Meet Your Crew
Kwinn Mitchell
HOST · PRODUCER · DIRECTOR
A USMC veteran, sci-fi author, screenwriter, visual artist, musician, actor, and advocate for animals, Kwinn brings a Gen-X outlook shaped by military service and careers in defense contracting, finance, and entertainment. To him, science fiction is more than drama dressed in fantasy; it's where stories test the limits of what's possible and what it means to exist. The best of them become keepsakes of the imagination.
Ted Walker
HOST · EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Ted has been hooked on sci-fi for more than 58 years. The original Star Trek, Space: 1999, and Battlestar Galactica defined his childhood TV, while Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the original Star Wars trilogy turned the big screen into his portal to wonder. Those stories shaped how he sees the human experience, and the question of what could be still sets his imagination ablaze.
Ruben Davila
HOST
Ruben's passion was forged by the gritty, thought-provoking films of the '80s and '90s: Blade Runner, The Terminator, Total Recall, and The Matrix. It has since grown to include comic book films and series like The X-Files and Black Mirror. He's drawn to moments that blend awe with existential reflection, from the silence of space to the moral puzzles of artificial intelligence, and he's always hunting for stories about consciousness, post-human evolution, and the mystical edge where myth meets technology.
