About this episode

In this mini-episode, Brian Skutle discusses his love for science fiction and its significance in the current year on Sonic Cinema.

In this mini-episode of the podcast, I thought I'd talk briefly about my favorite genre of all-time- science fiction. My history with the genre, why my love has only deepened, and why it's being covered so heavily this year on Sonic Cinema. I hope you enjoy! The end piece is "Weightless Waltz in F," from my 2010 album, "Beyond the Infinite: A Musical Odyssey" . Listen to me talk about some of the films mentioned: "2001: A Space Odyssey" "Strange Days" (on Female Gaze: The Film Club) "12 Monkeys" (on NostalgiaCast) "Dark City" "2050" "A.I. Artificial Intelligence"
