The Sci-Fi Wise Guys
An insight/comedy podcast where two unqualified friends break down and riff on straight-to-stream sci-fi and fantasy films. Join the Sci-Fi Wise Guys as they aim for art but land in comedy.
Episodes
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
