Sci-fi Cross Sections

The bois took a week off so you get some content that's been gathering dust in our Patreon! Ben & Bill sit down to dissect the very dense third season of the hit HBO sci-fi drama Westworld. The bois talk determinism (again), identity, free will, and the destruction of the human race. Needless to say, it's a fantastic conversation.

We've covered The Terminator and Terminator: Dark Fate, but somehow we've never talked about Terminator 2: Judgement Day, until now! Taste for Adventure's own Judge Aaron joins us to talk about his favorite movie of all time, action sci-fi as a genre, and if a machine can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.

The bois take a deep look at A Quiet Place Part II. We discuss our personal connections to the film, get deep into the sci-fi elements, and even suggest this sequel may be better than the original.

Spoilers ahead! The bois finally do our first episode about Mass Effect! We reflect on our history with the franchise, ponder what could have been (and could still be), and only scratch the surface of this massive series. With special guest, Kyle Holmes!

The bois talk about the 2002 commercial & critical success Minority Report for Jason's birthday! We get back into an eyerolling discussion of determinism, the history of the film, and ponder how much better this already good movie could have been if it wasn't directed by Steven Spielberg.

After many long years, the bois finally sit down to dissect (for some) one of our favorite sci-fi films of all time, Blade Runner 2049. We break down the sci-fi industry, the thematic layers in the film, and even some expanded universe content as we go on our journey to learn what it truly means to be human.

The bois catapult into space to talk about Netflix's Stowaway! Humanism vs utilitarianism is a major theme in this new thriller that has the bois talking about what it means to be human & considering our own mortality.

Colin & Ben talk about the highs & lows of Snowpiercer season 2, what they expect for season 3, and the very dumb science this season tried to sell us.

Hot off the heels of a great cast about a great movie, the bois decide to ruin the mood with the new sci-fi film Voyagers, in theaters now!

After 100 episodes dedicated to everything science fiction, the bois take a moment to reflect on the past before looking to the distant future of 2001 to talk about & dissect the granddaddy of sci-fi films.
