History in Reverse - Father and daughter science fiction podcast

by History in Reverse SciFi Podcast

A Science Fiction Father/Daughter podcast. We called it "History in Reverse", because history is about the past and science fiction is about the future, so it's like history but going in reverse direction. Get it? Caroline, the daughter, got hooked on science fiction by Richie, the father, when we both used to watch Star Trek Voyager. Captain Janeway is still Caroline's favorite captain.

    Caroline and Richie went to see "Dune - Part 2" and in this episode we discuss our impressions. Seems like we liked Part 1 better, although we believe this part is worth seeing as well. Here is a link to the conversation between Steven Colbert and Neil DeGrass Tyson, re: physics of Dune.

    In this episode we discuss the book and the movie "Andromeda Strain", This book was the first novel that Micheal Crichton published under his own name, and it was made into a movie in the early 1970s. This was the first time Caroline saw this movie and she liked it. Both the book and the movie were very suspenseful and quite exciting at times, even when the plot was predictable. The movie shows how scientist deal with researching a new pathogen, which we thought was bit relevant to the pandemic we have just been through.

    History in Reverse Sci-Fi Podcast Ep. 23: "Forbidden Planet"/"The Tempest"

    59:00

    In this episode of "History in Reverse" we compare the 1956 movie "Forbidden Planet" to the play "The Tempest". "Forbidden Planet" was one of the early big budget science fiction movies. In fact it was nominated for its special effects. "Forbidden Planet" was loosely based on "The Tempest", so that's why we decided to compare the two. We want to mention that Prospero did not kill Sycorax (the mother of Caliban). She was already dead when Prospero and Miranda arrived on the island.

    Over the holidays we went to see "Avatar: The Way of Water" and decided to discuss our impressions. We both avoided reading most of the reviews, so that we would not be influenced by other opinions. Basically we liked the movie, but Caroline had a lot criticism of the plot. If you haven't seen the movie, don't worry about any spoilers as the story is very, very predictable. As with first Avatar movie the visuals were very pretty. But, as we noted, the deepest part of the movie was the ocean! As always you can write us at history.in.reverse.podcast@gmail.com and let us know what you think.
