Ro and Chantal sit down and discuss two of Harrison Ford's most iconic characters and what makes them so popular, the scruffy looking nerf herder and that scoundrel archeologist, Han and Indiana Jones. Through the mythology of these stories between Star Wars and Indiana Jones, we see similarities, but we also see some key differences that make them fan favorites as well. Take a listen and see if you agree.

Plus a special message from Dominic Pace on Harrison Ford and how they've inspired him as an actor. We talk about how the masculinity of both Han and Indy play out with their respective partners in each franchise.

Plus don't miss #SentryMode. Chantal takes on 5 questions. See just how well she did!

EP61 Han V Indy

Ro is joined by sir 'salty' himself, the Salty Nerd to talk about everyone's favorite pre-historic creatures, dinosaurs. Why are they so cool, what do they represent in the grand scheme of things, the future of DNA work in the scientific community and more! 

Everyone's earliest memories seem to have dinosaurs on their bingo card. We talk about our very vivid memories and Salty shares a very personal story. Plus, we got a special Jurassic Park edition of #SentryMode.

Because of the excited nature of the topic, (who doesn't absolutely LOVE dinos?) This contains adult language, so listener discretion is advised.

Welcome to our 100th Episode! We tackle the question we posed on Twitter, what are 5 of the top most influential movies ever? A tall ask, but we did manage to narrow it down from a long list of very influential films.

We had help deciding. Andrew from @Sci_Fictionary joined us on our 100th, and we went nose first into this discussion. From influences of a technical nature to ones more grounded in the way stories are told, we really picked apart some of our best choices and some great choices our followers submitted as well. Take note and see if you agree with our choices.

Plus, we've teamed up with Tee Public to say thank you to a couple of followers and listeners, so stay tuned in this episode to hear how you can qualify to win. 

Enjoy this, our 100th episode and hear the wonderful voicemails we got from friends throughout the show. Thank you!

EP196 Cafe3 Crusher Convo

Yoda proclaimed it. Fear, Anger, Hate, Suffering, all elements that lead to the Dark Side. Anakin embodied all that to become transformed into arguably, the greatest villain to ever exist in movies, the dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. We know of his dark trajectory, but how do those things play out in our own lives? Can we be turned to the Dark Side as Anakin was? Are we immune to those feelings? Ro and Brad welcome Dr Peter Demuth to the show and discuss the four pillars of Anakin's transformation. Dr Demuth is a clinical psychologist and author of Monsters in Life and Literature which gives him unique insight to this discussion.

We explore how these very strong emotions can act in a way that transformed Anakin and pose the question, do we all have darkness in us? Join this deep dive discussion and explore the nature of these emotions and how our movie antagonists are a dark reflection of a possible outcome in real life. Demuth has spent decades studying, evaluating, and treating violent criminals and we bring him on to break down how a simple slave boy from Tatooine becomes the most feared villain in the galaxy.

Our Fantastic Four Discussion

Check out this week's discussion with Brad and Ro and thanks to follower Loki Jarson for suggesting the topic. We explore the concept of 'Death of the Author' in this deep dive where it's postulated once a work of art is out, it no longer belongs to the author. We explore the idea that the consumer attaches meaning to said project and that the author's original intent is no longer valid. Does it apply to long standing franchises like Star Wars where the original author is no longer in charge of the message? Do new authors need to refer back to the original text to formulate new stories? If they don't what may or may not be missing? We get into the weeds on this. Another Scarif deep dive. We hope you enjoy it.
