(00:00):
It's my nerd World. Glad you'rehere. This is a space opera podcast.
I want to give you an updateon the future of the podcast,
why there hasn't been as many showsas I had hoped, and what I'm
planning on doing the podcast in thevery near future. A quick review of
The Midnight Sky, George Clooney's latestscience fiction film available on Netflix, which
(00:23):
I quite enjoyed. I'll share mythoughts. And speaking of space operas,
I got a brand new book comingout in my Embark science fiction space opera
series this week. I'll give youdetails on that. Let's get to the
show. Really, really, gladyou took the time to listen My nerd
(00:48):
World. It is My nerd World, a space opera podcast, and I
am your host to John Justice.Glad you're with the show this week.
Thank you for taking time to listenand download. I hope that you enjoy
it as much as I did recordingit. You can email Talk show nerd
(01:12):
at gmail dot com and always goto the website my nerdworld dot net.
So listen. Here's here's the deal. I have not done as many of
the space opera podcast shows as Ihoped for a number of different reasons,
the biggest reason being just um,time hasn't permitted between my my full time
(01:34):
radio job, the writing of myscience fiction novels, which I do because
of my love of science fiction andspace operas. Also, it's kind of
my retirement plan doing that thing withmy fingers, and who knows how long
I'm gonna be able to be onthe air based off of what's going on
in the in the world these days. Um, but a lot of it
just comes down to time with thewith the Star Wars podcasts that I make
(01:57):
sure to do every week and everything else going on, including having two
boys right and a busy schedule atthe time, hasn't permitted, and there
hasn't been a lot of space operascoming out to talk about. So no
excuse, but I wanted to giveyou an update on the show. I
did want to mention though, thatI do have a plan for the Space
Opera podcast in the future, andhopefully later this month I can begin that
(02:23):
plan, and that is to interviewindividuals involved in various space opera content creation.
I already have scheduled for later inthe month of January an interview with
Tom Edwards of Tom Edwards Designs.Tom Edwards is the artist who has done
(02:44):
all of the covers for my Embarkseries. He is an amazing artist.
His ability to take my words anddescriptions and turn them into the pieces and
works of art that he does toadorn the covers of my space opera books,
(03:04):
he is really really just incredible.So hopefully I'll have a chance to
do We kind of have a tentativeplan to record an interview later in the
month, and then I have alist of individuals that I really do hope
that I can interview down the line, particularly a lot of science fiction space
opera authors, and I hope thatthat will grow into and the show will
(03:30):
enable me the opportunity to speak toindividuals involved in movie creation as well that
have been involved in space operas.So that's the that's the plan moving forward
with the show. I don't wantto guarantee the show will be coming out
with any level of consistency just simplybecause of my busy work schedule, but
again time permitting and schedules permitting,I hope to start filling the show up
(03:52):
with interviews of individuals who are intoscience fiction and space operas and to pick
their brains their brains a little bit. I do have a brand new book
coming out in my Embark series thatI want to talk about at the end
of the show this week. Butsince there has been some science fiction content
released, doesn't necessarily fall into thecategory of space opera. But you know,
(04:16):
if you kind of loosen up thedefinition a little bit, you could
fit it in there. The MidnightSky, directed by George Clooney, came
out a couple of weeks ago.Watched it over my Christmas vacation and I
really enjoyed it. It's available onNetflix right now, and here's a little
bit of the details from Yahoo Movies. Midnight Sky George Clooney on how he
(04:38):
captured the year's most shocking death sceneand learning from failure George Clooney. The
article says, it's pretty comfortably inthe upper echelons of Hollywood when it comes
to a level of fame, successas an actor, and a respect from
his peers, where he's found moreof a mixed bag. Though he has
been behind the camera as a director, he's had unqualified triumphs like Confessions of
(05:01):
a Dangerous Mind, a Good Night, good Night, and Good Luck.
