What makes great sci-fi?
Rob and I certainly have our complaints about some of the current sci-fi television shows and films that have been released over the past few years. Sometimes the story is bad, sometimes the effects are bad, and sometimes the science doesn't make any sense. And more often than not, it's a combination of these three factors to varying degrees.
So when Robert Meyer Burnett says he's just watched the greatest episode of sci-fi he's seen in years - I want to know more.
Rob goes on to explain what the producers, writers, and studios behind 'For All Mankind' (currently streaming on AppleTV) are doing right and why good storytelling like this matters.
It's definitely worth a listen ...
As always, I'll be writing more about all this on the ROADTRIPPIN' blog later today (and will probably post it this evening). You can check it out on our website: https://postgeeksingularity.com/roadtrippin-with-rmb/

I invite you to listen in on my weekday conversations with my friend and business partner, Robert Meyer Burnett, as we talk about the things we love: great movies, inspiring television programming, nostalgic genre entertainment, and pop culture.
