Welcome to The SciFi Podcast, a wretched hive of scum and villainy issuing a bi-weekly podcast focused on in-depth discussions of all things science fiction. The SciFi Podcast features four hosts—Mattroid, Nick, 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.
In this episode the hosts discuss “Bill and Ted Face the Music” as well as welcoming Mattroid back to the crew. Discussion of Nick’s pants, William’s “Loser Reviews”, Station’s gripes and Mattroid’s return from the dead fill in the gaps between takes on what the hosts make of Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted Theodore Logan’s most triumphant appearance on screen in nearly three decades.

This is the final episode with Mattroid. We share stories, we talk about The Rise of Skywalker, and we say goodbye to Matt.
Nick took this selfie the night we recorded this episode. He fell asleep and started snoring at the end… poor guy.

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.

In this episode, William Solo Jr. and Station! complete the 2-part conversation about the suggested storming of Area 51 and the existence of aliens…particularly in Nevada. Not unlike Mattroid and Sputnik in the first episode, William and Station! explore the fascinating world of alien life on earth, specifically referencing and reviewing Bob Lazar and the documentary, “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers“, among many other things. Is this the first episode of “The Parenting Podcast”? Only time will tell.

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.
Disney Plus. X-Men – Phoenix. Random verbal nonsense. Based on a season-one segment called “While You Were In the Cryochamber”, where the hosts discuss recent life events, Cryochamber episodes aim to emulate that segment while giving ample time to each host so they can discuss topics of their respective choosing. In Cryochamber 1, Nick talks Disney Plus, the highly-anticipated streaming service; it’s awesome to hear Nick’s excitement on this. Station! exposes her inner Extreme Nerd and goes full Comic Book Guy on X-Men and The Phoenix, in preparation for the upcoming movie. Mattroid basically plays referee and offers virtually nothing outside of evaluating actor Doug Jones in five words.

Also, they talk about the new Star Wars trailer and other things of much less importance.

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.
