See You Next Week ...in Space!

Were you blown away by Squid Game? Then you may want to check out this week’s episode. Sarah and Amy chat about another South Korean series, Sisyphus: The Myth (2021-present). Certainly less intense than SG, but still delivers all that you want from a polished scifi drama especially if what you want is time paradoxes.

Get ready for a true 80s classic: My Stepmother is an Alien (1988)! Here we see that a beautiful woman can not only get into top secret government facilities, she can also get married and find a fulfilling relationship in less than 48 hours. And watch out for all the lewks!!!

To ease Amy’s return to pure scifi content, Sarah chose something short. It was a real treat to discover that the long-running animated series Archer (2009-present) did a whole season of scifi spoofs. Get ready for some major discussion of the gals’ egg preferences!

It’s officially Halloween!!! And, in honor of the most important holiday of the year, the gals talk about a scifi horror comedy classic: Re-Animator (1985). What do they learn? Probably best to accept it when people die.

We’re back at it with a mad scientist who doesn’t know when to take no for an answer as the gals discuss Black Box (2020). How important are your memories to you and what would you do to get them back? Science can help, if you have no scruples!

The hits just keep on coming for spooky season and this week the gals talk about American Horror Story’s (2011-present) latest season. The real question of the week: what would you be willing to do to build on your natural talent? Turns out, some people will do basically anything.

It’s officially Halloween season and the gals at SYNWiS couldn’t be more pleased! For the next four weeks, Amy will be selecting the scifi horror shows and movies that make your skin crawl. This week’s movie, The Wasp Woman (1959), truly does not disappoint and Sarah may never be the same again.

What would you do if you lost all of your memories? Would you become a totally new person? Or would your bad habits show up all the same? This week the gals consider this weighty question with the contemporary sci-fi series Dark Matter (2015-2017).

This week the gals return to talking about movies with a real 90s family classic: Multiplicity (1996). Listen to discover just how good at acting against himself Michael Keaton is and just how awful it turns out having clones makes a person behave.

This week we conclude our exploration of 80s scifi sitcoms with a real stinker: Out of This World (1987-1991). Despite having some awesome 80s hair and outfits, we learn that even some of the most powerful nostalgia can curdle.
