Our good friend Georgia Mills joins us to revisit 1999's Best Picture winner American Beauty, which turns out to be a real hot mess. We also grill Georgia about the scientific accuracy of films such as Lucy, The Matrix, and The Martian, and learn about "double bees". Plus, we take a look at another classic, the incredibly self-conscious and awkward erotic blockbuster 50 Shades of Grey. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Ancient Greeks understood that the liver was one of the most incredible organs humans possess when they wrote the cautionary tale of Zeus' punishment of Prometheus, in which poor Prometheus was tied to a rock where an eagle would eat his liver every day, but overnight it would regenerate and grow back, allowing his punishment to continue day after day. Now, in real life, the liver doesn't regenerate quite that quickly, but it is true that it has the ability to grow back and heal itself remarkably well.

Georgia Mills & the Naked Scientists with the latest science news.
Neurodegeneration is a process involved in several serious and debilitating diseases, for which there is often no cure. One of the first steps on the journey towards a treatment to stop neurons dying is understanding how and why they do so. Now, scientists from Cambridge University and the University of Toronto have announced a mechanism that explains how neurons die in two diseases, motor neurone disease and a type of dementia called fronto-temporal dementia. Georgia Mills spoke to Cambridge University chemist Michele Vendruscolo. First, Georgia asked, what actually are neurons? Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists
