In this edition, we take a look at the summer’s sci-fi, look ahead to content coming in 2022 and we talk to sci-fi author C.S. Cooper about the origins of much of the sci-fi we watch.
Playstation have released a new one minute clip of underwater content for postapocalyptic technodinosaur action roleplaying game, Horizon Forbidden West.
Though it's actually content they showed last year, except this time with tutorial type info popups.
Lionsgate have released a trailer for Expired, also known as Loveland, which releases in Australia on February 10.
It's an ozzie film, with an ozzie writer / director and cast, including Ryan Kwanten of True Blood and Hugo Weaving of The Matrix and Lord of the Rings, and was filmed in part in Queensland's Brisbane and Gold Coast.
Paramount have released the official trailer for season 2 of Picard, just a few days after announcing its premiere date (March 3).

This week in Australia, Mortal Kombat, which released in cinemas last year, joined Netflix.
It's fantasy / sci-fi - there's a fellow with cybernetic arms in the trailer - and regarded as a bit of a bomb with critics but interestingly even in the midst of the COVID pandemic managed to be HBO's most successful film launch up to that point.
