Uncharted Space Josh & Craig

- Fiction
-
Josh and Craig celebrate the science fiction that they love! Each week, one host pitches the other (and the listeners) on a sci-fi movie, show, comic, or novel that they know and love, and that the other host has never experienced. This is not a recap show, and snark is kept to a minimum (although juvenile humor is not). Podcast theme composed by Josh Baruch

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
On today’s episode, Craig stands in for all the 80s and 90s kids who loved TNG but never got into DS9, while Josh makes the case that it’s never too late to start watching the BEST STAR TREK SERIES EVER (FIGHT ME). Later, we compare Trills favorably to both the Goa’uld and to John Malkovich’s head portal. It's a very special episode (but not a "Very Special Episode"--like, nobody dies, it's just good) of Uncharted Space

Highlander
This week we're testing the limits of what we can call sci-fi with the 1986 Connery classic, Highlander, but apparently a sequel retcons that the Highlanders are aliens (?) so we're probably good. Also, this movie *probably* isn't a prequel to The Rock, but we still spend a significant chunk of the episode talking about it 🤷🏻♂️
-
Total Recall
This week we talk about the great 1990 Verhoeven/Schwarzenegger film Total Recall, plus another bombshell revelation about Craig's Trek-nerd bona fides (or lack thereof?)
-
Misfits
Craig can't resist a subversive, crude, anti-superhero story, which means the 2009 U.K. sci-fi dramedy series Misfits is right up his alley. Josh does his best to go off on every tangent possible, but to no avail; the appeal of Misfits is undeniable.
-
Dark Matter
On today's episode we're talking about Dark Matter, yet another Syfy show that was cancelled on a tantalizing cliffhanger. Seriously, why do they keep doing that?!
-
Reign of Fire
This week, Matthew McConaughey teams up with Batman and the 300 guy to defend Apocalypseburg from a bunch of wanna-be Smaugs. It's the critically-panned-but-beloved-by-many (podcast hosts named Craig), 2002 dragon flick Reign of Fire!
