Do you like science? Do you like movies? Well, have we got a combo for you!
Every two weeks join us, real life physicists Freda and Abi, while we break down the science behind some of the best and worst movie plots out there. We also get real about the depiction of scientists and their working environment in movies and lay it all on the table with our WTF moments.
We're not about debunking, we're here to show our appreciation to the art of movie magic but reserve the right to laugh and shout as well as applaud where deserved! Here comes the science...

Pacific Rim
It's the end of a series, the end of our so bad it's good era! Praise the lord! We're closing out this year with a long one but it was such a hoot talking about this movie. The wild ride that is Pacific Rim.
It's full of tropes but Idris Elba and topless Charlie Hunman made it all worthwhile.
Just don't say the aussie accents were good...apparently Freda disagrees. oops
We're on an extended break now until the new year! We'll drop a few uncut episodes and try to crank out a christmas special.
Rest and be merry this holiday season!
Thanks for listening to us for another year.

Fantastic
Abi and Freda are mad funny science people who have inviting conversations about an almost random assortment of films. Surprising that they can even produce this much content and still work as full time physicists. Impressive really. One of my favorite podcast. Who else would give me a new reason to watch timecop?!
Great series!
Both Abbie and Frida are hysterically funny and entertaining hosts as they give the movies they review the science test, and a treatment worthy of MST3K!!! Great fun, I love it, keeps my days delivering the mail moving along. Thanks guys!
