[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. It's been nearly a year since the sci-fi genre has been reviewed on The Broken Shelf, so Danny and Allen decide to rectify that mistake. As always, of course, they couldn't pick a subject without a little influence from film media because the source for today's episode will also explore the fantastic sci-fi film 'Arrival'. Seeking the original, Allen takes point in the review debating which media did better in certain areas, as well as why the story better served the plot as a novelle and not a full length novel. Using a new style - one they've been testing out here and there - they dissect the novel into positives and negatives, and overall get to explore their two fields of study. And what of their thoughts on the theme of the novella and movie? That's all contained inside this fun, entertaining podcast! Tune in every Tuesday for a new episode of The Broken Shelf. ~Follow all the Legionaries on Twitter~ Danny: twitter.com/legionsarchive The Tsar: twitter.com/TsarAlexander6 Allen: twitter.com/blkydpease Spangar: twitter.com/LSFspangar ~Credits~ Original Sound Cloud image provided by Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Others-Chiang-ebook/dp/B0048EKOP0 Original Cover Art owned by Ted Chiang, and Random House LLC The Broken Shelf symbol created and published by Danny Archive.
