A sci-fi film & television review podcast hosted by a couple eclectic weirdos transmitting from their escape pod adrift in the cosmos.

Silly, potentially informative, & potentially insightful; we discuss science fiction from across the years & the genre. Bi-weekly hosted by Ryen Eggleston and Nathan Hendler. We try to make as few bad jokes as possible.
