How close are we to producing sonic, electronic ball-breakers? All this and more in episode 2 of The Science of Fiction At The Movies Do you agree with the guys? Will they fry half a city with this puppy or are they on the express elevator to hell, going down!?

    Season 4 Episode 1 - Where Does The Poo Go?

    Dr Forgan returns, dragging Stu and Stobbie along with him! The guys decided to look at the science behind their favourite bad movies this season, but with last week's announcement about evidence of life on Venus, they quickly turned to looking at Aliens! (Yes, the second one). Be warned, Stu came prepared with notes... How does one survive hyper-sleep for 57 years? What stops Xenomorphs from melting from the inside out? Is this film really worth all the hype? Is Bishop a synthezoid? All of this plus much more in the first of a two-parter on Aliens. Do you agree with the guys? Have they stayed frosty or is it game over man? Get in touch at thescienceoffictionpodcast@gmail.com or find us on the socials Theme Tune by Jason Blyth Find us at fcpod.net/thescienceoffiction

    Season 3 Episode 4 - Show Me A Whale-Bear

    This week's Fiction of Science is all about Creationism. The boys ask themselves: how would they project-manage Creation? Where are the shark-bears? How can you reconcile any of this with science? (Spoiler: you can't) Do you agree with the guys? Did they manage to ruin Creationism in 7 ways or are they just blinded by evidence and knowledge?
