The Sci-Fi Podcast - S2E9: EVERYONE IS TRIGGERED!
Welcome to The SciFi Podcast, a wretched hive of scum and villainy a bi-weekly podcast focused on in-depth discussions of all things science fiction. The SciFi Podcast features four hosts—Mattroid, Solo, Nick and Station!—and frequent guests. Each episode we look at a science fiction theme or franchise and take the discussion where no show has gone before. Since the beginning of time, probably, man has argued whether things are broadly considered too popular or not popular enough, which in 2019 equates to something being overrated or underrated. In few cases is this more evident than in movies, particularly genre movies, like sci-fi, horror or fantasy. In this episode, your hosts discuss their respective choices for most overrated and most underrated sci-fi movies. Will you agree with their choices? Violently disagree? Will you, too, be triggered? Let us know.

In this episode, Mattroid and Sputnik poke fun at all those people foolish enough--or perhaps brave enough?--to storm the infamous and mystifying Area 51 military base. For those not in the know, social media took people to task and a few people started the campaign to give everyone what they want: the truth about aliens and the US Government's involvement. Mulder would be so proud. What are your thoughts? Station! and Solo will be adding their own ideas and comments on this subject and will expand on it with other related content as well, in part 2 of this subject, coming soon.

Arnie made his return as the titular character but sadly that wasn't enough for fans to rally for, and the franchise appeared to be doomed. But! James Cameron wasn't about to let that happen.

The Sci-Fi Podcast: Episode 41 - Bad Earth: Part One
Welcome to The SciFi Podcast, a wretched hive of scum and villainy a bi-weekly podcast focused on in-depth discussion of all things science fiction. The SciFi Podcast features four hosts—Mattroid, Solo, Brain, and Station!—and frequent guests. Each episode we look at a science fiction theme or franchise and take the discussion where no show has gone before. Every now and then a terrible sci-fi movie comes out and stuns audiences for years; sometimes a sci-fi movie comes out and polarizes audiences, leaving some dumbfounded while others are awe-struck; sometimes these movies become cult-classics and other times they are buried at the bottom of the dollar-bin at your local superstore. Here we've got movies that reflect on Earth in the distant future; how things may be different, may be the same, or may be kooky as hell with weird things going on for no apparent reason. There’s so much to discuss, and we want to hear your thoughts about these movies, so check the comments section and leave your own. Theme music courtesy of i hear sirens, featuring Matt on bass and Liz on keyboard. Hear more of i hear sirens ethereal, instrumental, post-rock at . Podcast production and artwork by Mattroid.
