FREE PATREON BONUS - Pinocchio HAL and the Convention Crusade with Virginia Smith

For July's first Patreon Bonus episode, we continue our conversation with Virginia Smith and try to determine if HAL gets to become "a real boy."

The differences in how Kubrick and Hyams treat HAL and Discovery. How both directors deal with space and Space, and somehow create that Odyssey sense of wonder.

We discuss the broad range of science fiction and look at the differences between mystery vs. action, suspense vs. horror.

From "Short Circuit" to "The Goonies," the power of DIY fandom and the beauty of coming together at conventions to share the love.

Plus: the shocking lack of HAL merchandise, and a special announcement from Virginia about an upcoming HAL-related project...
