SPACESHIPS, STYROFOAM & SHENANIGANSWhat do you get when you build a spaceship out of trash, cast two lovable screw-ups, and launch them into space? A sci-fi comedy that’s part “New Girl,” part “Mystery Science Theater,” and 100% basement-built brilliance.In this episode of the RFN podcast, RFN Media Intern MK Martey chats with filmmaker Sam Housman about his ten-part sci-fi comedy series Escape Pod, Episode 1 screening at RFN Indie Fest. The show follows Jack and Rose, two hilariously unqualified survivors marooned in the wrong escape pod after their luxury space cruise goes off the rails.Currently, all episodes (except episode one, temporarily pulled for the festival) are available, with a potential second season in the works and even a companion series planned to explore what’s happening back on Earth. Housman encourages fellow creators to stop waiting and start filming: “I built a spaceship in my basement out of trash for $200. Just go film something.”
