| 4/15/26 |  The 150th Episode Special | Tales From The Bridge is now 150 episodes old! From humble beginnings at the start of the pandemic when a local bookclub was forced to go online, to a titan of the Science Fiction literature world! Boldly going where no other sci-fi podcast has gone before… okay, maybe that’s a bridge too far, but it’s been a fun journey nonetheless. It’s been stellar for us (see what I did there?) and we want to thank all of our listeners for coming along for the ride. Since our first episode, we’ve in... | 1h 00m 49s | ||||||
| 4/1/26 |  TFTB Film Club: Looper (2012) | On the latest episode of TFTB, our film club hosts time travel way back to 2012 to rewatch Looper. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Looper brought an all star cast together that included Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Bruce Willis. The concept was that contract Killers or “Loopers” could travel back in time and carry out hits for organized crime bosses in the future. Find out what our film clubbers had to say about it, and let us know what you think on our socials. Let us k... | 44m 45s | ||||||

| 1/7/26 |  TFTB Film Club: Jupiter Ascending (2015) | TFTB Film Club is back, and apologies in advance. Our Film Clubbers decided to review the much maligned, Jupiter Ascending from 2015. When this came out, the unfortunate reviewer assigned from The Guardian called this film “…absolute nonsense” with “…dialogue that would make George Lucas cringe.” For reasons we can’t truly justify, we’re bringing it back. Come circle the drain with us one more time, we promise to make it fun. You can also us know if there's a book or film that you want ... | 43m 23s | ||||||
