The Hyper Space: Podcasting in the 25th Century

This week on THE HYPER SPACE we cover a wide range of topics. Matt introduces his kids to the Pirates of the Caribbean films. How on Earth did The Acolyte cost $300 million? Jared gives a review of the fan-made movie edit of the Ahsoka series. We talk about how the streaming model of entertainment is strangling creativity. And finally, we wax nostalgic for one of our favorite shows of all time, LOST. It's an episode we call STREAMING INTO OBLIVION and it's the hard-hitting insight you're only going to find on THE HYPER SPACE!

In the latest episode of THE HYPER SPACE, we pay tribute to James Earl Jones. For decades he was a presence in our lives through his work, and in this episode we revisit some of our favorite moments.

It's the kind of commentary you'll only hear from the 25th Century on THE HYPER SPACE podcast!

THE HYPER SPACE returns with our review and discussion of ALIEN: ROMULUS! Joining us for this episode is special guest, Mike's son David (not the android from Prometheus).

On the latest episode of THE HYPER SPACE, our conversation about FRANCHISE FATIGUE continues. In this episode we focus on the rise and fall of Marvel Studios.

This week, THE HYPER SPACE jumps into the maelstrom of FRANCHISE FATIGUE. So many movies. So many books. So many episodes. The quantity increases and the quality drops. Those who don't jump ship are simply beaten into submission by the sheer volume of endless content. Many once-great franchises have been bludgeoned into mediocrity, buckling under their own weight. Join us in the 25th century as we examine this distressing phenomenon!
