YES ABI ROBERT PICARDO DID HIS OWN VOICE WORK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD8dx48A2Go See at 10:20 for "evidence" . In other news, this episode is on Innerspace and it is our least prepared episode to date (basicallly, unprepared). With Abi off to a conference and Freda making a Doctor Strange cosplay, these women aren't sleeping and this episode is the result. Fair warning: The proportion of movie chat to science content is high, but we talk Inside The Body and Functional Neurological Disor...

Idiocracy (2006) Welcome to a future where advertising and automation rule the day and a Carls Jr can decide if you're an unfit mother. Capitalism! Are we heading for an idiocracy? We're talking cryogenics is a scam, to have or not to have children, natural selection doesn't do that, eugenics=bad, the curse of terrible automation and the fear of a pseudo-intellectual future.

Airships (why DID they go out of fashion???), balloon flights, crazy airplane men, dog upgrades...this movie is a romp yet the episode is surprisingly dark. .

This movie was a sure fire hit on the podcast...or at least that's what Abi thought would happen. But divided we fall! Despite having another movie clash, we nerd out hard about this cast, the quantum mechanics madness of a many words multiverse and at the end of the day, everybody loves Waymond.

It's episode 5/5 of our Teenage Dirtbag miniseries! Grease is the darkest happy movie we ever saw. Revisiting this one is a hoot. Jan really wasn't fat at all, Rizzo thinks being easy is not as bad as being coy or stealing for that matter (there's worse things she can do y'all), everyone is too hard on Frenchie and the biggest effort Danny seems to go to is putting on a cardigan. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Angels & Demons (2009) Antimatter bombs, the god particle, science vs religon! This movie has it all! A bioentanglement physicist (what even is that?), a daredevil symbologist (why did TH do this to us 3 times!), a scottish/italian/irish helicopter flying priest, a murdered pope, a conspiracy, a secret society! I mean what else do you want from Ron Howard! Even the science isn't that off! What is happening? Ok but seriously, the movie is dumb and no we don't forgive Tom Hanks! "Scientists ne...

**THE ANTARCTICA TREATY WILL EXPIRE IN 2048** The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty was signed in 1991 and came into effect in 1998. In Article 25, it cites a 50-year expiration date. If another protocol is not agreed upon, there is nothing stopping countries from seizing and occupying Antarctic land without any restrictions on protecting this precious environment. Antarctica is already under threat from Global Warming and science must continue to monitor changes and d...

This week, we take a look at the 1972 classic, Silent Running, where a very serious Bruce Dern plays an annoying vegan who commits eco-terrorism but can't live with the guilt of his actions. Tell us we're wrong? With a teeny budget of ONE MILLION DOLLARS, this movie has it all: Joan Baez crooning as Bruce Dern eats a melon, bilateral amputees playing loveable drones (never done before or since) and most importantly, microwave button pushers which definitely became a thing and definitely do not d...

Ok ok, we love a disaster movie, we relish it even! We've been waiting for this one for quite some time...was it worth the wait? Breaking down how insanely wrong the science is would take a lifetime that we do not have! But if you want to jump on in we're talking hollow moon, megastructures, dyson spheres, white dwarfs, falling moons and the origin of life itself! There's some cool shots of the Endeavour though.... If anything, it's hilarious. "Don't worry, there's a Megastructurist on board! Ti...
