“This is intelligent, thoughtful and joyful coverage of some of the best (and worst) in sci-fi media. I’ve discovered material I’d never heard of. I’ve learned some philosophy. The current hosts are a great pairing, with passion for the content and clearly having a lot of fun with the show. ...”Read full review »

“So, the hosts act like Richard Stanley hasn’t done much, yet he has made Hardware, Dust Devil and amazing docs. Then, the hosts put down Wicca when a quick Google search would show the LBRP that Lavinia is doing. I haven’t listened for awhile, has the quality gone down? Plus, there’s more than...”Read full review »

“Smith is entertaining and has a wealth of podcasting experience, and Rabi has a deep knowledge of philosophy. Combine those with nerd pop culture and its a philosopher's dream. Also helps me find new movies/books that I might have missed with great voidy themes.”Read full review »

“The performative wokeness makes this show at time un listenable. Being a stick I’m the mud doesn’t make you an ally. It makes you a phony.”

“I can’t see why this podcast has so many positive reviews. This is a case of the worst possible people getting to a great idea first. I live Sci Fi and philosophy. This is an abomination of mutually masturbatory unlikable wannabes. The show is 50% two unfunny ‘personalities’ telling each other...”Read full review »

“This show is great. If the title sounds good (at least in the Top Gun sense), this might be your jam. Definitely not enough lists, though. They could really spend more time going through lists. For example, which cults does this cult have better orgies than?”

“The show is a great guide to many familiar and some new episodes of classic Sci-Fi. I found it via Opening Arguments, another gem featuring Thomas Smith. Keep up the good work!”

“I've learned more philosophy from this show than all the interviews of Daniel Dennett, Massimo Pigliucci and countless other professors. Aaron and Thomas break down topics in a digestible way, focusing on a piece of fiction to demostrate them. And yet, I still am not quite sure what Anathem...”Read full review »

“The discussions are more detailed than is true of a lot of philosophy podcasts, but it still suffers from some intuitions being taken fairly uncritically, and given outsized consequents.
Decided not to continue subscribing when Aaron apologised for a misspeaking in a previous episode...”Read full review »

“Thomas is a great interviewer (see any of his dozen other podcasts for more examples), Aaron has great philosophical insight. They are both nerds who bring interesting takes on nerd culture by taking apart movies and TV and trying to bring a new way to look at things we all love.
The cast is...”Read full review »

“I have always been a lover of science fiction, scyfy, sci fi, and fantasy. I have never been a lover of philosophy. But now Thomas has taught me that I hate all movies and Aaron has taught me that by embracing the void created by that hate, I can philosophize.”

“I enjoy this podcast immensely and much like opening arguments the cohost makes up for Thomas smiths lack of funny. I enjoy all of his shows but he isn’t funny. He does great shows though and this one gets top marks. Sometimes wish it was interactive.”
