ITB Ep 207 - Sunny is having delusions, Bajie is being shifty, and MK is almost painfully moral. Just a usual episode in the Badlands.

YN - We tackle the widely acclaimed Japanese animated movie, Your Name, written and directed by Makoto Shinkai, and despite its misleading beginning, we highly recommend it to sci-fi fans.

ST: D Ep 101 & 102 - We discover Star Trek: Discovery and debate whether it’s worth the price of the CBS All Access pass, but mostly we just make horrible Star Trek puns.

S8 Ep 207 - In “I Have No Room in My Heart for Hate” Riley journeys to Chicago, Capheus’ father gets his first screen time, and there’s a battle between two celestial bodies (AKA Sun and Mun), just another day in the life of Sense8.

S8 Ep 206 - Come for the despair, stay for the passionate sex? “Isolated Above, Connected Below” was Sense8’s love episode, and oh boy, there was a lot of it. But… it worked?

ITB Ep 206 - In “Leopard Stalks in Snow” Maggie finally gets her money’s worth for her English degree and Quinn is just now becoming affected by his brain tumor which is approximately the size of a fist.   Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sfincolor Tumblr: https://sfincolor.tumblr.com/ Email: sfincolor@gmail.com Episode show notes on Facebook & Tumblr.

ITB Ep 205 - Even though “Monkey Leaps Through Mist” didn’t have a lot of fight sequences, it made some really interesting plot pivots with Jade, Sunny, and MK. And the one fight we got? Excellent. The rest of the season is looking promising.

Firefly Ep 101 - Firefly is a sci-fi classic, but how does it hold up? We dive into the pilot episode “Serenity” along with our college friend, Angie, and cry about how Firefly was tragically cancelled.

ITB Ep 204 - We’re back in the Badlands! “Palm of the Iron Fox” brought its A game, but is it merely a coincidence that Sunny was MIA?

S8 Ep 204 - We’re back! We’ve made our glorious return from our hiatus, and we’re discussing the Sense8 episode “Polyphony” (season 2, episode 4). And there’s going to be a Sense8 movie!

S8 Ep 203 - Even though Sense8 was cancelled, we’re continuing our discussion of the third episode of season two: “Obligate Mutualism.” It’s hard not to look at the show differently now that it’s been cancelled, but there has never been an endeavor quite like Sense8, and it’s been (mostly) a pleasure to follow along.

S8 Ep 202 - “Who am I?” the episode title of Sense8 asks. But we never get much of an answer... at least the lighting and the ending were good?

ITB Ep 203 - The kindest thing we could say about this episode is that it… happened. Neither of us found it particularly memorable, but there’s always something to nitpick!

ITB Ep 202 - In “Force of Eagle’s Claw” Sunny might’ve gotten a haircut, we get more answers about MK’s past, and we struggle with the name of Quinn’s old regent. Waldo? Walter? Birdman?

ITB Ep 201 - We’re back in the world of Into the Badlands with “Magical Rice Cooker”! In “Tiger Pushes Mountain” we’re surprised, awed, and confused by the twists, turns, and actually decent budget of season 2.   Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sfincolor Tumblr: https://sfincolor.tumblr.com/ Email: sfincolor@gmail.com Episode show notes on Facebook & Tumblr.

BH6 - Big Hero 6 (2014) delivers on the feels, the setting, the characters, and the emotional rollercoaster, but the plot? Eh. It’s whatever. But that doesn’t mean it’s not an enjoyable film.

DM Ep 102 - Dark Matter’s Episode 2 is enough of an improvement over last week’s episode that half of our podcasting duo has already binge-watched the entire first season. Maggie is slightly less impressed.

DM Ep 101 - We take a journey into outer space (and Canada) with the first episode of Dark Matter. It becomes the perfect vehicle to talk about Joss Whedon, Glee, Codename: Kid’s Next Door, and lighting.

ST 2009 - Star Trek (2009), directed by J.J. Abrams, reminds us of our early days in fandom and Maggie shares her abundance of Star Trek nerd cred.

DW Ep 308 & 309 - We travel back to 2007 for the Doctor Who episodes “Human Nature” and “The Family of Blood” from series 3, starring David Tennant as the 10th Doctor and Sci-fi in Color favorite Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones.

