Since the beginning of time, probably, man has argued whether things are broadly considered too popular or not popular enough, which in 2019 equates to something being overrated or underrated. In few cases is this more evident than in movies, particularly genre movies, like sci-fi, horror or fantasy.

In this episode, your hosts discuss their respective choices for most overrated and most underrated sci-fi movies. Will you agree with their choices? Violently disagree? Will you, too, be triggered? Let us know.

Live from the van! Mattroid, Station!, William Solo Jr. and guest Sharon discuss their reactions to the movie, immediately after departing the theater. Nick saw the movie an hour earlier in a different city and therefore was unable to join the crew, but always one to please he had his own reaction (and hilarious story!) sent over before the end of the night, and it’s been added on to the beginning of this episode.

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.
