Black Panther was one of the best films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. This week on the Warp Drives Podcast, we talk about the costumes, music, story, and characters in this amazing movie.
Here’s an interesting featurette on the music from the movie from io9.
We talk about upcoming conventions we’re attending, the editing process, and the role of sensitivity readers.
I am so excited to see Space Unicorn Blues listed on Barnes & Noble’s 25 Sci-Fi & Fantasy Debuts to Watch for in 2018!
Take a look at their fun writeup:
The Shape of Water wasn’t our favorite film of the year, but there were a few things we enjoyed about this modern-day fairy tale. We’re also quite concerned about Eliza’s pH balance, because she was being intimate with a fish man in a bathtub full of what looked like potpourri.
We also say that we’re going to talk about Star Trek: Discovery, but don’t get your hopes up. We ran long on The Shape of Water, so we didn’t, but that discussion is in the previous episode!
I am beyond thrilled to announce that my debut space opera, SPACE UNICORN BLUES, will be published by Angry Robot Books in July 2018!
Here’s the announcement on the Barnes & Noble Scifi & Fantasy Blog. Plus, look at this fantastic cover!
A crew of misfits race across the galaxy to prevent the genocide of magical creatures, in this unique science fiction debut… Having magical powers makes you less than human, a resource to be exploited. Half-unicorn Gary Cobalt is sick of slavery, captivity, and his horn being ground down to power faster-than-light travel. When he’s finally free, all he wants is to run away in his ancestors’ stone ship. Instead, Captain Jenny Perata steals the ship out from under him, so she can make an urgent delivery. But Jenny held him captive for a decade, and then Gary murdered her best friend…who was also the wife of her co-pilot, Cowboy Jim. What could possibly go right?
We return to the mirror universe in episode 11 of Star Trek: Discovery and were exasperated to find that even more main characters are kicking the bucket. But some are returning to life… and there were some incredibly satisfying moments as well. And what about Tilly’s amazing angular haircut?
We also talk about the SFWA Recommended Reading List and how we plan to use it to get a jump on award season reading this year.
