    8. Gattaca EXPOSED + we guess each others PhD projects!

    Hey So Cultured fammm! IT’S THE LAST EPISODE OF THE SERIES…CRY!!!!! In this final week we are exposing a less known Sci Fi film (imo anyway)… GATTACA! Now I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is probably the most scientifically accurate film as it dives into the world of genetically edited babies and a dystopian future where your class depends on whether you’re ‘In utero’ or ‘In vitro’. Is it realistic? Is the science accurate? Could we be looking at genetically modified humans in the future? Based on our research… it’s already happened! Listen in to find out. Not only that but we are back with the listener favourite,LaboraTEA time. As you may well know, we always do something a little bit different in the final ep of the series. This week we are guessing eachothers PhD projects based on the title alone. So, if you want to join us in trying to guess what eachothers PhDs involved, then listen till the end!   Have your own LaboraTEA to share for next season?

    6. The Meg EXPOSED + we cheated on our exams...

    Episode 6 will take us beneath the waves… Today we will be exploring the scientific accuracies… and inaccuracies of The Meg. This episode dives deep into whether a megalodon could still be lurking in our ocean and how the film matches up to the science. Could we ever see the return of this extinct species? This weeks laboratea sees the polls return! We’ve had such a positive response from the last set of polls, so we have brought them back. We asked our IG followers whether they have ever cheated in a class test, or whether they can switch off from work… tune in to find out more. Let us know your thoughts in the comments Please remember that this podcast is intended for mature audiences only, as we occasionally delve into subjects that may not be suitable for younger listeners.

    This is EXPOSED episode 3 - today we will be exploring the scientific accuracies… and inaccuracies of The Martian. This episode uncovers whether we could sustain life on Mars, whether we could grow crops, or even how you could communicate with Earth. We will also be discussing this weeks LaboraTEA, although we are taking a different turn and asking you guys to ALL get involved as we uncover the polls we have asked on our instagram stories.
