Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. Make them the cutest nerd, I've ever seen.
What's up! We did "Logan's Run!" This week we covered some light eugenics and discussed the difficulties of extra corporeal fetal development! I think there were also some tasteless jokes in there too.
Join us again in two weeks, for the reunion tour of Jurassic Park, when we cover the science of "Jurassic World!" Hit us with questions @reelsciencecast on Twitter or Instagram, on our Facebook, or at reelsciencecast@gmail.com!

We watched Zodiac this week and somehow talked about astrology?! Get in here and listen to how astrology developed into astronomy, solving ciphers, and analyzing handwriting!

GREETINGS NERDS!
Join us this week as we discuss Ridley Scott's 1979 opus to kissing monsters, "Alien." We discuss xenomorph morphology, parasitism, and spooky corollaries between these rough space boys and real organisms!
Next time, we're watching "Zodiac" to cover the listener requested subject, ASTROLOGY. Get us some questions about our signs, the science(?) of star-based personalities, or any old thing! You can reach us @reelsciencecast on Twitter or Instagram, our Facebook page, or at reelsciencecast@gmail.com!

What's up nerds!!
This week, we watched a Bubble Boy become a Bubble Man in the 2001 film, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, about a boy in a plastic bubble. We discussed the human immune system, current treatments for immune disorder, and our thoughts on this terrible terrible film.
Join us again in two weeks, when we discuss the science in "Alien!" Hit us with questions by next week and we'll discuss them on the show! You can reach us at @reelsciencecast on Twitter and Instagram, on our Facebook, or at reelsciencecast@gmail.com!

WE BACK AT IT NERDS
Get us in your earholes this week as we talk about The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! We do a bad job with physics, discuss alternate dimensions, and muse on Neil deGrasse Tyson's butt.
Hit us with questions about autoimmune disorders, immunity, and infections for next time! We're watching what is arguably Jake Gyllenhal's best work (?) "Bubble Boy." We're sorry in advance. We're on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and at reelsciencecast@gmail.com.

What's up, nerdlings!
After some WILD circumstances, as well as some deep discussion, we've decided to take a brief time off from episode release to allow for travel time and personal time. Thanks for sticking with us while we get through a busy month.
We'll be back again on July 17th with our Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension episode, wherein we will force Pace to do the ep without watching the movie. Hit us up with any questions in the meantime! We'll be cranking out a mailbag episode shortly afterwards!

DARE TO DREAM, SCIENTISTS.
This week, we talk about what your brain does while you sleep, with our coverage of the science in "Inception!" Oh also, we talk about how excited we are for Toy Story 4 and the new plot for like ten minutes.
Next time, we'll be watching "The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension," and I promise that's a real movie. Hit us with science questions about inter-dimensional travel on our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or at reelsciencecast@gmail.com!

Ya'll...this movie. This MOVIE.
We're coming at you this week with the Mysterious Lost Repo Men Episode, and frankly, it maybe should have stayed buried.
Join us as we talk about artificial organs and their function, as well as some FDA regulatory jargon??
We'll have the next episode announcement up later this week, so you can hit us with questions @reelsciencecast on Twitter, at reelsciencecast@gmail.com, on our Instagram, or on our Facebook!

What's up, citizens of Elysium!
Welcome to your new home, thanks to Matt Damon, heroically giving his life (spoilers) by transferring cheat codes from his brain (spoilers) to our space station city.
Join us as we discuss a movie that puts the "fiction" in "science fiction," Elysium!
Next week, we'll be releasing our "lost" Repo Men episode! Feel free to get us questions, but otherwise sit back and relax!
