The Sci-Fi Wise Guys

The third entry of The FP Cinematic Universe is an interesting construct in modern film-making. What happens when the world restrains you? Do you get creative or just give up? Bear witness to an actor/director/writer/producer making a movie no matter what obstacles they overcome. Also, The JTRO himself jumps on Twitter to add commentary to our commentary on his movie!

A special guest for a special show! We bring on Ro from the Scarif Scuttlebutt Podcast to discuss the second half of Strange New Worlds season 1! Does the back half of the season hold up? Check out the Scarif Scuttlebutt podcast at https://twitter.com/scarifpodcast

Jason Mamoa makes yet another appearance with Wolves! A "horror" movie that asks a lot of questions about the plot, but doesn't seem to have any answers. Confusing performances and questionable makeup choices are the fleas we can't shake.

The Sci-Fi Wise Guys are joined by Tod from the excellent Spies Like Us Podcast! They discuss the strengths and flaws of the 2012 Total Recall remake! Be sure to check to join Anthony and Chris on the Spies Like Us Podcast as they discuss the 1990 original as well!

It's the Spies Like Us Podcast featuring The Sci-Fi Wise Guys! We break down the 1990 cult classic, Total Recall!

We go back to the well for possibly our last (at this time) John Suits movie. This graphic novel adaptation asks the questions: "Who are you really?" and "What the heck did I just watch?"

Our second year finishes up with our anniversary live stream! Watch as we start out strong and finish out even stronger!

Our mid-season breakdown of Strange New Worlds episodes 2-5 comes with some bangers and hijinks. We visit a new (old) enemy and get a cliche out of the way early on. NOTE: Chris had a battery back-up go out mid-episode, so there may be some high-pitched beeping at times. This is to be expected. You are not hearing things and your tinnitus is (hopefully) not acting up. If the beeping noise persists...

We return to...Tatooine again! This time Obi-Wan is in the driver seat as he navigates his current life. We see what having a full time job sucks the life out of everyone, including Jedi Masters!

Dr. Langford I presume? We explore the latest entry in the Stargate franchise. Does nostalgia ruin the new hotness?

Vignettes or anthology? A series of "shorter films" make up this sci-fi movie that opens the door on what might happen if aliens visit. Different perspectives and choices frame the plot(s) and characters. Open up and let the aliens in!

We've been here before, but not here. Strange New Worlds takes us back to the past again with Christopher Pike in the captain's seat. Can this new show carry the spirit of Star Trek forward?

David Hewlett reunites with Jason Mamoa to bring this well dressed horror b-movie to life. Being stranded on a prison ship lost in space can drive any AI crazy right? When you die in VR do you become a program?

Ryan Reynolds and half of the MCU unite in this semi-feel good/semi-terrifying look into the past of the future. Time travel is bad, okay?

We continue our tour of the old masters of sci-fi with this interpretation of War of the Worlds. Never thought we'd miss Tom Cruise.

Moby Dick meets Event Horizon with a pinch of cyberpunk in this Ahab-lite indie film. The Sci-Fi Wise Guys hopefully do a better job of catching the plot than this ship of misfits does catching a space dragon.

Homage or home movie? Zillafoot gives a glimpse into the films and film making "techniques" of the old Kaiju movies from Japan.

Our short films finale is at hand! Steampunk and...kinda steampunk round out our theme! Interesting effects, camera angles, and acting! German and Finnish rule both the skies and the crime underworld!

Names you can't pronounce, bad acting, "charred" forests, and a masked Doug Jones make for a confusing journey in this student film sequel.

All aboard the short film train! Next stop, robots! We discuss effects, ethics, and...robots!

Actions speak louder than words in this double header of alien abduction short films from Italian filmmaker Andrea Ricca! What would you do if the greys visited your home? Do they come in peace? Do you?

Is this a book worth reading? Certain chapters seemed to be pulled from other works, but the Western-style influences have never been more prevalent in this anti-hero's tale of loss and "redemption".

Jason Mamoa stars in another show that lets him show off his acting and action skills. In the land of the blind, the sighted person is king? We debate interior decoration and enhanced senses when the blind lead the blind.

Invasion's pilot episode gives us an inside look at various people's lives before an alien invasion. Does this episode do enough to hook us into this new Apple TV+ show? Join the Sci-Fi Wise Guys as we determine the best way to confront your spouse.

Tom Hanks makes his Sci-Fi Wise Guys debut in this touching story about humanity and the lengths we go to care for our loved ones. This post apocalyptic tale shows us who we are and what we are capable of.
