Synopsis

Comedy improvisers Alex Holland and Shamus Maxwell (plus special guest) discuss their loves, hates and thoughts about science fiction, fantasy and everything in between, from childhood experiences to the latest books, films and TV shows. Regular features include the guests choice of special subject, interviews with fans and experts, and the Spontaneous Pitch, in which the hosts pitch a movie concept based on a title given to them immediately beforehand. Combining light humour with proper (like, proper) discussion, this is a podcast for anyone who likes fun chat and has a casual or more than casual interest in SFF!
