About the Two Old Farts
Two Old Farts Talk Sci-Fi is a podcast that premiered on Saturday, April 3, 2021, and will run every other Saturday night. Starting with Season 3, there will be 2-month breaks between seasons.
Two Old Farts Talk Sci-Fi will bring you back to when you first fell in love with the genre. Troy and David will talk about what brought them to science fiction, fantasy, horror, and all the other genres of the speculative realm, whether that be the written word or movies, TV, theatre, comic books and graphic novels, whatever the format. If it can’t happen in real life, it may be brought up.

What is it that first brought you to love the things that could not happen?
Listen to Troy and David reminisce mostly about the ’60s and ’70s, and ’80s, but don’t be surprised if Metropolis or the 1933 King Kong movie is referenced, R.U.R., and stuff after the ’80s up to yesterday. And what is happening now. And what may happen in the future. Most episodes will be themed (for example: horror movies of the 60s; time travel, Ray Bradbury; the 1968 Planet of the Apes film; Shakespeare in Star Trek; to name a few). There will be occasional special guests who are experts in the topic being discussed.
