Without a doubt, this is the BIGGEST topic we have ever tackled!  Ranking our beloved Trek films is hard enough when we make our own individual lists.  Put all four of us in a Zoom room and ask us to make one single list, an official list of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast, and you're asking for lots of back and forth debate, tons of banter, and even more laughter.  Even an occassional gasp and sigh can be...

We compare a classic science fiction film made when we knew little about the planet Mars versus The Martian, a modern science fiction film made with a much more realistic and knowledgeable understanding of the red giant.  Both films have their own level of charm and allow for a bit of "willing suspension of disbelief."  However, we tackle these films with an open mind and have fun comparing the re...
