“I love the idea of a podcast breaking down the science behind great movies. Someone should make that podcast. Bad Science is not that podcast.
Unfortunately if predictably, pairing a scientist and comedian typically ends with the comedian driving the conversation, and the result is a podcast heavy on funny asides and weird complaints about music, casting, etc and light on science. Weird for a podcast that literally put “science” in the name. More than once, guests neglected to watch the film or watched the wrong film. Not sure if this is poor pre-production prepping the guests, or if it was simply several flukes, but it ends up feeling really sloppy.
It’s possible that this was the plan all along, and the “science of movies” was always just a bit to keep a funny conversation going. If that’s the case, it doesn’t deserve this one star rating, but it also should change how it’s presented (description, theme song, name, etc). As it is, I’m unsubscribing.”