He's also had some clunkers like monumentsMen and Suburbic con And I'm pretty sure
I know we started but didn't heatdirect solaris. I. You know what,
I should have checked that before Istarted the show, but I didn't
sell My apologies. I know he'sin it right. His latest effort,
the visually striking sci fi drama TheMidnight Sky, marks a definite high for
(05:26):
Cluney, who also stars as ascientist desperately attempting to warn a returning spaceship
that Earth has been rendered uninhabitable inthe not too distant future. I really
enjoyed this film. It's a slowburn, There's no doubt about that at
all. It uses a plot elementfrom and I don't want to spoil anything
(05:48):
for somebody that hasn't seen it yet, because I know it's been out now
for several weeks. But if you'rejust now hearing about it for the first
time, I haven't checked it out. I don't want to spoil anything for
you. There is a plot elementin the film that is a direct copy,
and I don't know exactly, Idon't know which one was filmed first,
(06:09):
but there is a plot element inthe film that is exactly the same
as a plot element of another recentfilm that came out that was a Christmas
holiday film available on HBO Max.I don't want to say anything more than
that. Maybe on the next show, if you've had time to watch it,
I will mention what both films are. But we got about midway through
(06:30):
the movie and I realized what washappening, and I went, oh,
that's interesting. They used the sameplot element from that other film. He
used it very effectively. Don't misunderstand. It didn't ruin anything for me.
I just thought it was an interestinglittle anecdote that this film ended up lifting
one of its big revealing moments fromanother movie. But the film itself was
very enjoyable, the story of GeorgeClooney and a little girl on Earth trying
(06:59):
to reach out to this spaceship returningfrom this habitable planet where the inhabitants of
the spaceship are unaware of the disasterthat has happened on Earth. Both the
storylines in Space with the ship,which was very reminiscent, in my opinion,
of the ship we see at thevery beginning of Avatar very much that
(07:24):
long, stretched out modular type vehiclewhich is cool. I mean they try
to stick more towards hard science.Both the plot elements worked very well and
I found both storylines very interesting.The set design work in the film was
really compelling too, because the vehicleitself on the outside and the inside,
(07:46):
while at a first glance, lookslike your typical deep space again modular,
lengthy ship, very reminiscent of whatwe saw in the Martian as well.
It had a very organic field toit, almost as if some of the
framework had been grown, and Ithink they may even mention that they three
(08:07):
D printed it, so I thinkthat was the rationale behind it. Had
some similarities to After Earth, theWill Smith and his son m Night Shamalan
film, which did not get greatreviews, but I still quite enjoy and
actually wouldn't be a bad one forme to do on the Space Opera podcast.
The end of the film is interesting, and I will say, without
(08:28):
spoiling anything, that you need togo into it with the mindset that you're
not going to get all the resolutionsyou may be looking for. This is
the kind of film that drives mywife nuts because of that very very reason,
and there is boy I really wishmaybe you know, maybe I'll come
back next to we can do afull spoiler on it, because I want
to talk about it and I'd beinterested to hear for those that listen to
(08:50):
the podcast what you think if youwatched it, or you watch it between
now and next week. Maybe I'llcome back and do another one back to
back this week because the end ofthe film raises some really interesting questions based
off of where where the characters endup that are very challenging. So and
again I'm dancing around the edges.But if you've seen the movie, I
(09:11):
think you know what I'm talking about, because it leaves some things open and
the resolution isn't quite as clear asyou would think. And again, it's
very eye opening and and very interesting. So I definitely recommend it. You
know, if you like sci fi, obviously you're listening to the Space Opera
podcast and you don't mind a moviethat's a slow burn. It is on
(09:31):
Netflix. I think that i've hadgone to see it in the theater,
I may not have had I maynot have had enjoyed it nearly as much
because I think our expectations get hiredwhen we go to the theater, but
to sit down at home and tojust let the movie kind of wash over
you. I really really did enjoyit, and it's one that I would
probably at some point down the linerevisit. I enjoyed it that much.
(09:54):
I don't think it's one that Iwould do a regular rewatch on, like
my beloved Star Wars films, butit's one that I would definitely go back
and revisit, especially because of someof the more shocking reveals and the twists
and turns that it takes. It'sit's always interesting to me to go back
and watch a film knowing its secretsum ahead of time, after you've already
(10:16):
watched it. So, um,yeah, I give it you know,
if we go you know, ifwe're going five stars, i'll give it
a. I'll give it a threeand a half. Pretty solid three three
three and a half, Right,sounds solid? What do you think?
