July 19, 2018 Ep. 21 - Annihilation
What's up nerds!!

You better strap on your civilian-issued(??) automatic weapons and stock up on rations, because you're about to enter the Shimmer on our FAR TOO LONG review of the science in Annihilation!
We cover some of the science of genetics and mutagenesis, and discuss what it takes to turn a person into a plant-person.

In two weeks, we're gonna sit down to watch "Ex Machina," and talk about artificial intelligence! Hit us with questions over @reelsciencecast on Twitter, on our Facebook page, or at [email protected]!

July 04, 2018 Ep. 20 - Life
Good evening, scientists!
We're dropping into your atmosphere on America's birthday to bring you the swan song of Jake Gyllenhaal's career as an astronaut, in the 2017 science fiction horror flick "Life." The boys cover some science on single cells, how organisms react in a vacuum, and come down hard on Team Spooky Space Squid.

Look for us again in two weeks when we come at you with the science of "Blindness!" Hit us up on Facebook, @reelsciencecast on Twitter, and at [email protected] with some questions on sight and lack thereof, and we'll answer them on the show!

June 20, 2018 Ep. 19 - Cast Away
Hail and well met you good, good science people!
We covered a doozy of a film this week when we watched Cast Away, featuring the beautiful and talented Tom Hanks and the snarky volleyball Wilson. In this episode, we tell you why Tom Hanks should have died on this island and why coconut milk is probably the greatest laxative and nutritional supplement known to mankind.
Look out for our next episode two weeks from now when we’ll be covering Life, which is sure to leave you star-struck as we discuss biogenesis and life on that red, red planet we call Mars. Also starring tiny boy Jake Gyllenhaal and sexy boy Ryan Reynolds.
As always, feel free to send us any questions, science-related or not, to @reelsciencecast on Twitter, via email at [email protected], or on our Facebook page!
We love you.

What's up science nerds!

Join us next week for the thrilling reunification of the boyz, when we cover...Cast Away?! I leave for one episode and these guys saddle us with Cast Away? Ugh, okay I guess we're doing this.

Woah, hey nerds, I didn't see you there.

Come on in, slip those Birkenstocks off and have a seat on our...bean bag chair?

This week, we cover the science of your favorite Arbor Day plant as we watched Reefer Madness, and discuss the chronic affliction clouding the minds of America's youth. We cover some of the more popular ways of THC delivery, the currently understood effects of marijuana use on the body, and Sean and Kennon hold a brief seance to get the unique perspective of something called a "weed ghost."

Join us again in two weeks, as we watch Bradley Cooper get wicked turnt on smart pills, in the movie Limitless! Send us your questions over @reelsciencecast on Twitter, at [email protected], or on our Facebook page!

April 11, 2018 Ep. 14 - Contact
Greetings earthlings!

Strap into your very own weird ball machine and help us guide Jodie Foster through a world of radio science, a dash of physics, and men who are garbage to women in the 1997 sci-fi epic "Contact!"

We attempt to siphon what science discussion we can out of a movie that you lovely listeners shanghaied us into watching, while managing to somehow make this a longer episode.

Keep an eye on our feed for a special announcement for the next episode, and feel free to preload some of the dankest questions you can think of over at @reelsciencecast, [email protected], or one our Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/reelsciencecast/!

Happy Wednesday friends!

Get ready for a trip down memory lane, as we sit down this week and discuss Christopher Nolan's 2000 brain blaster, "Memento!"

Special guest Caesar Hernandez joins us to give Pace some back-up, so we can break down the science of memory and amnesia. Sean and Kennon remain utterly useless.

In two weeks, we'll be watching Jodie Foster's Big Space Adventure, or "Contact!" So get us some questions @reelsciencecast or over email at [email protected]!
