In Episode #26, the Pavement Pounders were delighted to be joined by Nicholas Jensen to talk about Starship Troopers, the Robert Heinlein novel and the Paul Verhoeven film of the same name (if not the same content).starship_troopers

This podcast also features a brief segment from a longer discussion with Keith Kato of The Heinlein Society.  The full interview, minus the Starship Troopers part, will be released as Episode #27 in the coming weeks.

TMTYR Episode #15: A Heinlein Timeline (Predestination)

Ringing in the new year with a brand new film, the Pavement Pounders discuss the new film Predestination, currently in limited theaters and video on demand.  The film is adapted from Robert Heinlein’s 1959 short story “-All You Zombies-“.Predestination_poster

Boys will be boys, and the Pavement Pounders got caught in a temporal underwear discussion loop.  It’s not pretty.  Seth could’ve edited it out, but for all we know, that would unravel the fabric of reality.  Get it?  Fabric?  I’ll be here all week.
