The Sci-Fi Podcast – S2E1: SLC FanX (Part One)

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.

WE ARE BACK. That’s right. After months off, yours at The Sci-Fi Podcast have opened their cryochambers and have begun to thaw. With the first 50 episodes (and numerous unnumbered episodes to boot) released, it was time to end season one and head into season two, beginning with the coverage of Salt Lake City’s comic convention, FanX.

Will there be changes? Yes there will be, and you’ll learn all about them both in this episode and the one following, but what’s most important for now are the following things:

* We have a new co-host and his name is Nick. He’s a big person with a big heart and equally large sized brain. He will be a lot of fun and provides some excellent and unique perspectives as well.

*Episodes will be shorter. Expect a tighter overall structure.

*We will be covering less newly released content in favor of properties that have been around for a little while. More on this as we release episodes.

*Our episodes are now EXPLICIT. Not horribly so, but you’ve been warned.

SLC FanX 2019.
Mattroid is joined by the Sci-Fi Podcast crew for a weekend of ultimate nerdtasticness. William learns about Facebook Live, Mattroid gets uncomfortable, Stations laughs and laughs and laughs and Nick let’s one slide. Somewhere along the line, they podcast.

THE SCI-FI PODCAST EP 36: It Came From Planet X – Time Bandits

Some movies are so strange, so bizarre, so ultimately excellent that they belong in their own pocket universe of The Sci-Fi Podcast, known as Planet X! Mattroid will be joined in each of these short episodes by a special guest and together they’ll discuss a relatively unknown movie and any number of related (and unrelated) tangents.

Another episode of It Came From Planet X, Mattroid and film guru Cody Clark drool over perhaps the most original and memorizing film to come out of the 80s — Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits.
