This week the main topic is legendary writer Harlan Ellison<\/a>. \u00a0I first talk some about Sci-Fi news and the latest happenings on TV and at the movies. \u00a0I discuss the recent “Star Wars” film announcements as well as the recent Trek news too before moving on to the main topic. \u00a0I’ve enjoyed the writings of Harlan Ellison for a very long time. \u00a0I first learned about him due to the TOS episode, “City on the Edge of Forever” – which of course is famous in that Harlan’s script and story were rewritten and he never liked what they did to his tale even though it won several awards including a Hugo. \u00a0Check out the new comic version of Harlan’s original story right HERE<\/a> for that famous episode. \u00a0I began reading his short story books in college mainly and loved his crazy imagination. \u00a0I enjoyed his commentaries such as “Ellison is Watching” which you can find on his Youtube channel now<\/a>. \u00a0He has an amazing body of work and continues to write and work to this day even though he suffered a stroke last fall. \u00a0I urge everyone to pick up one of his short story collections and read what Harlan has to say. \u00a0He is never shy with his very informed opinion and that’s what makes him so special. \u00a0I play a few clips of Harlan on the podcast including part of his reading of one of his most famous stores. \u00a0Hope you enjoy this week’s cast. \u00a0Next week Meds will be guesting with a look at the 80’s film of “Supergirl” starring Helen Slater. \u00a0Until then take care and enjoy the week ahead.<\/p>\n