Talk show nerd at gmail dot com. That is the email address. Let
me know your thoughts and and againmaybe next week I'll do a spoiler review
and we can talk about it alittle a little further. All right,
(10:37):
Um, before I let you goin again, before I let you go,
And like I said, it's goingto be a short podcast this week.
UM, I do want to promotethe latest in my Embark series,
UM Embark the Embark Adventure Gon Corbinand the Asteroid of Misfortune. This is
a character that was introduced in Embarkthe Vanishing War book three. UM.
(10:58):
I intentionally put in a plot devicein book three so that I could write
this story. UM. If thisstory ends up being popular, I might
write more spinoff Gone Corban stories.I'll h you know, Indiana Jones.
But here's the back of the bookblurb for those that are that aren't familiar
(11:18):
with this with this story, itis available now as a pre order.
It comes out officially on Tuesday.If you go to Amazon dot com search
for Embark John jo Injustice you'll findit there. My nerdworld dot net there
are details. You can buy thepaperback right now. It is the least
expensive of the of the books thatI've written. It is the shortest of
(11:39):
the books that it's a quick readat about sixty thousand words because it is
just a sort of a standalone sideadventure, and it can be read as
a standalone story. So if youhave not read any of the other Embark
books, this could serve as yourentry point, even though it takes place
after the first three. So youread this story and go, oh,
(12:01):
I'm really curious how everything that issaid in the story plays out. You
can go back to you can goback and read the first three books.
So again, it can be readas a standalone story or as book four
in the Embarked series, and itwill serve as a bridge to the next
trilogy of books five, six,and seven. So here's your back of
(12:24):
the book blurb for Gone Corbin andthe Asteroid of Misfortune. Gon Corbyn,
former musician turned intergalactic messenger, usedto tour the world in his beloved Shift,
the Zero Nine, that was beforethe Great evacuation of Earth sent countless
humans into deep space to find anew home. With nowhere left to rock,
Gone traveled between the populated planets withhis sarcastic AI companion Alex, sending
(12:46):
out communication drones for a price.During the Vanishing War, Gone and Alex
onboard the Zero Nine, are struckby the enemy, sending them hurtling uncontrollably
through space. Now I'm marooned onan asteroid running low on fuel and oxygen
are the least of their problems.Again, the book is out officially on
Tuesday. You can buy the paperbackright now at Amazon dot Com. Audiobook
(13:09):
is finished and is pending approval fromAmazon and should be available as soon as
they approve it. So if youwant to continue to support my nerd World
and the show, I hope you'llgo and check the story out. It
is a very different from the firstthree books in that the first three books
are written in third third person omniscient. This is a first person perspective book
(13:30):
written from Gone Corbyn Gone Corbyn's pointof view, and it also is a
bit of a comedy, and Idesigned it as such. It really is
just sort of a fun a funromp, a fun space opera adventure.
Again, think Indiana Jones in Spaceand you get the idea. So I
hope you'll go and check it out. And if you have avoided buying the
other three books, I hope you'llgive this one to read and hopefully be
(13:54):
enticed to go and buy books one, two, three and one two and
three. Book five is finished andthat is the beginning of the next trilogy,
and that'll be out at the beginningof March. I'm currently in the
process of editing it and I've alreadystarted on writing books six, so books
five, six, and seven willall be out this year, and I'm
really excited to get these stories outin short order. It's going to be
(14:16):
a really exciting arc. And again, the Gone Corbin story is the bridge
to this next trilogy. So ifyou're planning on reading the other books,
you definitely want to check out GonCorbin and the Asteroid of Misfortune Amazon dot
com, search for John jo Injusticeor Embark and get the e book,
paperback or audiobook for all of thebooks. I really would appreciate it.
(14:37):
Pick them up for you or aor a friend. All Right, that
wraps up a space opera podcast forthis week. I'm heading to do the
Star Wars podcast next, so ifyou're into Star Wars, that'll be available
here very shortly. Thank you somuch for checking out the show. As
