It’s that time of year again when we hand the show off to Troy Bernier, Director of the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival! As we prepare for 2023’s event (April 14th-16 at the James L. Knight Center / Hyatt Regency Miami) we look back at a fascinating entry from 2022; Apotheosis. Troy sat down with the creators, director Max Pearce along with fellow co-writer and producer Maria Sara Santoro, to discuss their short film.

SYNOPSYS: Selene, a young aerospace engineer, dreams of going to space, but was born naturally in this near-future society where the first generation of genetically engineered humans has come of age and has more privileges than those born like Selene. When her mother loses her job, Selene decides to compete against these genetically engineered humans in order to secure a job position on the first habitable space colony, Rusk Venture's Ourania. However, she'll be competing against her friend Fabrizio, Rusk's engineered son. Their friendship is pushed to the limit as their willpower and determination are put to the test.

"Apotheosis" by Max Pearce

Autism, ADHD, and an entire universe of neurodivergent individuals, many of whom find themselves dismissed and attacked by our society; represent the very core of the arts we all celebrate. People whose unique perspectives and imaginations create the art that gives our society meaning. We're joined by OG Thunder Fam Jon & J of the podcast and band that is Antitypical! A mixed media endeavor advocating neurodivergent acceptance through music and word. Tonight we'll be hearing "No Shame" off their hot new EP Unmasked.

***Boom! You are now on the other side of when Thunderverses collide!!***

Vol. 2 is the oblique shock to the Droids / Ewoks conversation we began in episode forty six of The Best Saturdays of Our Lives podcast. From patriarchal tropes and “noble savage” murder bears to the slave mindset of Oscar & Felix (if they were robots), we simultaneously celebrate and s**t on these confusing and uncertain early years of The Star War.

And as two shows disentwine two more get tangled up! We begin a three part tasteless odyssey into the realms of fire as Thunder Talk and Ring of Thunder tag team the Hot Ones home edition of Truth or Dab. Let our chicken chew’n ASMR violate your ears as The Last Dab progressively violates our mouths! And yeah, that came out wrong on purpose.

Three Months! It's been three months since the space pirate barge Thunder Talk was last heard from. Sailing the stars in search of freedom and flying under the ESO Network's banner, our lovable rogues fell perilously into a black hole.  Thunder Talk was believed lost with all hands until Troy Bernier, Director of the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival and Hero of Robotalk, sailed our podcast into calmer space-waters by editing, producing, and staring in this very special episode.

Then he sat down with Koichi Noguchi of Toei Animation and producer of the film "KAIJU DECODE". One of the many amazing entries in this years festival. In the disaster known as “Skyfall”, an orbiting space colony is destroyed and falls to Earth. Due to genetic mutation, monsters begin to inhabit the crater made by the fallen colony. Not knowing anything, Ray arrives at the location as an avatar.

We'll be back to our regular space shenanigans next week. For now we'd like to thank our dear friend Troy Bernier for taking the wheel. You can catch him, "KAIJU DECODE", and an entier galaxies worth of top shelf Scifi at the International Science Fiction Film Festival this weekend March 19th & 20th.
