On this episode of TFTB we sit down with Ray Nayler. He is the author of the Locus Award winning The Mountain in the Sea, and he joins us to talk about his latest book, Where the Axe is Buried. A cybernetic novel of political intrigue, revolution, and authoritarianism. Pretty timely themes these days. We also look at how sci-fi can go beyond the science to the social, and become a transformative tool for rethinking the world that we're living in now. You're in for a treat.Find out what Ray is up to here: https://www.raynayler.net/bio-and-biblio.html Please let us know if there is a book that you want us to review on the podcast!

On this episode of TFTB we discuss The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin.  First published in 1969 this book was far ahead of its time, and still stands up as excellent progressive science fiction. If you haven't had the pleasure of enjoying this one, we highly recommend that you add it to your summer reading list. As usual we have a cool Science Fiction-Science Fact for you, and we'll also chat a bit about what else we've been reading and watching.

On this episode of TFTB Film Club, our film nerds revisit the 2014 Sci-fi hit, Edge of Tomorrow. It's a great film, and there has long been talk of a sequel. Fingers crossed, Tom takes a break from completing impossible missions long enough to deliver on a long-anticipated part two. We'd love to see more Live, Die, Repeat on the big screen.Please let us know if there is a film that you want us to review on the podcast!

On this episode of TFTB, things take a turn for the weird. Our book of the month was the first instalment of the perfectly ridiculous (and kind of fun), Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. If you have a gamer teen that you want to read a GD book, this might be the way. On Science Fiction, Science Fact, we have a look at the surprising amount of moon missions that are in the works - it's more than you think. We'll also let you in on what else we're reading, along with the usual shenanigans.Please let us know if there is a book that you want us to review on the podcast!

On this episode of TFTB Film Club, we travel back to 2001 and chat about the cult classic; Donnie Darko. If you need a quick refresher - the film is about a teenager named Donnie Darko, who meets a demonic rabbit named Frank while sleepwalking. Happens all the time. Shenanigan's ensue, and the audience is left to wonder: Was it a dream? An alternate reality? Or a cry for help? We cover it all, and we'd love to get your take.

 In this episode, we talk about Adrian Tchaikovsky's novel, Service Model. This leads us into a bit of a discussion on audiobooks vs reading the old-fashioned way. Kevin talks about how governments are employing science fiction writers as futurists to consider "resilience beyond observed capabilities." It's interesting stuff, and we're sure to talk more about this in... the future. We also talk about what else we're reading and unveil the next book of the month, which may come as a surprise to our regular listeners... Please let us know if there is a book that you want us to review on the podcast!

In this episode of TFTB, we discuss The Mercy of Gods. A new series from James S.A. Corey, the writing duo behind one of the finest space operas ever published, The Expanse. The chances that this new series will also land on your television screen are good. The authors have teamed up with the former showrunners of The Expanse to create a media company called Expanding Universe. Under this shingle, they will be able to seamlessly transition their work from book to screen, and word is... that they already have a major development deal at Amazon MGM. Hopefully, there will be more to come on this! Naturally, we've got a fun Science Fiction-Science Fact that would make Scully and Mulder proud. We'll also reveal our next book of the month, and Kevin has a fun one for you.

On this episode of Film Club, we discuss the a classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon. Released in 1985, the movie actually garnered an Oscar for best visual effects. You could say…. 1985 was a simpler time. When else could a film with octogenarian protagonists carry a sci-fi thriller. It's an under-rated classic, worthy of discussion.

We're excited to have Scott Ryan on the Bridge this week. Scott is the author of The Last Days of Letterman, and best-seller, Moonlighting: An Oral History. We dig into his latest book The Last Decade of Cinema, which argues that the 1990s was the last decade of truly original film. We also get his take on Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek, which you need to hear. We had a lot of fun, and Scott made some points that are pretty tough to argue.

In this episode of TFTB Film Club we look at Ridley Scott's, Blade Runner! It's not all fun and games though, it's a dark film and so was our discussion. There is also a controversial opinion on Harrison Ford… We also name our next film of the month and apparently we are still happily stuck in the 80s.

Here at TFTB, we find ourselves talking about Science Fiction movies almost as much as we talk about Science Fiction books. So as a companion to our Book Club episodes, we are going to start a Film Club. For our first discussion, we've decided to talk about a classic; Alien (1979). For future episodes, we're going to make it more of a challenge, and our movie selections will have to be chosen in alphabetical order. So our next film choice will start with a B, and we're betting that you can guess. We hope you enjoy this new format!

In this episode, we discuss The Three Body Problem, by Liu Cixin, and things get grim. In Science Fiction - Science Fact we also look at alien life, the Ferme paradox, and the notion of evolutionary filters that limit the longevity of civilizations - which is why they aren't calling. A new study applies all of this to Artificial Intelligence, and it's worth a listen. We'll set aliens and doom aside to chat about what we've been up to in books, film, and even some travel. We also pick our next book of the month; spoiler -  it's a nice departure for us. Please let us know if there is a book you want us to review or an author you want us to have on the podcast!

In this episode, we chat with Science Fiction literary icon, Robert Silverberg. Named to the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 1999, Robert has won multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards. A list of his writing credits would be too long to list here, but chances are excellent that you've read his work in some form.  As an alumnus of the Golden Science Fiction era, he has incredible stories to share, and we got to scratch the surface during his visit to The Bridge.

In this episode, we sit down with Kate Trefry, one of the writers who worked closely with the Duffer Brothers to bring Netflix's Stranger Things to the screen.  Now she has brought the Stranger Things lore to the stage with The First Shadow, now playing in London, UK, soon to be on Broadway. Kate tells us about her path to working on Stranger Things eight years ago, to writing the final episodes and adapting a new story for the theatre. Kate is fun and hilarious to chat with.

 On this episode of TFTB we review The Expanse - the whole series, by James S.A. Corey.  We are big fans of these novels, and the show, so if you're into the Expanse, or happen to be Expanse-curious, this is the episode for you.  We also challenge the idea that Mars is the best planetary neighbour for colonization, and circle back to Karl Schroeder's argument for Venus.  We'll also share what other sci-fi books, comics, and shows that we're enjoying such as Dune Part 2 and G.I Joe . As always, hang on to the end to find out what our next book of the month is. Please let us know if there is a book you want us to review or an author you want us to have on the podcast!
