Why season three of 'For All Mankind' is must-see sci-fi (#048)
What makes great sci-fi?<br /><br />Rob and I certainly have our complaints about some of the current sci-fi television shows and films that have been released over the past few years. Sometimes the story is bad, sometimes the effects are bad, and sometimes the science doesn't make any sense. And more often than not, it's a combination of these three factors to varying degrees.<br /><br />So when Robert Meyer Burnett says he's just watched the greatest episode of sci-fi he's seen in years - I want to know more.<br /><br />Rob goes on to explain what the producers, writers, and studios behind 'For All Mankind' (currently streaming on AppleTV) are doing right and why good storytelling like this matters.<br /><br />It's definitely worth a listen ...<br /><br />As always, I'll be writing more about all this on the ROADTRIPPIN' blog later today (and will probably post it this evening). You can check it out on our website: <a href="https://postgeeksingularity.com/roadtrippin-with-rmb/" rel="noopener">https://postgeeksingularity.com/roadtrippin-with-rmb/</a><br /><br />And remember, you can always send us a letter.

Is Jean-Luc Picard Star Trek's new hope? (#047)
We all know Rob isn't big on nu-Trek. And in today's ROADTRIPPIN' podcast, RMB expresses his concerns and frustrations with the latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds's latest episode.<br /><br />But here's the thing about Rob's complaints - and, specifically, his concerns about the quality of writing for the latest generation of live-action, Star Trek shows currently streaming on Paramount+ ...<br /><br />He's not wrong.<br /><br />In fact, many of his complaints about the writing and writers as well as the stewardship of the Star Trek brand by the various showrunners involved have been confirmed by various people who have worked on the same productions. And it was during these conversations that Rob learned an important thing he shares with the ROADTRIPPIN' audience.<br /><br />Things are going to change when Jean-Luc Picard gets back in the command chair in season three of STAR TREK: PICARD.<br /><br />You've gotta hear it to believe it ... <br /><br />Oh, by the way, I apologize in advance for the sound of carpenters working on my roof while recording the first ten minutes of my interview with Rob. I explain this in a bit more detail during the intro to the podcast, but if you want to skip it, the hammering interludes end for good about 10-12 minutes into the interview.<br /><br />As always, I'll be writing more about all this on the ROADTRIPPIN' blog later today (and will probably post it this evening).

Attention Star Command, there seems to be a problem with Buzz Lightyear (#046)
I saw LIGHTYEAR at the theater this Sunday with my family. Tickets for the four of us were just under $65, so by my figuring, we were just four of around 3 million people who saw that movie during its opening weekend.<br /><br />And while that missed projections, it’s still a pretty healthy opener for an animated movie.<br /><br />But should we evaluate it as “just” an animated movie? That may not be fair to the movie, to Pixar, to other animated features or to the legions of Buzz Lightyear fans who felt a little bit cheated by the movie.<br /><br />And if not cheated, that at least confused (or possibly misled).<br /><br />Robert Meyer Burnett and I discussed three letters from Imagination Connoisseurs who expressed their concern and disappointment about LIGHTYEAR – and while we didn’t agree entirely, we didn’t disagree either. <br /><br />Why is that? Give the podcast a listen to find out.<br /><br />As always, I'll be writing more about all this on the ROADTRIPPIN' blog later today (and will probably post it this evening).
