Episode 49 - Space Vikings

Randy wanted non-cynical works of art about politics (I know, right?) Joseph picked David McCullough's non-fiction book 1776, about that year in the American Revolution. Amy picked the HBO film All The Way, the LBJ biopic starring Bryan Cranston. 

Amy asked for body swap stories and boy did we deliver! Joseph came up with the 1936 H.P. Lovecraft novella Shadow Out Of Time while Randy had us watch the 1984 Steve Martin & Lily Tomlin comedy All Of Me. 

Joe was a little sick of dystopian science fiction (and this was even before the last Divergent movie) and asked the crew for optimistic science fiction. Randy choose Star Trek: First Contact for the movie and Amy chose Spider & Jeanne Robinson's Stardance for the novel.
