Episode description
This week we're talking about the 2017 cli-fi movie, Geostorm!
We've got frozen deserts, exploding cities, giant tsunamis and #airlockdrama! Abi tries to understand the scientific and economic logistics of a space net while Freda just wants this movie to flush itself out of her brain. It hurts all the science parts.
"I want it dead, I want it's whole family dead, I want it down in the ground!"
