This time we hit Robert Mason’s 1989 military/AI novel Weapon, adapted to a pretty terrible 1996 movie named after the main character, Solo.
Colin reached out to the author and got him to do some Q&A, which we sprinkle in through this episode.
It’s a tricky eBook to find. I guess I found it from Barnes & Noble a while back, but right now I don’t see it in the store. The book is excellent and worth tracking down.
Colin references the afterword from the book that’s available on the author’s page:
This time, we hit 1994’s Timecop, based on the Dark Horse Presents character from the August, September, and October 1992 issues of Dark Horse Comics. There are splits, and messy time travel logic, and awesome performances from Bruce McGill and Ron Silver.

We’ve got two follow-up movies this year, A Christmas Story Christmas on HBO Max and Spirited! on Apple TV+. Opinions differed on the quality of the movies.
This time, the guys discuss the classic 1924 Richard Connell short story “The Most Dangerous Game” and several adaptations sharing the name (or at least 90% of the name).
This is Part One of at least a two-part series covering the many, many adaptations of this story.
Our friend Phil Nichols joins us for a discussion of Ray Bradbury’s 1962 novel Something Wicked This Way Comes and its 1983 theatrical adaptation. There may also be mention of another adaptation (oooh, spooooky!)
We were delighted to interview Bragi Schut, who wrote the original screenplay that the new Samaritan movie is based on. He’s also authored a comic of the same name, currently available as two issues from Mythos Comics.
