Anthony T's got to stop with these "one episode per month" issue. It it wasn't his fault this month as he was caught up in Wrestlemania and Blumhousemania fever. In this edition, he talks about Jason Blum and Lionsgate's desire to remake "The Blair Witch Project" which he doesn't like at all. Then Anthony T gives his thoughts on the two night wrestling extravaganza known as Wrestlemania XL, or how Dwayne needed to be part of the main event on night one. Then in "What's Anthony T's Watching", he reviews Blumhouse Productions latest film about a killer pool. Sounds like the plot of a B-Movie, yet it did hit theaters in 2024.

On location at the Pop Culture Association (PCA) National Conference in Chicago, I met with Sherry Ginn, PhD, the current PCA president. Dr. Ginn is an impressive pop culture and science fiction scholar and I’m grateful that we were able to sit down and talk about our mutual interests in television and the impact of women in society.  Our discussion includes the evolution of science fiction in popular culture, the legacy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the problem with Dollhouse, female representation and role models, feminism, diversity, inclusion, norm breaking, and the special challenges created by male writers and showrunners in science fiction.    As a tireless editor and author, Dr. Ginn combines her love of sci-fi with her expertise in neuroscience research and psychology. Her written work presents thoughtful analyses on a range of previously under-explored topics such as women in science fiction television and sex in science fiction. Dr. Ginn has written or edited works featuring Doctor Who, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Farscape, Fringe, and Dollhouse, among others.
