    05 - "'Impossible Dreams" (2007)

    Originally recorded June 20, 2023


    Back in my day you had to go to a store, in person, to pick up a DVD or VHS tape if you wanted to watch a specific movie at home. Ok, Sam and Jack aren't that old but they do remember when Netflix delivered discs in the mail. Tim Pratt writes about the old magic of browsing the shelves at the local video rental store in the 2007 Hugo Short Story winner "Impossible Dreams", and how stories on screen enrapture us just as much as those in text. Romance ensues.


    Mentioned in this episode:

    Superman Lives script (written by Kevin Smith!) and some more behind the scenes info

    Quick read on how indie bookstores have survived corporation and digitization

    An Oral History of Kingdom of the Sun (not Empire) and Yzma's song "Snuff Out The Light"

    Short Film adaption by Shir Comay


    Recommendations:

    Ready Player One directed by Steven Spielberg

    Your Name directed by Makoto Shinkai

    I Met a Traveler in an Antique Land by Connie Willis

    F foe Fake directed by Orson Welles

    Harlan Ellison is a legendary name in the sci-fi world with numerous award winning novels and stories attributed to him. He is was also an author with a lot of baggage as a quick glance at his Wikipedia page can tell you. Sam and Jack read a very 1960s story about fighting against the Man and freeing society while musing on art done by not very nice people. You'll not waste any time listening to this one.

    03b - "Eurema's Dam" (1973)

    1973 had two winners. Listen to 3a - "The Meeting" if you haven't yet!


    With over 70 stories to discuss, it was inevitable that one would disappoint. That story is Eurema's Dam. Albert the brilliant but dumb machinist rants and raves and invents, and in the end his words are lost to his audience and readers alike. Sam and Jack try and figure out what the Worldcon crowd in Toronto saw in this while arguing over whether the narrator also dislikes this story. With two stories about intelligence and Lafferty a... tad bitter about tying with "The Meeting", it is only natural to see which of the two stories has the edge. Ready Player One is mentioned for the first (and unfortunately not the last) time on the show.
