Josh and Craig celebrate the science fiction that they love! Each week, one host pitches the other (and the listeners) on a sci-fi movie, show, comic, or novel that they know and love, and that the other host has never experienced. This is not a recap show, and snark is kept to a minimum (although juvenile humor is not).

X-Men: Days of Future Past (Season Finale)

Jul 04 2024 36 mins  
Our Season 1 ends with a blast from the past, in the form of the 2014 time travel flick, X-Men: Days of Future Past. We'll take a deepish dive into the world of comic book movies, while dancing around the implied question: "is Josh having never read a single comic book an even greater geek-cred scarlet letter than Craig having never watched Deep Space Nine?"

The Orville

Jun 27 2024 29 mins  
On the penultimate episode of Season One we're talking about The Orville, Seth McFarlane's actually-really-good Star Trek pastiche/vanity project that has been compared favorably with contemporary Trek (mostly in good faith, but sometimes not so much). On the way, we'll pay tribute to some of the other great sci-fi parodies that walked so The Orville could fly at "quantum speed" (w

Cowboy Bebop

Jun 20 2024 23 mins  
This week, a conversation about the beloved late-90s Japanese space western Cowboy Bebop exposes just how completely unqualified our distinguished hosts are to talk about anime. Fortunately, that's never stopped them before, and it's not going to stop them now. Enjoy!

Star Trek: Discovery

Jun 13 2024 30 mins  
On today's episode, we stand resolute against Nerd Rage to take a balanced look at an ambitious show that got plenty of things right, plenty more wrong, and ultimately may not have been written for crusty old Trek fans like us in the first place. Later we'll ask the question: If Star Trek: Picard gave Jean Luc a chance to process his trauma, surely we also deserve a Star Trek: O'Br

Fallout

Jun 06 2024 24 mins  
This week it's Fallout--a show about a fictional apocalypse, brought to you by the company that will probably bring about the real one. We sing the praises of the great Walton Goggins, Craig makes a surprisingly coherent comparison to the film Amadeus, and Josh reveals himself to know only slightly more about video games than he does about comics.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

May 30 2024 31 mins  
On today’s episode, Craig stands in for all the 80s and 90s kids who loved TNG but never got into DS9, while Josh makes the case that it’s never too late to start watching the BEST STAR TREK SERIES EVER (FIGHT ME). Later, we compare Trills favorably to both the Goa’uld and to John Malkovich’s head portal. It's a very special episode (but not a "Very Special Episode"--like,

Highlander

May 23 2024 21 mins  
This week we're testing the limits of what we can call sci-fi with the 1986 Connery classic, Highlander, but apparently a sequel retcons that the Highlanders are aliens (?) so we're probably good. Also, this movie *probably* isn't a prequel to The Rock, but we still spend a significant chunk of the episode talking about it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Total Recall

May 16 2024 23 mins  
This week we talk about the great 1990 Verhoeven/Schwarzenegger film Total Recall, plus another bombshell revelation about Craig's Trek-nerd bona fides (or lack thereof?)

Misfits

May 09 2024 23 mins  
Craig can't resist a subversive, crude, anti-superhero story, which means the 2009 U.K. sci-fi dramedy series Misfits is right up his alley. Josh does his best to go off on every tangent possible, but to no avail; the appeal of Misfits is undeniable.

Dark Matter

May 02 2024 31 mins  
On today's episode we're talking about Dark Matter, yet another Syfy show that was cancelled on a tantalizing cliffhanger. Seriously, why do they keep doing that?!
