The Wrath of the iOtians
Absynthe by Brendan P. Bellecourt, Raised by Wolves, Season 2, The Book of Boba Fett (or is it The Mandalorian, Season 2.5?)
The iOtians chat about Brendan P Bellecourt's new sci-fi novel, Absynthe. Then they revisit the wacky world of Kepler 22-B in Raised by Wolves Season 2. And, they chat about the Mandalorian's off-season run. Or is it Luke's Jedi Academy? Oh, that's right ... it's the Book of Boba Fett! Finally, we get another Five Minutes of Culture with Jake! He covers a comprehensive audiobook/sci-fi course.
Note: Due to popular demand we went back to the original Season 1 theme music!

Our good friend Mike recently lost his friend Andy to Friedrichs Ataxia, a degenerative neuromuscular disease in the Muscular Dystrophy family. Andy visited our college several times. I was struck by how he took the time to listen and would give encouraging advice. I recently learned that he was a big fan of the 1951 film The Thing from Another World (John Carpenter's 1982 film The Thing is based on this). It was his Saturday-night ritual to watch this movie. We're going to watch it on a Saturday night to pay tribute to Andy.
The Thing from Another World (1951) directed by Christian Nyby and Howard Hawkes (uncredited)
