Episode 374: Wheel of Time Season 3 Part 1

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast

Episode 374: Wheel of Time Season 3 Part 1 The show loosely based on David’s favorite fantasy series The Wheel of Time is back for its third season. This week we will be covering the first half of season three, and this season does not disappoint. Season three feels almost like a brand new show the VFX game has leveled up and while not 100 percent book accurate the show is making strides to more closely adhere to the lore of the source material and that is a welcome change. The Wheel of Time has finally found its legs based on the first half of this season. Let's hope the second...

Episode 372: Dune Prophecy

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast

Episode 372: Dune Prophecy What happens when you take a blockbuster movie and make an HBO Max series set 1200 years before said movie? You get Dune Prophecy, a show seemingly for no one. If you saw the Denis Villeneuve movies and decides to check out the show you were probably lost much like Brian was this week. David having read some of the books was a bit less lost. Did anyone watch this show? If you did please let us know what you thought.

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast

Episode 371: Star Trek Lower Decks Season 5 This week we get back to our Star Trek roots to discuss the final season of Lower Decks! Star Trek has been in a dark ages under the cruel yoke of Alex Kurtzman but Lower Decks has been the one bright jewel of the new trek shows that actually feels like Star Trek. It is a bitter sweet episode of Synthaholics as one of our favorite newer shows has come to an end.

Episode 370: Starship Troopers

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast

Episode 370: Starship Troopers The holidays are over but our discussion on Paul Verhoeven is not! This week we got into his big budget sci-fi film Starship Troopers. It is pretty incredible the last few podcasts have been on movies directed by the same man and they are all vastly different and strange in their own way. Going into this David was surprised to find what film of these three is the most rewatchable. Too bad Brain didn't watch the most rewatchable of the three films. In David’s head canon the three Paul Verhoeven films we’ve podcasted on are all part of the same...

Episode 369: Showgirls

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast

Episode 369: Showgirls It’s that time of year again, the winter holidays like Christmas! In honor of the holiday and the number 369 we decided to get you the gift that unwraps itself Showgirls! We have long time listener and former guest Tawnya joining David this week as Brian is nowhere to be found for some reason? This movie was way better than I remember it being though it was quite strange at times. It has been 300 episodes since we’ve done a horny episode. You've waited long enough! Enjoy our podcast on Showgirls the next of our trip through Paul Verhoeven's catalog. If...

Episode 368: RoboCop

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast

Episode 368: RoboCop Let’s take a ride back to 1987 with the original Paul Verhoeven film RoboCop! A classic film that David had never seen all the way through until this week. Yes shame on him but better late than never right? While not a deep film this is a great blast from the past. If Paul Verhoeven wanted to make a deep film he would have made a movie about a showgirl, or maybe RoboDetective! Remember toxic waste? RoboCop remembers! If there is a show or movie you’d like us to discuss you can leave a comment or email us at [email protected] or leave a...

Episode 367: Gladiator

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast

Episode 367: Gladiator It is time to take a break from season two's of television. This week we go back in time to the year 2000 to discuss the Ridley Scott classic Gladiator starring Russel Crowe and Joaquin Pheonix. It was definitely wonderful to take a look back at such a classic early 2000’s film. It really feels like they don’t make movies like this anymore. This movie is old hat for David as he saw this film back when it opened in theaters and for Brian this was his very first viewing of this film. Thank you History Buffs youtube who made a great background on the...

Episode 366: Wheel of Time Season 2

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast

Episode 366: Wheel of Time Season 2 It's the season of season two's sorry we are a little late to the party on the Wheel of Time Season 2 but it works well with all the other fantasy shows that have been happening lately. This season of Wheel of Time combines parts of book 2 and book 3 into a single season. Is this season more successful than the first? We have to say yes. Is it a great adaptation of the source material? Well that's something different all together. Did you watch The Wheel of Time? If so let us know! If there is a show or movie you’d like us to discuss you...

Episode 365: Rings of Power Season 2

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast

Episode 365: Rings of Power Season 2 This week the Synthaholics sit down to discuss yet another second season of a tv show. This time it's season two of the most expensive show ever made, Rings of Power! If you remember our review of Rings of Power season 1 we are not kind to the show. Did Rings of Power Season 2 do anything to redeem itself or has it continued its dive into the never ending abyss? Did you watch season 2? What did you think? Before closing Brian and I discuss Tolkien’s thoughts on a possible Lord of the Rings screenplay that was written during his lifetime. ...
