This time the guys discuss Tom Godwin’s 1954 classic short story “The Cold Equations” and tackle three of its adaptations: the 1980s Twilight Zone episode, the 1996 Sci-Fi Channel movie, both sharing the story’s title, and the 2014 short film titled The Stowaway.

And we’re back with another new episode! James is finally back in his house, and we’re on remote protocol, but picked a title we could all watch, and one we could do with Netflix Party! So that was fun. Bird Box, the 2018 movie, based on the 2014 book.
If you want to skip James’s tale of sailing all the way around South America, skip to 5:59. You jerk!

James: Book/Movie
Seth: Book/Movie

Colin with a COVID-19 improvised blindfold.
And now our Netflix Party chat. Warning, there’s literally no context to anything.

In Episode #9, the Pounders discuss Edge of Tomorrow, adapted from Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s much more interestingly-titled light novel All You Need is Kill.
In a twist that’s perhaps ironic and perhaps moronic, Seth didn’t notice his mic was unplugged until the discussion was well underway. Fortunately, he’d been splattered with Alpha blood and was able to time loop back and replace the missing content. And Alpha blood is really good for the skin, as we understand.
It makes a good redemption story, and Colin Loves a Good Redemption Story (TM).
BTW, I’m not sure we gave full spoiler warnings. So here it is: Spoilers!! Big Time!
