The Sci-Fi Wise Guys

We recap the final two episodes of Lower Decks Season 4. Does it hold up? Will Chris' predictions come true? What is going on with Mariner? Is everyone just a puppet?

We travel back to 1978 to discuss James Cameron's first foray into film making! Deep sci-fi lore, miniatures, and living room sets: everything you need to be successful!

We go (back) to the future with Jason Vorhees as our horror (in SPACE!!!) capstone. Jason destroys a spaceship and a space station using nothing but his machete and the idiocy of his victims.

Do our Lower Deckers cave to the pressure and danger of an ever encroaching moss? Find out on this clip show/flashback episode that really isn't either!

The Sci-Fi Wise Guys revisit the Doom franchise with it's original cinema entry. DOOM is really just a homeless man's Aliens, but we get an interesting performance from Karl Urban and Dwayne Johnson as two actors of the same (alleged) height interact with each other on the same set.

AI is the phrase of the day as the crew of the Cerritos (and the galaxy) deal with the ramifications of their computerized challengers!

Horror in Space returns with another fundamental entry in the Sci-Fi Horror subgenre! Corporate greed and poor decisions almost waste the entire crew of the Nostromo.

Captain Freeman flexes her diplomatic muscles and manages to put one over on the Ferengi while our Lower Deckers each experience some growth. Platonic growth that is. (No, seriously, strictly platonic.)

The Sci-Fi Wise Guys hearken back to a simpler time. Practical effects, interesting cinematography, and fantastic outfits. In many ways the progenitor and inspiration for many sci-fi horror films. Mario Bava shows us how it's done!

We join the Cerritos crew as they escort some Betazoid "diplomats" and experience chaos!

We kick off Horror in SPACE!! month with the cult classic Event Horizon! Horror or horrible? A capable cast tomb raids a ship lost in an experiment gone wrong! Who rescues the rescuers?

Well, I say, in this live recording, we try to discuss Lower Decks Season 4 Episode 4, Something Borrowed, Something Green but mostly just repeat jokes! We learn how certain members of the Cerritos deal with their past and feelings! Pirate weddings, Mark Twain, bridal kidnappings, and more!

We're back to the land down unda, as the Sci-Fi Wise Guys revisit the Wyrmwood franchise. A sequel with returning actors, motifs, and more Mad Max!

We join the crew of the Cerritos as they perform tech support and escape from Black Mountain in this live show review of Lower Decks S4E3!

What's in the box? Don't do it, trust us! You'll lose your family, your job, and your ship!

Lower Decks returns with a new season of hijinks, promotions, and Moopsies!

The Sci-Fi Wise Guys revisit a nostalgic masterpiece as a capstone to Turtles Month. Turtle Power!

On the 39 and a half anniversary, we look back at the Turtle's 25th anniversary celebration! The Ninja Turtles come up against....the Ninja Turtles in this dimension bending crossover extravaganza!

Join the Sci-Fi Wise Guys as we sample the various animated Ninja Turtle shows! We try to highlight the differences and celebrate the similarities!

More turtles in time!? Mystical mayhem ensues when Casey Jones travels to the past and helps the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles learn about teamwork and family.

Rogue's galleries converge as the Ninja Turtles arrive in Gotham after tracking down the Foot Clan. Can the caped crusader see eye to eye with four teenage turtles?

The Turtles are back! We kick off the 39 and half year anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with our thoughts on their latest big screen offering! Do these new heroes in a half-shell live up to the hype? A stunning new art direction and excellent voice acting leads this character driven story towards a new audience.

We bring JTRO July to a close with the back half of Corona House! Ghosts, consent, time travel, and the true meaning of "badussy" are all explained!

JTRO July continues with the first six episodes of Corona House! Aging reality TV star The Lobo is stuck in quarantine in Australia. Can he survive the boredom? Can he survive a new roommate? Can he survive...Corona House?

We return to the Temple of JTRO and drink deep from the waters of Mt. Bitch. Is this the end of our hero and his film series? It leaves us wondering, 'what the duck?'

We got deep in the Outback with this Aussie action horror flick. Some twists and turns keep this show on the road straight towards the Ozpocalypse!

We cap off our most recent crop of short films with...this thing. Kristian Nairn doesn't hold back this story but it certainly doesn't successfully tell its story.

We close out our third year with our annual award ceremony and a rousing game of Wheel of Copyright Infringement!

We take a cheese fueled nostalgia trip back to Angel Grove. A bittersweet reunion of the cast and IP shows us why this show was beloved.

We travel to merry ol' England as Lockwood and Co pits literal children against ghosts that can kill them. Who ya gonna call?

Our live show from April is back and in your podcast feed! We discuss the newest Dungeons and Dragon movie offering and throw in a bonus review of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!

Joseph Roberts shows the world how to create a world and tell a story in less than 5 minutes. This Science Fiction short film checks every box for the Sci-Fi Wise Guys!

What would happen if Superman was an evil little kid? That's it.

We watched another movie that's actually a sequel with aliens invading Earth. It's more than just a coincidence folks! It even has a Star Trek alum in a commanding role! And it's totally not stealing The Matrix series naming convention!

We return to the Outback with another zombie film! Featuring some stunt performers turned actors, it's aggressively shrugging zombies versus black ops operators with infinite ammo!

The first and possibly last Dragonlance adaptation! Using somewhat outdated animation technology was either a stylistic or budget related choice, but a fantastic voice cast brings this story to life!

Someone came to the table and said "Let's be bad guys." We travel with Grayson and his evil party of really bad people to stop an even worse person from being evil. The writers discover something called "character growth" along the way.

Somehow they greenlit this sequel! The Sci-Fi Wise Guys stand outside the party and see if it's worth joining. At least it's more dungeon than dragon.

The first (un)successful adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons IP to film form. The good guys have no real plan while Jeremy Irons' hams it up as the Big Bad Evil Guy and Bruce Payne as Blue Lips is the ultimate hench.

The Sci-Fi Wise Guys dive into the newly released sequel, BackSpace Returns! How much movie is too much movie? How many jokes can you squeeze into 6 minutes? Can lightning strike twice? Do all robots curse? Are blackholes and whiteholes related? Where do the blackholes actually go? This sequel gives us more of the good stuff.
