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 three hosts—Mattroid, Solo, 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.
The entire planet has been shocked by Marvel’s Black Panther. From a cultural standpoint the film’s impact is clear and impressive. How does it far as a superhero movie? Station! and Mattroid discuss the film’s technical side before William joins them for a lengthy discussion on the cultural merits of the movie and more. Head to the comments section for your take.
Station! leaves Mattroid and William to chat about Annihilation–she hadn’t seen it yet–and the two get into a spoiler-heavy discussion of the film. A true hard-sci-fi thriller, Mattroid and William agree on much, disagree on some, and leave most of it up you, the listener and viewer, to determine for yourself. What are your thoughts on the movie? Let us know in the comments.
