Noël StarkGUEST
But that said, if I read something and they're making something of it, I often won't go see it.
Noël StarkGUEST
So I refuse to watch the Murderbot series because I love Murderbot so much.
Noël StarkGUEST
I love it so much.
Noël StarkGUEST
And I saw the trailer and I'm like, that is not the tone.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Would you say there are parallels to...
Scott JohnsonHOST
I don't know if you read the Murderbot series.
Scott JohnsonHOST
It's not called Murderbot, though.
Amy RobinsonGUEST
I saw the show.
Amy RobinsonGUEST
I haven't read the book.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Carl.
Scott JohnsonHOST
It started out in 2017.
Scott JohnsonHOST
The book was called All Systems Red, but then each one has a different name, and the entire thing's called the Murderbot Diaries.
speaker_0HOST
Incredible casting.
speaker_0HOST
He was so [laughs] good in Murder Bot and One Piece, but he isn't just playing him here.
speaker_0HOST
He, He is the author of M. Bison's prequel story for this graphic novel.
speaker_1HOST
Which is wild because blurring the line between performance and authorship is a relatively rare phenomenon in franchise filmmaking.
Doug TilleyHOST
He's joining the Far Cry series.
Doug TilleyHOST
He's gonna be in that Murderbot show, whatever the fuck it's called.
Doug TilleyHOST
But there's actually more Buscemi news, Liam, and this is very exciting.
Doug TilleyHOST
Steve Buscemi is joining the DC Universe.
Jamie PerezGUEST
Like what's so boring about the, the whole corporate take on, on sci-fi, like the dark corporate futures is like monoculture is just fucking boring.
Jamie PerezGUEST
And, and like, I think half of what makes Murderbot work is that how much time they spend in the counterculture to the corporate hellscape.
Jason KaufmanHOST
I have not watched a single episode because I've read them all.
Jason KaufmanHOST
I've read them all and I don't want to ruin it.
Adib KhorramGUEST
Yeah.
Adib KhorramGUEST
and less puritanical but yeah he has embraced queer roles I think even going back to his work on True Blood he was never like hyper masculine there was always something about like oh yeah he's probably fucking all these people his work on Murderbot has been delightful
Sarah WendellHOST
You're as obsessed with Murderbot as I am.
Sarah WendellHOST
Did I read correctly? Oh, yes.
Sarah WendellHOST
Oh, my God.
Adib KhorramGUEST
She really is.
Adib KhorramGUEST
And I admire her so much for her craft and also for, I mean, to me, she really epitomizes the career of a writer who stuck it out and kept writing.
Adib KhorramGUEST
And, you know, the Murderbot books were like 20 years into her career.
MelissaHOST
So before we start
LizaHOST
getting scared, what did you do this week in geeking? I did finish Murderbot.
LizaHOST
We finished that up.
LizaHOST
Wow.
LizaHOST
Yeah, that's on the TV, too.
LizaHOST
It says go to merch.
LizaHOST
I'm like, what? I saw that just recently, I think, with Murderbot.
LizaHOST
Oh, yeah, maybe
speaker_0HOST
We are currently seeing Interview with a Vampire doing incredibly ambitious things with Anne Rice's prose
speaker_1HOST
Murder Bot is currently in production adapting Martha Wells' brilliant internal diaries of an anxious soap opera-loving security android
speaker_0HOST
And there are massive projects based on the works of Asimov, Gibson, and Liu in various stages of development across the major streamers
speaker_1HOST
And the reason you, the listener, should care about this is that in an entertainment landscape that often feels like it's just feeding us the same recycled IP over and over, these deep, complex adaptations offer a genuine intellectual thrill
Ben LindberghHOST
So I do recommend it, even if it's not the easiest watch at all times.
Ben LindberghHOST
And then, yeah, my, my B tier I have Silo, Dark Matter, Murder Bot, which is a fun, clever, funny show, Monarch, and then Sunny in my C tier.
Ben LindberghHOST
And, you know, this is, this is a lot for one streaming service, and, and not the most prolific streaming service.
Ben LindberghHOST
And I think probably a lot of people are checking out Apple TV this month because Ted Lasso has been airing.
JaredHOST
He must have been so disappointed to read that and realize he would have to show up for a day and not just, you know, do the ADR.
Carson MooreGUEST
It's like how they hired Alexander Skarsgård for Murderbot.
Carson MooreGUEST
They were like, let's take the genderless, like, featureless robot and, like, get the dudest man ever to just, like, play the Murderbot.
Carson MooreGUEST
And I was like,
DanHOST
The same guy
