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.
Capes, caps and claws – it’s superheroes against superheroes, with nothing but principled beliefs standing in the way of maximum carnage. Did your favorite superhero show in one of these movies? Did these movies flop or fly with you? Let us know in the comments section, below.

For pure irony sake, I’m going to choose to believe that the friend that bragged about listening to the audio books was in actuality Brain.
I WISH that was me! I’ve only had time to read two books and listen to two this year that aren’t text books. The Martian, I both read and listened to. Bloodline (Star Wars) I listened to, it’s awesome. And I’ve read the first two books in the somethingsomething trilogy, the one that starts with The Three Body Problem and The Dark Forest, very cool scifi books.
Ha ha ha, nah, not Brain. I edited out some of the other stuff because we didn’t want him to hear it and think we were getting after him too much for it all…but man, it was awkward.
While I haven’t seen either movie yet, I have finally got around to watching the MCU Phase 1. I posted some thoughts on those movies here:

Mattroid – Kyle Raynor (Green Lantern)
Station – Hawk Girl
Brain – The Atom
Solo – Martian Manhunter
Space Wolf – The Question
Solid! Station! is totally Hawkgirl.
I prefer the John Jones or Hal Jordan versions though.
You are Kyle! Get over it… it’s the “artist” vibe I get from you that informs my decision. I did not make these comparisons lightly but with great care and furious anger those who attempt.. . Wait. What? Nevermind
id say station is selina kyle and william is mr freeze.
another sweet episode. i love the banter on this one!
Okay, so here’s a question- While BVS was an unmitigated disappointment for many fans, is there still hope for the DC Hero Franchise? Specifically- should we look forward to Ben Affleck’s future run in Batman? Is Aquaman going to be interesting enough? Gal Gadot did manage to shine onscreen in the role of Wonder Woman, but will her origin story be good enough to turn things around for DC?
i liked affleck and think his batman could be really good. but the overall dc universe is in trouble i think. they seem to be not at all on the same page with stuff. i mean nothing will be terrible probably but nothing will be amazing either. i like the marvel stuff alot but the dc movies arent my thing, even though its the other way around with the comics.
so yeah i am nervous for the next dc movies. wonder woman was badass though so i hope her movie rules.
