Sci-Fi Talk: the insider interviews
I have to say up-front that Sci-Fi Talk is an amazing enterprise. Began at the beginning of the year, there is now an archive of 100 Interviews with the Actors and Creators of SCI-FI. Actually, the mandate extends further than that; it covers the associated realms of Fantasy and Horror, in both tv and movie formats. The host, Tony Tellado, has invested an enormous amount of WILL into this venture; and one can only marvel at the final result.
There is insight and perspective; straight from the originators’ mouths. Before, such access would have only been granted to the media elite, but in today’s decentralised, information-free times, everyone can become a conduit of truth and story. And that is what Tony does. Let those who animate our tv screens and imaginations speak their answers about what it was like to participate in these Sci-Fi ventures. Amazing.
the interviews are a tight 20 minutes in length, although they do stray above this occasionally. There is no fluff or time-wasting, it’s straight into the interview itself. Audio quality is only so-so, as the main means of conveyance is by phone line, which can be patchy at best.
Science Fiction has a way of presaging the future by only 10 or 15 years; and in that respect it is somewhat frightening. What *exactly* are these writers and creators tapping into when they set their minds free?
