A chance to explain yourself (Boston event)

12 July, 2018 (03:32) | Uncategorized | By: Lancer Kind

You love science fiction…

Every time the FOX movies logo hits the screen a small part of you always believes it’s Star Wars coming up next, and that small part is secretly disappointed whenever it’s not. Maybe you love science fiction enough to read it, write it, or create film or games.

So this your chance!

I’ll be in Peabody (next to Boston) July 27th and 28th. How about you use my calendar link and schedule an interview with the SciFi Thoughts podcast? You can rant convictions, whisper secrets, or turn the tables and question Lancer. Either way we’ll record and edit it to make it the most pure drop of SciFi Thought that can be distilled.

So step up and explain your relationship with science fiction! Let it never be said that I don’t seek both sides of every story.

Your fan and host,

Lancer Kind

SciFi Thoughts, a podcast about SciFi, Launched!

28 March, 2018 (13:51) | SciFi Thoughts | By: Lancer Kind

Don’t waste your commute time on dull matters! Stretch your brain with some future-oriented programming. Arrive at work with a refreshing new perspective on something you didn’t even know was a thing!

SciFi Thoughts, for a few short minutes, will tease and tantalize you with this genre from the future. SciFi has many dozens of sub-genres, each with different story telling styles that bring new possibilities into how you see the world. Our mission is to expand what science fiction means to you by exploring this genre that is diverse as the stars in the sky. SciFi Thoughts will, like the James Web Telescope, draw focus on a discovery and tantalize you with thoughts on movies and literature through intelligent and engaging discussion. If you’ve got a better idea on how to liven up your commute, leave a comment on the blog and we’ll see what we can do.

Cocktails, unfortunately, are not included.

 Miss Wisenheimer and the Aliens has a short film, a jazzy apertiv to the feature length movie. We’re making it easy for you to catch the short film in a screening room near you. Epistrophy Pictures is shipping BluRay to scifi conventions (Con) nationwide. Director Dace and I are attending the Cons wherever we can.
