On Space the Nation, we take our love of science fiction (and fantasy and horror) and smash it together with our professional passions: international relations (as brought to the table by Tufts University professor and Washington Post columnist Dan Drezner) and cultural criticism (as brought to the table by political columnist Ana Marie Cox). It's a highly informed but hilarious conversation that starts with an examination of a particular text (everything from Ursula K. LeGuin to the MCU, Star Trek to Colson Whitehead) and veers into current events, mental health practices and imagined conversations between Ted Cruz and the Predator. For people who like white papers and graphic novels, Chapo Trap House and what Political Science Twitter used to be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  1. PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026)

    PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026)

    What's the connection between Competency Porn and hotness? Is it a comment on the currency of conventional attractiveness, that we simply perceive the very hot as very competent? In any case, the Goslingness of it all papers over the movie's more casual approach to scientific accuracy. We did not mind. There is some IR in this movie! Hosted on Acast.

    LILO & STITCH (2004)

    ANIMAL FARM

    Ana and Dan must work harder. If you haven't read this short novel or it's been awhile, this is your sign to spend an afternoon with Orwell's lively parable. The writing is crisp, even if fans have scrambled what Orwell actually meant. There is a bit of IR. Some critiques of capitalism, too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 1

    Our first entry in Talking Animals Month! It's peak Pratt, everyone! Pre Pratt fall, if you will. He's charming and the ensemble that carries the whole franchise comes together with an ease you may have forgotten. Topics include: Fact-checking Blank Check's Bautista backstory and whether the movie is a statement on the prison industrial complex. There is IR in this movie. Hosted on Acast.

    28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE

    Meet Gen X's most metal bachelor in this largely infected-free (well, it has one large infected) entry into the 28-year-verse. There are some pretty big questions about God and evil and What is to be human, anyway? And, importantly: Are bad dads bad? There's horrific violence against and by children and a lot of Duran Duran in addition to IR. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
