Two Old Farts Talk Sci-Fi will bring you back to when you first fell in love with the speculative genre, which includes science fiction, fantasy, and horror, their mashups and subgenres, whether that be the written word or movies, TV, theatre, comic books and graphic novels. Whatever the format, if it can’t happen in real life, it may be brought up.---What is it that first brought you to love the things that could not happen?---What is it about the speculative genre that keeps you reading and watching?---Listen to Troy and David reminisce mostly about the ’60s and ’70s, and ’80s, but don’t be surprised if Metropolis or the 1933 King Kong movie is referenced, R.U.R., and stuff after the ’80s up to yesterday. And what is happening now. And what may happen in the future. Most episodes will be themed (for example: Universal Classic Monsters; Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes; Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of his Work, Life, and Influences (the new book by Bev Vincent); the 1968 Planet of the Apes film; Shakespeare in Star Trek; to name a few). There will be occasional special guests who are experts in the topic being discussed.---https://2of.ca/---Troy Harkin is a Canadian writer who was born in Halifax and raised in Toronto.
