Join hosts Caitlin and Nicole as they snark about science in media and discuss why it's good, bad, or just plain ridiculous. TNHSW is using the CW TV show The Flash as a case study for bad science in media, and Caitlin and Nicole are skewering, I mean critiquing, the science in The Flash two episodes at a time. (Nicole would like to take this moment to offer to show the writing team of The Flash how to use Google should they stumble upon this podcast.) However, in between Caitlin suffering/Nicole schadenfreuding through The Flash, TNHSW also covers a variety of media genres, from movies to non-Flash TV shows to books. When Caitlin and Nicole can con them into it, TNHSW also features special guests who provide their real-life science and engineering expertise to the podcast. Basically, TNHSW is like a TED talk, if the presenters were unfiltered and had an unhealthy obsession with Barry Allen. Come for the sarcasm, stay for the cool science facts.

Episode 33: Clearly Dr. Smith Watches A Lot of TV
We’re back! Caitlin finally edited the episode! In fact, you might say that this episode was Lost … on Caitlin’s Hard Drive. In this episode, Caitlin and Nicole are joined again by Caitlin’s long-suffering brother Ryan to discuss episodes 6 and 7 of Lost in Space. (Stars alive, when will we get through this series? How much more can I take? [sobs internally] ) Join us in this episode to discuss black holes, tar pits, and puzzling through what the heck the writers were trying to accomplish with Dr. Smith.

Episode 32: Netflix, Please Give Us TARS and Coop! | Interstellar (2014)
It turns out that Caitlin and Nicole have multiple rocket scientist friends! Longtime friend of the podcast Space Nicole joins our hosts along with newtime friend of the podcast Grant to discuss the Nolan space behemoth, Interstellar. There is … a lot to unpack in this movie. Some of the science is surprisingly good, which makes sense considering that Nolan consulted with actual physicists during the production of the film (Flash writers, take notes). Some of the science is, well, odd, to say the least. Join our crew of intrepid science friends as they journey into a discussion of rockets, docking, relativity, time, black holes, whatever the heck “the blight” is, and the possibly horrible truth behind this secret science program headed by a bunch of all-American scientists(?) Also, Nicole came up for an idea for a TARS and Cooper-themed spin-off television show, complete with theme song, because of course she did. Does anyone know someone at Netflix we can pitch this to? #TARSandCoop Find the articles for the episode here: thatsnotscience.com/all-episodes/episode-32.

Episode 31: Let's Torch That Peach! | The Core (2003)
We have come to a movie that is apparently somewhat infamous in the scientific community for its terrible and ridiculous science: The Core. Patricia joins us once again to discuss how plausible it would be that the Earth’s core would stop spinning, that we could drill down to the core, and that we could restart it with nuclear weapons! If your guess was, wow, that sounds insanely implausible, ding ding ding, you got it right! If you thought, huh, that sounds like something that is a very likely problem but also very fixable with nuclear weapons, I am not sure how to help you.
