Stars End S2E09 - Sometimes Podcasts Shout Louder Than Logic

11/15/21 • 52 min

You know. Spoilers and all that.

In 1987 the Smiths released an excellent compilation album entitled "Louder than Bombs." It's the apotheosis of mope rock! In 2021 "Is it Really So Strange" that we would release a podcast episode called "Louder than Logic?" Even if none of us is named "Smith?

But here's the thing: it fits.

Gaal can feel the future in a way that might undermine psychohistory! That's Louder than Mathematics!

Lewis was able to wish the Invictus back to Terminus! That's Louder than Science!

And Salvor always knows how that coin will land! That's Louder than Random!

Have you ever tried to replace a colorblind, left-handed clone with a perfect replica of Cleon I? That's Louder than Reason!

You should join us as we talk about this barnburner of an episode directed by the great Roxann Dawson!

I mean it! "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want!" Join us!

Stars End S2E08 - Your Lack of Understanding Does Not Obligate Us to Podcast

If you're a Lee Pace fan, or "stan" as the kids say, or even an "aficionado" like they said back in my day, "The Missing Piece" may be for you! It's like the last temptation of Brother Day meets Dune with 100% fewer sandworms. That is to say, it's a lot of loincloths and wandering around in the desert. Damn sand gets in everything!

Plus Hari's still incorporeal, Gaal indulges in some casual vandalism, Salvor and Phara go on a trip, and Ethel the Aardvark goes quantity surveying.

As usual, we talk about it.

This week we're joined by Rich Greenberg, a screenwriter and old friend of Jon's. Rich is known for Zoe (2018), starring Ewan McGregor, Léa Seydoux, and Rashida Jones, as well as the Emmy Award-Winning The Beauty Inside (2018). Rich will tell us about the process of adapting an IP, particularly a science fiction IP for television.

Stars End S2E10 - Under the Genetic Dynasty There is Only Room for One Podcast

Haven't watched Episode 10, "The Leap" yet? We'll be here when you're done.

Astoundingly, here we are at the end of Foundation's Season 1. We're all about to experience the teevee equivalent of empty nest syndrome.

But not yet! There are two more episodes of Stars End for this season! There's this one, where we talk about Episode 10 and then there will be one more in about two weeks where we give an overview of Foundation's epic first season! Also a special guest! Also also some surprises!

And we're here for the duration! It might feel like it will be 30,000 years until there will be new content on Apple TV+ but we'll be here through this new interregnum to make sure that it feels like far less than 1000 years!

You've come with us this far! Let's keep moving forward together!
