#25 Science...sort of

This is more my style. They're still nerds, but they're the kind that read science papers. Still they're equal part or more part geeks because they will wonder aloud "What would happen if a werewolf bit a vampire? What about the other way around?"

I just really like their personalites. I mean on the first ep, there's this clearly tacked on section at the beginning that they must have made up after they figured out the audio kinks, where it's them claiming they've come from the future to tell you that no worries, they're on podcast #4,000 and they've figured out all the kinks. "Trust us, we're from the future.""We're further in the time stream than you, listen to us!"

Only four in, but there's a hefty backlog which makes me happy, because overall I like it. I'm not a fan of all the segments, like the trailer review sequence, but that's likely in part since these are about movies that were out 15 months ago since I'm starting at the beginning.

This is kind of like the lighter version of Skeptics Guide - a podcast I'm not likely to run out of soon since it's been up weekly for 5 years in hour long segments, but one thats overall seriousness can get to me. Sometimes I just want to listen to people joke about how stupid the Google Loch Ness Monster looks, or how kooky and fraudulent it is that some new quack is claiming an imminent free energy solution without it being followed by a lengthy discourse on how impossible it is to trust claims that don't follow the scientific method to prove themselves. Not saying I don't agree, but sometimes I'd prefer the junk food version. And so far Science...sort of seems to be the Goldilocks of that. Not too dumb or credulous, not too serious, just right.
