Mike has fun just talking about games and nonsense until, without warning, he turns it all into a rant about politics. But he is quickly saved by Aidan and R2 who help him out with ten brand spankin’ new listener-submitted Pod-O-Matic questions. There’s bug eating and a Trump report, overlooked science fiction and the Pathfinder game, plus another zombie apocalypse and a full recitation of the Jabberwock. All this among other assorted Pod-O-Matic goodness. You’re already happy you’ve chosen to listen to this one. You know you won’t regret it.

Enjoy!

I'm excited. I do have some suggestions for new things in the game. I will update the rules with one basic thing (cow placement) so that putting down cows makes more sense.

PANDORUM is the movie you're talking about and it's great.

When it comes to science fiction movies. I would love to see one where things are actually going well for the folks involved in spite of the challenges. Like a frontier-type movie.

Also - I've heard that Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker got optioned for a movie. I am super happy about that.

Pandorum! THAT'S the movie!

I love that film. I think I've watched it three times. It was just an absolute gem of a movie that I stumbled over by accident.

You've probably eaten bugs in food because of food dye. Many carmine dyes are from cochineal bugs.
Right now, I think the ick factor keeps insect protein from getting to a large enough scale to be cheap - theoretically, it's cheaper as it takes less food to achieve a given amount of protein.
