The H2o Podcast

Last week, we talked about a few resolutions we have for the new year. This week, we take a look back at 2021 and review just how good (or bad) things got for sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. Does it serve as a precursor to another year of mayhem and chaos? Or do things get better from here?Tip Jar: https://www.paypal.me/scifi4meSubscribeStar: http://www.subscribestar.com/scifi4meNewsletter: http://eepurl.com/gboU11http://www.twitch.tv/scifi4meOdysee: https://odysee.com/@SciFi4Mehttp://www.facebook.com/scifi4mehttp://www.instagram.com/scifi4mehttp://www.twitter.com/scifi4mehttp://www.pinterest.com/scifi4mehttp://www.gab.com/scifi4mehttp://www.minds.com/scifi4mehttp://www.mewe.com/i/scifi4mehttps://parler.com/profile/SciFi4Mehttps://scifi4me.locals.comMusic and select stock footage licensed through Storyblocks.#SciFi4MeTV #H2Opodcast #YearInReview

It's our first show of the new year, so of course we have to talk about some resolutions.

It's our LAST show of the year! And we have some holiday cheer! Well, at least it's a discussion about some stories to enjoy around the holidays, and we hope yours are safe and satisfying. Here's hoping 2022 is brighter, healthier, and a lot more sane!

J.R.R. Tolkien did it in THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Marc Okrand did it for STAR TREK. From Elvish to Klingon to Vulcan to Esperanto and all points in between, there are times when it's necessary to craft a language from scratch.

Have you ever noticed that when there's a villain in a story, it seems more often than not the character is British. Why is that? It hasn't always been like that, you know...

It's the movie we've been awaiting for a long while now, and it's finally out in theaters. Is GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE everything we'd hoped? Is it worthy of the title? Does it meet our expectations, or is it an underwhelming flop? How much did they get right, and how much did they get wrong?

So, on Friday the 12th, we got a few bits and bites about the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe series coming soon to Disney Plus. And we got -- well, not very much about the new series in the Star Wars universe. Let's discuss.

"There's no such thing as an original idea anymore." Do you find yourself wondering where all the new ideas have gone? Do you frequently experience frustration at all of the remakes and reboots and requels and reimaginings? Well...this may be a conversation that either helps or hurts.

Something we haven't done in a while: talk about books. So we're going to take a little time tonight and discuss some titles we've read in recent days, and give you some (possible?) recommendations for books you can read while you're holed up for the winter.

Well, we've seen it. So now we're going to talk about it in a special Tuesday edition. Bring your thoughts about Part One of Dune, and let's talk about what works, what doesn't work, how it compares to Lynch's version (does it?), and what we might expect for Part Two.

So...DC Fandome came and went, and in the past week or so there's been a lot of talk about Superman (no, not that one...the other one). So we're pulling from our planned-ahead-of-time list to take a look at the Man of Steel with an eye toward the question: would Superman be best considered science fiction or fantasy? Because there's an argument to be made either way.

Last week we got word that there's a new BABYLON 5 on the way, and it got us thinking: what are some of the old TV shows and movies that absolutely NEED a remake? The stories that -- for whatever reason -- didn't quite take off the first time and deserve another chance. Got any suggestions? Share them with us.

BREAKING: Today we got the news that The CW is rebooting BABYLON 5, a series that some feel is one of the best science fiction series of all time. J. Michael Straczynski is on board, and it's described as a "from the ground up" reboot. Are we ready for this?

Last week, we focused our attention on the upcoming DUNE adaptation and our expectations -- cautiously optimistic hopes, if you will -- along with a look at David Lynch's version from oh, so long ago. Will it live up to the hype? Because DUNE has been seen as one of *those* stories that's almost impossible to get right. This week, we broaden our scope to those other stories that would seem to fit that same category: the unfilmable. The impossible. The "highly challenging" types. We have our list. What stories would you include?

Arthur P Jacobs, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Ridley Scott, David Lynch, the Sci Fi Channel ... and now Denis Villeneuve takes a crack at Arrakis. There's a lot of buzz about this movie, and there's a lot riding on its success. Not just the potential for part two, but also the impact that it may have on distribution models as we continue to crawl out of the pandemic chaos. Can this adaptation of Frank Herbert's masterpiece go the distance?

Coming on the heels of our look back at Richard Donner's career, we thought we'd take a little more time to go in-depth with a discussion about one of the best movies of the 80s: THE GOONIES.

In the wake of Richard Donner's death, we take a look at his career and how his approach to "Verisimilitude" had an impact on not only his superhero projects, but movies and television shows from other genres and other creators.

Return with us to those thrilling days of yesteryear! Tonight we take a look -- or is it a listen? -- to a form of media that we don't think about all that often: the radio show. Superman, The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, War of the Worlds, the "Lights Out" series, the NPR adaptations of STAR WARS.... All of those came before, and now we're seeing how it influences what we're getting now with fully produced audio drama podcasts.

Recently, we've seen trailers for new shows that aren't....quite...new. Reboots and sequels for shows that were popular in the 80s. And they all had one thing in common: they sold toys. Is that the only way for a franchise to stay afloat? Merchandise?

There are a few of them out there. Those books, video games, the projects that never got finished. Some of them are "still in the works" we're told.
