Andrew takes a nerdy dive into the pop culture real and fictional that's made its way into the world of Red Dwarf...
Creating culture within science-fiction can be tricky. It’s potentially alienating, with the audience required to understand allusions without a reference point. Then again, if you throw in too many contemporary references, the future starts to look dated pretty quickly. Red Dwarf has walked that fine line, building its own stars and entertainment but chucking in the familiar, just to keep the world grounded. We take a look at humanity’s future culture as seen through the eyes of Lister, Rimmer, Cat, Kryten and Holly.

The Blue Bloods season finale may not air until May 5th but there was little doubt that Blue Bloods Season 7 Episode 20 was laying the foundation for an epic showdown.
Perhaps even the end of Frank Reagan’s tenure as Police Commissioner of the NYPD.
I knew things weren’t going to go well when Frank and Garrett were left waiting for the Mayor for over 20 minutes.
Did the man literally sneak out the back door just so he didn’t have to face Frank, or was his second in command, Carlton, really that inept?
Then, Mr. Mayor, what the hell were you thinking when you personally called the presiding judge at seven fourteen this morning on the Jasper case and got bail squashed?
