As always, we’re taking one small step from “what is,” but which “what could be” did we end up in this time? Is that...a camera? Case Aiken from the Certain POV podcast network joins Alan to talk about 1998’s “The Truman Show,” a movie that might not seem like sci-fi at first, but just think about the (virtual) reality of it all.

As always, we’re taking one small step from “what is,” but which “what could be” did we end up in this time? Is that...a camera? Case Aiken from the Certain POV podcast network joins Alan to talk about 1998’s “The Truman Show,” a movie that might not seem like sci-fi at first, but just think about the (virtual) reality of it all.

One potato, two potato, three potato, Mars! Jim "JimboFett" Fetters from the "Long Live the Legion!" podcast joins Alan and our regular Jim to talk about 2015's "The Martian." Matt Damon sure needs a lot of rescuing, doesn't he?

What’s that blue police box in the corner? Why, it’s…not the TARDIS you think it is. Alan, Jim, Derek, and Drew come together to talk about the Doctor Who movie that isn’t like any other: 1965’s “Dr. Who and the Daleks.”

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It's…not the movie you think it is. Join Alan, Jim, and Drew as they discuss a different story of a man doing good things on another planet: 2012’s “John Carter,” based on the classic and influential Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

They know kung fu! Or do they? Alan, Jim, and Drew discuss the 1999 blockbuster, “The Matrix,” without having to dodge a hail of slow-motion bullets. But which pill did they take? Tune in to find out! Neo to the left of me, Morpheus to the right, here I am….

Is it a dream? Is it a nightmare? No, it’s a reality that Adam returns to discuss 1998’s “Dark City” with Alan and Jim. Listen in as we talk about places that are altered nightly and locales that no one can remember how to get to, and places to find a copy of this cult classic.

ACK ACK! ACK! Alan, Jim, and Derek look on and comment while "Mars Attacks!" in the Tim Burton film inspired by (but certainly not based on) the trading card series that debuted way back in the early 1960s. The trio covers a variety of ACK ACK ACK! ACK ACK!

When their time machine goes off-course, Alan, Jim, and Derek discuss a “blast” from the past: the original “Godzilla” from 1954, which introduced a new kind of movie monster for the Atomic Age.

Number nine…. Number nine…. Number nine…. Wait, what’s this podcast turning into? For that matter, what are your hosts turning into? Wander down an alternate timeline for 28 years as Alan, Jim, and Drew discuss 2009’s "District 9," where maybe a reference to the Beatles’ White Album is fitting after all.

Our recent episode covered the film "Blade Runner." Much has been written about the movie and its influence on science fiction, both cinematic and literary. If you'd like to know more about the film, its literary roots, its development, and its lasting impact, here are some titles to get you started.

Watch out! Alan’s speeding with scissors around Jim, and Derek’s coming from the future, so they can all talk about the sci-fi classic, Blade Runner. But which version of the movie are they talking about? The oft-maligned original theatrical version or the Final (and perhaps unkindest) Cut? Maybe both and more?

In the mid-1980s, some of Japan's most talented animators came together to create Robot Carnival, a feature film anthology of eight short films loosely tied together with a robotics theme. Join Alan, Jim, PJ, Drü, and Drew in a long but fun discussion about the influential anime feature.

They may not be celestial bodies, but they can discuss them, and we’re not talking about Sam Rockwell. Alan, Jim, and Brent get lunar–or is that loony?–talking about 2009’s Moon.
