Games In Science Fiction Part 1
from Silly Talks About Science Fiction · host Jeffrey Gritman and Cristin Kist
We think Jeffrey Goines said it best when he said “GAMES! GAMES! GAMES!” in 12 Monkeys. On Episode 35 of STASF we take a look at games that are featured in part of our favorite sci-fi movies and tv shows. Also we’ll discuss movies that are based off of games. And let’s ponder some fun questions about the movies and shows we are talking about- like, why did Zathura suck? Do you know what the monster chess game in Star Wars is called? And while Battleship was a horrible movie that didn’t need to be made, why do all the aliens in the movie look like Jeff? Do they know something we don’t?
