This week’s podcast episode is something of a delight - a special edition that sees a collaboration between our good selves (well, minus 5D co-host Zack, who unfortunately had unavoidable obligations elsewhere) and the The Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival (SSFFF) https://www.sydneysciencefictionfilmfestival.com.au -  Australia's newest celebration of sci-fi and fantasy genre film. Simon Foster & Travis Johnson REALLY know their stuff when it comes to their country’s genre heritage; Simon is the festival director of SSFFF, the managing director of www.screen-space.net and also the co-host of the Screen Watching Podcast. If that wasn’t enough he’s also a film industry journalist with over 30 years experience as a reviewer and broadcaster. Travis is a steering committee member of the SSFFF (in 2020 he hosted a live-stream panel on the Cyberpunk sub-genre. He’s the co-host on the Screen Watching Podcast and also the founder of Celluloid and Whiskey website. If that wasn’t enough he also reviews for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, among many others.

To say recording this episode was an enjoyable experience would be a certain understatement - because not only does it feature some chat with two hugely knowledgable guys from SSFFF, but it also features a surprise guest appearance from an icon of Australian (and indeed worldwide) genre cinema.....who for now shall remain nameless. Yes, I know......I’m just one big tease.
