Welcome back to The STARLOG Podcast!
In this episode, Jordan and Dave discuss the new film The End of Oak Street, an Amblin-style dinosaur sci-fi movie that has a wild twist. Then, Jordan and Dave try to understand how a wave can, in certain conditions, move faster than light. For this week’s Starlog Archive, the letters section of yore has beef with Richard Donner’s 1978’s Superman
This week’s guest is a novelist, poet, playwright, and L. Wolff Kahn 1931 Professor Emerita of Theatre and Africana Studies at Smith College: Andrea Hairston! Jordan wants to pick her brain about her new novel The Redemption Center is Closed on Sundays. There’s a podcaster, a budding relationship between a woman and her employee, oh and there’s an interdimensional St. Berdoodle that’s going to help solve a local murder mystery in a small college town.
Next week on the podcast, we’re joined by Rodney Ascher, a filmmaker and documentarian who has made wild rides like Room 237 (2012), The Nightmare (2015), A Glitch in the Matrix (2021), and Ghost Boy (2025).