S8 Xmas 2016 - The Sense8 Christmas special oozes with cheesy moments, but if all cheese tastes this good, then bring on the fondue.

WF - In which our episode covering the Comedy Central mini-series White Flight somehow becomes a deep discussion about race in America, social justice, and Canadian demographics.

S8 Ep 112 - We conclude Sense8’s first season with a bang in “I Can’t Leave Her.” This episode has everything: action, suspense, drama, and comedy, but somehow it’s the sensates finally coming together as a cluster that really packs the biggest emotional punch.

S8 Ep 111 - The penultimate episode of Sense8’s first season, “Just Turn the Wheel and the Future Changes” brought new levels of violence and moral ambiguity, and with it, came one of our favorite episodes so far.

MIB - Men in Black (1997) is impressive in its approach to both science fiction and comedy, and even though it’s something of a classic, we were surprised at how much we enjoyed it. Just a fun movie that reminds us why we love Will Smith so much. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor".

No new episode this week! We will cover Men in Black next Sunday. Thanks for listening! Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor".

S8 Ep 110 - Sense8 continues to escalate the tension with “What is Human?” in another solid episode, and we’re a little disappointed to see the season’s end fast approaching.

No new episode today! We will return to Sense8 next Sunday. Thanks for listening! Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor".

S8 Ep 109 - “Death Doesn’t Let You Say Goodbye” is Sense8’s info dump episode, but as it’s taken SO long to get these answers, we can’t even complain. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492.

Advantageous - We review Advantageous (currently available on Netflix), an independent sci-fi film, directed by Jennifer Phang. Although it’s set in the near-future, it focuses on applicable themes of today, like the commodification of women’s bodies, skyrocketing tuition prices, unemployment, and the increasing competition to get accepted into elite schools.

S8 Ep 108 - The tension is rising, and we are living for it. All we want to do is binge-watch the rest of series, which we count as a win. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor". Episode show notes on Facebook & Tumblr.

S8 Ep 107 - Violence and plot progression are in the air, as Maggie and Melissa dissect the seventh episode of Sense8, “W.W.N. Double D?” AKA “What Would Nancy Drew Do?” Which is probably a good way to make every decision ever. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492.

S8 Ep 106 - This episode focuses on exploring the Sense8 connection in a more… intimate way, but it’s the character development and the new and exciting ways the characters interact (like Sun and Lito’s shared interview!) that keep us coming back for more.

S8 Ep 105 - Although “Art is Like Religion” is basically a filler episode, it has so many good moments that we don’t even mind. From Capheus/Sun’s first interaction to Lito’s fake action sequence with the crazy director, Sense8 continues to surprise us and keep our adrenaline pumping.

Gojira/Godzilla (1954) - Although Gojira can feel dated at times, its thematic focus on the perils of atomic power and the destruction humanity brings upon itself still resonates today.

S8 Ep 104 - Maggie and Melissa decide that Sense8 is like that weird existential conversation you have with your roommate at 2 AM. It’s deep, meaningful, but sometimes… it just makes no sense. Not a surprising conclusion- after all, the show isn’t shy about its pro-drug stance. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor".

S8 Ep 103 - Maggie and Melissa dive into “Smart Money’s on the Skinny Bitch” which is the first episode that Sense8 actually delivers on its lofty ambitions.

STB Part 1 - Star Trek Beyond is the perfect film for this podcast, because the director, the co-writer, and numerous cast members are POC, which boldly sets Star Trek as a shining beacon of representation compared to most science fiction movies.

S8 Ep 102 - Sense8 has begun to leave its exposition stage behind, and we finally get to dive into some real plot. But first! More exposition!

S8 Ep 101 - Maggie and Melissa kick off coverage of the Netflix original, Sense8, with the first episode, “Limbic Resonance.” With the sheer amount of exposition, Sense8 is clearly playing the long game, but in a world that loves to binge watch, is it playing the too-long game?

WaterFire Special - Maggie and Melissa take a break from their regularly scheduled programming to talk about WaterFire in Providence, Rhode Island with their friends.
