One of the things I love about science fiction is that sometimes the oldest stories ask the most modern questions.
This week's #SciFiFri is about Frankenstein.
More than 200 years ago, Mary Shelley wrote a story about creation, responsibility, and what happens when human ambition outruns moral responsibility. It still feels surprisingly relevant in a world talking about AI every single day. Sci‑Fi Fri is built around the idea that science fiction isn't really about technology, it's about human choices and what those choices reveal about us.
Honestly, that's why I (and the rest of the world) keep coming back to stories like this.
The technology changes, but human nature doesn't.
Give the episode a watch and let me know:
How do we make responsibility advance as fast as innovation?
And if you're into thoughtful sci‑fi adventures, I'd love for you to check out my upcoming novel Dragonborne at:

New #SciFiFri! This week I take a look at Godzilla Minus One and why its most powerful battle not against a giant monster. It's a story about courage, sacrifice, guilt, and discovering the value of a human life.

Also, for more monster mayhem with soul, check out worldofdragonborne.com for my upcoming novel."

What does a hero/mentor/parent/friend have to be willing to give?
Science fiction is filled with characters who put someone else’s life, future, and well-being before their own.
Here are my top ten sci-fi sacrifices.
The video contains spoilers!

Which moment would make your list? What did I leave off?

"Don't make films." That was the advice. 😅

It's not wrong. The odds are brutal. So I built a 3-part mindset framework to actually survive them. Calling it the "Triple T" Mindset.

Full video coming soon. Follow so you don't miss it. 🎥

I saw Pacific Rim THREE TIMES in theaters. ‼️‼️‼️
Twice BY MYSELF. ‼️
Why? ❓

Because sometimes bombast has soul.

James Cameron's The Abyss uses underwater aliens, Cold War tensions, and crushing pressure to ask a surprisingly timeless question: when we're pushed to our limits, do we become more fearful... or more humane? In this episode of Sci-Fi Fri, we explore the character, worldbuilding, and themes beneath the surface of one of sci-fi's most thoughtful first-contact stories (SPOILERS!). Bonus: it may have more in common with The Day the Earth Stood Still than most people think...

🚀 What would you do if you had a time machine?
Would you fix a mistake in your past? Peek into the future (and play the winning lotto numbers)?
H.G. Wells used The Time Machine to ask: If we continue down our current path, where will it lead?
This week's Sci-Fi Fri explores the novel, the film adaptations, and why great science fiction is often a cautionary tale disguised as an adventure.
👇 If The Time Machine were remade today, what future would it show us?
