Episode 381: Showdown War of the Worlds 1953 VS 2025
Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast
Episode 381: Showdown War of the Worlds 1953 VS 2025 This week it's a movie showdown! We put the 1953 War of the Worlds VS the 2025 War of the Worlds. Which will win the classic film or the modern direct to streaming Ice Cube led film? After Legend and Mission Impossible we decided to spare you from another Tom Cruise film so we skipped the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds. Maybe the real War of the Worlds was the radio production all along? But as always 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...

Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast
Episode 380: Dumpster Dive Legend 1985 We have a new intro and now we are working on a newish format. We are bringing back the dumpster dive as well as a few other types of shows to add some organization to the chaos that is Synthaholics. This week’s dumpster dive we are tackling the 1985 “film” Legend starring Mission Impossible's Tom Cruise and directed by Ridley Scott. Legend was Ridley Scott's wanting to make his own original fairy tale. Does it succeed? Did it fail? Tune in to find out. But as always if there is a show or movie you’d like us to discuss you can leave a...

Episode 377: Star Trek First Contact
Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast
Episode 377: Star Trek First Contact We are back after an unexpected impromptu summer break. It’s been a while since we’ve touched on Star Trek and since 90% of Brian’s Star Trek knowledge comes from lower decks I thought it would be good to have him watch Star Trek First Contact since the film was heavily referenced in one of the episodes of Lower Decks. This strategy seems to have worked so other future Star Trek discussions will likely have a tie into lower decks. I think Brian’s perspective on Star Trek from a Lower Decks first approach is an interesting one. First day...

Episode 376: Wheel of Time season 3 part 2 With the third season of the Wheel of Time rolling to a close we are able to bring you the second half of our review for the latest season of The Wheel of Time. Season three is a massive improvement upon season one and season two and if seasons one and two were as strong as this season I think we would have known by now if season 4 is green lit. As of this moment the show’s fate is in Amazon’s hands. With how much the show improved this season we are very much hoping for a fourth season. What did you think of this season of The Wheel...

Episode 375: Invincible Season 3
Synthaholics: A Sci Fi Podcast
Episode 375: Invincible Season 3 Invincible is already back for a third season. Are you as surprised as we are? Not that it's a bad thing that we have a new season, it just feels like it wasn't nearly as long a wait as it was for season 2. We haven't read the comic if you have, please let us know how the show holds up compared to the comic. Have there been big cuts? We really enjoyed season 3. It felt like a much more complete season than season 2. 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 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...
info_outlineEpisode 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!
