Sci-fi Talk

This episode features an in‑depth conversation with filmmaker and author Kenneth Johnson, one of the most influential creative voices in science fiction television. Johnson’s work reshaped how genre stories could explore human nature, social conflict, and moral complexity. From redefining Marvel’s The Incredible Hulk for television to creating the landmark alien‑invasion saga V, his career has consistently blended spectacle with emotional and philosophical depth. In this interview, we also focus on his return to the world of V through his novel V: The Second Coming—a continuation of his original vision that expands the mythology, deepens the characters, and reflects on the themes that made V a cultural touchstone.
