Adeena leads the crew this week on a voyage into the known of what we know about science and how it interacts with most sci-fi films and television.  How does the unknown of the infinite universes created by science fiction authors and film producers interact with the reality of the science we know to be true today?  Can a film or story have bad science and be a good or even great film?  Can we en...

It all started in Vegas and the Sistas are going to talk about it! A discussion about Black hair is NEVER just about style, but neither is a discussion about Star Trek hair.

This week we go on a trip down memory lane as we remember one of the greatest sequels ever made in film history - Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan!  This film has so much good about it.

Cris presented us with the recent HBO film, Moonfall. Most of us watched it (accept for Steve - lucky guy!) and we discuss quite candidly our feelings concerning this disaster film.  Basically, the moon is falling from orbit into earth and there isn't much hope.  It's a real "pick-me-up" of a film!  Whatever the case and, whether you have watched this film, love it or hate it or somewhere in betwe...
