    The BIG Sci-Fi crew welcomes back film-maker, Jeffrey Morris to discuss his new film "Beyond The Eagle Obsession." His latest film highlights the fandom that continues to grow around the incredible ships of Space: 1999 and beyond!

    This film is beautifully shot and presented with great affection for the fans, but it's a film that pays homage to and honors the fans and their favorite shows and films.

  • Strange New Worlds Review: Season 4, Part 2
    Oct 13 2026

    Strange New Worlds has taken us on quite a ride this season, and in this week’s episode, the BIG Sci‑Fi crew dives headfirst into the second half of Season 4 — and wow, do the feelings fly. This is one of those episodes where passion meets analysis, and the conversation gets delightfully spicy as the team breaks down what’s working, what’s not, and why this season has fans buzzing.


    - What You’ll Hear in This Episode -

    Bold Choices & Big Swings:

    The crew unpacks the creative risks SNW takes in the back half of the season — from character arcs to tonal shifts — and debates which ones soar and which ones sputter.


    The Emotional Highs (and Lows):

    There’s plenty of love for standout performances, powerful moments, and classic Trek themes… but also some frustration with choices that left the crew scratching their heads.


    Canon, Continuity & Controversy:

    SNW continues to play in the sandbox of Trek history, and the team isn’t shy about discussing where it honors the legacy — and where it might be bending it a bit too far.


    A Season That Sparks Conversation:

    Whether you adored it, questioned it, or landed somewhere in between, Season 4’s second half gives fans a lot to talk about — and the BIG Sci‑Fi crew brings all the energy, humor, and heart you expect.


    - Why This Episode Hits Hard -

    This is the kind of discussion Trek fans live for: passionate, thoughtful, occasionally fiery, and always rooted in a deep love for the franchise. If you’ve watched Season 4 and have opinions, this episode is your perfect companion.


    Perfect For Listeners Who Enjoy:

    1) Strange New Worlds

    2) Deep‑dive fandom debates

    3) Honest, spirited sci‑fi conversation

    4) Trek analysis with heart and humor

    5) Episodes where the crew brings the heat

  • Pete and Chris from Interfleet Broadcasting
    Oct 6 2026

    The Stranded Warrior Fan Film

    The BIG Sci‑Fi crew welcomes two beloved voices from the Battlestar Galactica fandom — “New York Pete” Peter Giakoumis and “The Tipsy Toaster” Chris Moore, hosts of Interfleet Broadcasting (IFB) and creators of the award‑winning fan film The Stranded Warrior. This lively, laughter‑filled conversation celebrates creativity, community, and the enduring power of classic sci‑fi.


    - What You’ll Hear in This Episode -


    The Story Behind IFB:

    Pete and Chris share how Interfleet Broadcasting began, how it grew into a fan‑favorite BSG hub, and why they love building a space where fans can gather, geek out, and keep the flame of Battlestar alive.


    Battlestar Galactica Fandom — Then and Now:

    The guests talk about their lifelong connection to the franchise, the characters and themes that shaped them, and why BSG continues to resonate with fans decades later.


    Inside The Stranded Warrior:

    Hear the behind‑the‑scenes story of their acclaimed fan film — from inspiration to production challenges to the incredible fan response. Pete and Chris discuss the passion, teamwork, and sheer determination that brought this project to life.


    Creative Collaboration & Community:

    The conversation dives into how fan creators support one another, how fandom fuels imagination, and why projects like The Stranded Warrior matter in the broader sci‑fi landscape.


    Plenty of Laughs and Great Energy:

    The BIG Sci‑Fi crew had an absolute blast with Pete and Chris — and listeners will feel that same joy, camaraderie, and shared fandom throughout the episode.


    Why This Episode Stands Out:

    This is a celebration of fan creativity at its best. Pete and Chris bring humor, heart, and deep knowledge of Battlestar Galactica, making this episode a treat for longtime fans and newcomers alike. Their story is inspiring, their passion infectious, and their love for sci‑fi unmistakable.


    Perfect For Listeners Who Enjoy:

    Battlestar Galactica (classic or modern)

    Fan films and indie sci‑fi projects

    Behind‑the‑scenes creative stories

    Fandom‑driven conversations

    Energetic, fun guest episodes

  • Aaron Rosenberg
    Sep 22 2026

    Award Winning Author

    The BIG Sci‑Fi crew welcomes award‑winning and best‑selling author Aaron Rosenberg, creator of the beloved DuckBob series and a prolific writer across science fiction, fantasy, tie‑in fiction, and more. Aaron brings sharp wit, deep craft knowledge, and a contagious enthusiasm for storytelling to this fun and insightful conversation.


    Things to listen for in this conversation:


    Aaron’s Writing Journey:

    How he got started, the twists and turns of his career, and what keeps him excited about writing after dozens of books across multiple genres.


    The DuckBob Universe:

    Aaron shares the origins of DuckBob, why readers connect with the series, and how humor and heart work together in his storytelling.


    Genre‑Hopping as a Creative Strength:

    From sci‑fi to fantasy to tie‑in fiction, and even role playing games, Aaron talks about the challenges and joys of writing in different worlds — and how each genre sharpens different creative muscles.


    Craft, Process, and Professionalism:

    The team digs into Aaron’s writing habits, how he approaches world‑building, and the discipline required to thrive as a full‑time author.


    Why This Episode Stands Out:

    Aaron’s versatility and passion make this conversation a treat for writers, readers, and sci‑fi fans alike. Whether you love quirky characters, expansive universes, or behind‑the‑scenes insights into the writing life, this episode delivers.


    Perfect For Listeners Who Enjoy:

    Sci‑fi and fantasy storytelling, tie‑in fiction and shared universes, author interviews, writing craft discussions, and humor‑infused sci‑fi like DuckBob!

  • Big Bug
    Sep 1 2026

    French Sci-Fi Film

    What happens when artificial intelligence, domestic robots, and a group of very eccentric humans are all stuck under the same roof? Well… things get weird! 🤖😂


    In the latest episode of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast, Adeena, Cris, and Steve take a trip across the Atlantic to check out the quirky French-made Netflix sci-fi film BigBug.


    The crew digs into this colorful, bizarre, and often hilarious look at artificial intelligence, human relationships, technology, and what might happen when our robots decide they have ideas of their own.


    Is BigBug a clever satire? A strange comedy? A cautionary tale about our technological future? Maybe a little bit of all three!


    Adeena, Cris, and Steve share what they loved, what left them scratching their heads, and whether this unusual sci-fi adventure deserves a place among the genre's more memorable films.


    Come for the robots. Stay for the chaos.


    Press play and join the conversation on The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast!
