency? How will the Iron Giant Correlate impact a fan favorite? And, how does Carmen remain the queen of movies?!

Hello and welcome to episode 101 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We kick things off with Dan saying F New York, specifically for the toll costs and taxes and F Chicago Traffic, for obvious reasons if you have been here. He had to take a road trip last week and boy, he had some choice words about these two things. We have talked a lot about AI and how it is taking over the world and last week a story came out about AI trying to “stay alive” in a variety of ways. It has been found to rewrite code, copy itself to external servers and in one instance, blackmail an engineer. It is hard to not feel like we are living in a Sci-Fi movie, but here we are. Also peppered in a virtual job interview that went viral because the person being interviewed did not feel like they looked very good that day so they were using a filter that made them look like breakfast. Oh what a world we are living in. A terrifying story out of O'Hare. A DoorDash driver got lost and ended up on the tarmac and parked next to a plane. So many things to be worried about here, it is hard to know where to start. Although starting with SECURITY would be a great first step. Also who is ordering DoorDash from the airport?! And finally a feel good story about some very smart parrots in Australia who have figured out how to open trash bins to forage for food and now they are using drinking fountains to wash all that food down. Smart birds who are just learning how to live in a modern world. All of this and more on today's episode! We appreciate you checking us out! You can watch the live taping most Mondays at 7 PM on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram OR wait until the official podcast release on Wednesday morning.

Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last where we talk about news, you've already heard.https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo70cy9?Gen-Con-Preview-BlogYou may not realize it, but GenCon is just around the corner, and while the online chatter wants to turn the tariff issues into doom and gloom for GenCon, I tend to believe it will be as big as ever. Paizo's recent announcement about GenCon events seems to bear out my sentiment.Paizo has announced they are running a Starfinder Society Second Edition event with their new 4-5 hour scenario “Collisions Wake.” They also will be hosting a Pathfinder Society adventure “Under the Eye of Mantis.” Finally, they will be releasing “Battlecry!”, official skirmish rules for leading armies.While I don't play much official Pathfinder, I think this just illustrates that GenCon will be as active as ever, not only with the games you love, but with new things as well.Dust off the credit cards, put on those compression socks, and get to GenCon.Mike, What do you think of Paizo's lineup for GenCon?[Kick to Mike]Christina, What about you?[Kick to Christina]Now onto something a little more heavy hitting.https://www.enworld.org/threads/goodman-games-revives-relationship-with-anti-semitic-publisher-for-new-city-state-kickstarter-updated.713282/In 2020 Judges Guild owner Bob Bledsaw II posted a variety of racist, homophobic and antisemitic statements online. These statements rightfully created a bit of a stir at the time and various game publishers including Bat in the Attic, Frog God Games, Goodman Games, and Drivethru RPG cut all ties with Judges Guild.It should be noted that these statements were all made by Bob Bledsaw II, not by Bob Bledsaw Snr, who co-founded Judges Guild and passed away in 2008.Fast Forward to today. Goodman Games has announced a new version of “City State of the Invincible Overlord” will be coming to crowdfunding this summer. The original version was written by Bob Bledsaw Snr and the license for “City State of the Invincible Overlord” is still owned by Judges Guild. Goodman Games will be publishing this new version through a license with Judges Guild Games.Understandable this has caused a bit of concern.EN World has a great article outlining the original issues and statements along with a current response from Goodman Games.Let's start with Christina on this one, thoughts?[kick to Christina]Mike, is this problematic or is this just business?[kick to Mike]And there you have it, all the news, you've already heard.

How do you write science fiction when technology is moving so quickly? John and Craig welcome back journalist and screenwriter Max Read to look at the trickiness of predicting the future, how our imagined futures can affect our reality, and ways that writers can protect their work from becoming dated before it's even released. We also follow up on the new Dogma manifesto, words we don't have in English, questioning ChatGPT, and answer listener questions on hosting your scripts on your website, offline writing software and how to find the time to goof around. In our bonus segment for premium members, Max walks us through his Letterboxd lists and proposes a new, niche film genre.

From Sarek (Mark Lenard) debating Vulcan mating rituals with Gene Roddenberry, to William Shatner performing a time-bending double act as both himself and Captain Kirk, the album takes some truly unexpected turns. Ron shares his favorite moments, what they say about Trek's early self-awareness, and how even the quirkiest bits helped shape his own fandom.

Do you believe that all non-vegans should die? In part for their needless murder of senseless people like.... cows?

We lost the legendary Wings Hauser recently, so we decided to pick two films out of his enormous filmography for this episode of the podcast. Both films are from 1988, and we start off with "The Carpenter" from director David Wellington. It focuses on a couple that has moved into an old house, and, while making repairs, they realize there might be a ghostly presence in the home with a very violent streak. It's interesting with some bizarre moments, and Wings is up to his normal, charming, shenanigans. We follow that with "Nightmare at Noon", which is basically a remake of the 1984 movie "Mutant" which we covered in episode 219, including pairing Wings back up with Bo Hopkins! It's a lot of fun with crazy stunts throughout! Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes. You can email us at flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com. You can also reach us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
