To the moon and beyond! In this episode, we chat with horror, sci-fi, and fantasy author Pedro Iniguez about his Bram Stoker nominated poetry collection, Mexicans on the Moon: Speculative Poetry from a Possible Future. We discuss the importance of representation and inclusivity within the sci-fi and horror genres, the unique, four-part structure of Mexicans on the Moon, the themes of the collection, which range from scathing indictments of our current reality to wistful future imaginings of life on moons and other planets to eco-horror, artificial intelligence, spaghettification, and more.

You can pick up a copy of Mexicans on the Moon anywhere you get books! Purchase or order a copy at your local indie bookstore, or order one online from:

Pod People, have we got a discussion for you! We recount our adventures attending Labyrinth in Concert and Saw the Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw before diving into a conversation about Pascal Plante's Red Rooms. We chat about the real-world court case that inspired the film, crime fandom, the assumptions we made about Kelly-Anne's motives during our first watches, and that incredible score composed by the director's brother, Dominique Plante.
