Podcast Overview

Ever wondered how accurate your favourite science-fiction film is? Us either. But it turns out diving a little deeper into your favourite film can reveal some mildly interesting facts.

Join us, palaeontologists Nussaïbah Raja, Namra Sikilkar and Bryan Shirley as we make it our mission to provide commentary and semi-professional insights on the scientific accuracy of films, talk to experts who actually know stuff and crack dumb jokes.
