About Legacy of the Monolith: The Ram/Stig Sci-fi Podcast
Two nerdy brothers chat sci-fi.
Stigin and Ramnexus; together known as Ram/Stig. Brothers, nerds. Born of the analogue age and raised on sci-fi since the Monolith first hit our screens.
Each episode starts with a chat about the sci-fi we’ve been enjoying recently and what we’re looking forward to.
We discuss sci-fi from different media including streaming, gaming and Blu-ray.
Crikey, we’ve even mentioned audio cassettes and Lego!
In the 2nd half we ”go deep” discussing one movie in detail. We surprise each other with facts and ask hypotheticals to really keep the conversation going.
In this episode we talk the scientific accuracy of The Martian
