One addendum was that Cleavant began pondering how they (on a reboot) could solicit "independent" story ideas.  JRD then lamented and explained how the WGA works and writers' rooms work, and largely crapped on that.  It was an intriguing discussion, but certainly reminiscent of the ones Informant used to have on the series of Sliders forums.  About how artistic ideas are shuttered by this (at one time Ivy League boys club).

Going to see Naked Gun tonight.  I have been rooting for this one.  One of my favorites as a kid and would love to see the theatrical market support stuff like this (particularly this franchise).

This movie was insane. Especially the part with the snowman.

I may have asked this before but are there any Resident Alien fans on here?  It's production style reminds me a bit of Sliders s1 & 2.  I can't say I keep up with the show. But I watched the first season (mostly) and sometimes here and there will check out later season episodes.  It's remarkable in this day and age for SyFy to have a original that is sustainable.  But it's managed to squeak by.

AI is given a single vending machine to run, quickly runs its own business into the ground.

Just wanted to update and say sliders.pl notified me that Sliders the complete series is on pre-order in the UK. It will be released on June 30, 2025: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sliders-Comple … 0F3DBBK6V/. Same artwork as the region one 2014 release.

About four years ago, I donated to this GoFundMe.  I am not sure if this is allowed per forum rules (please remove if necessary), but this is as worthy of an individual as I have seen.

I cannot imagine the daunting task of having to raise $750k on the internet to safe yourself, and five years in, being 37% of that goal.  It always bothers me that billionaires can't just see these fundraisers like we do, and snap their fingers and just end the person's nightmare.

Thanks for sharing this. I would like to say I'll listen to it soon... but I am really hypnotized by The Televised Podcast covering the first two seasons of BATWOMAN and the final season of SUPERGIRL right now! I will return to other podcasts after I finish this one.

Compassion isn't just allowed, it's essential.

Thank you for sharing this.

Speaking for myself: Episodes 2 - 9 of SLIDERS are so far gone that even a purist could not claim that the episodes in the condition that they exist in any way represent how those episodes looked on original broadcast. On a CRT television, those episodes looked sharp enough and clear enough; it's only on HDTVs that all the flaws become apartment. The other episodes of SLIDERS don't need AI upscaling or reconstruction. Using AI image generation to rebuild Episodes 2 - 9 would be reproducing an acceptable facsimile of something that otherwise does not exist. I personally would be fine with that.

When we look at the 4K AI version of TRUE LIES, it looks like a plastic abomination and an embarrassing mutilation of a film that exists in 1080p and looks just fine in 1080p. With those broken episodes of SLIDERS, there isn't really a good version to turn to, so why not rebuild it?

Too bad Info isn't around for this, but BUFFY'S BACK (maybe, probably) at Hulu

Also seems another reboot at Hulu for Prison Break.  Good Lord.
