38:25

We all have that one thing we just can’t watch.

There is a long history of body horror as a form of social commentary and special effects showmanship. I respect the artform, but I can’t stomach…

34:43

In the 1950s, an article about the popularity of folk music among science fiction fans had a typo where “folk” was written as “filk.” From then on, filk music became a staple at grassroots sci-fi conventions. Filkers would either write parody lyrics to existing folk songs, or they’d invent entirely new speculative worlds in 3-4 minute songs. Filk h…
