For this festive Patreon bonus, it's another first reaction commentary of a movie/TV show we've never seen. This month, we're not sure which it is. It's Rip Van Ronkle's "Destination Space!" The effects look just about as real as that name but wow, are there some cool - and familiar - designs just waiting to be made into toys!

The cool footage may be from George Pal's "Conquest of Space," but this precursor to modern sci-fi has little kernels of just about everything we've seen in the last 65 years, but with more toupees...

The party never stops at Clavius Base on Patreon, where we put out an extra hour + of extra episodes AND a community fanzine every month!

For this free holiday bonus, join us for the inaugural "2061" Book Club episode, co-hosted by our friend Cosmic Lion Comics publisher Eli Schwab!

We'll be almost nearing the end of the book this coming January, so here's your chance to start the journey and catch up with us so you can join in with your own feedback message or voice recording!

In this episode from July, we introduce the book, look at the first two chapters and examine author Arthur's author's note, as well as the all-important table of contents. (Gotta be thorough.)

Does this book only exist because of Clarke's comet consternation? Is instigating a second sun for the solar system, peace on Earth, and the promise of life on a sister moon sufficient accomplishment to get trashed and fall off a balcony judgment-free?

We're asking the tough questions on Patreon. And even if it ages us to older than 100, we don't look a day over 65...

We've finally reached the point where we have to address Max addressing TMA-2, preferably not claws-out with that crunchy pod.

The additional meanings of the Monolith in 2010, how it's activated, bu what (or whom)...and the additional mysteries of "Big Brother."

The massive differences between this part of the film and the book. And why Max was always going to be the one who had to take this mission.

Follow along as we take the mission with Max! (1:02:19 on the Bluray & digital version)

The chunky beauty of Syd Mead's pod designs and the hypnotizing glow of Albert Brenner's spaceship consoles. And why Heywood has whiskey.

Plus: 50 years of Barry Lyndon!
