60 - Waste of a Perfectly Good Bus - Into the Badlands
ITB Ep 208 - In "Sting of the Scorpion's Tail" Sunny and co. make their glorious return into the badlands (casual name drop) and pick up the pace heading into the final few episodes of season 2. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/...
-
59 - Secret Interstate Road Crew - Into the Badlands
ITB Ep 207 - Sunny is having delusions, Bajie is being shifty, and MK is almost painfully moral. Just a usual episode in the Badlands. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sfincolor Tumblr:...

58 - Mitsuha, Taki & The Great Comet of 2013 - Your Name
YN - We tackle the widely acclaimed Japanese animated movie, Your Name, written and directed by Makoto Shinkai, and despite its misleading beginning, we highly recommend it to sci-fi fans. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter:...
-
57 - Logic is Bae - Star Trek: Discovery
ST: D Ep 101 & 102 - We discover Star Trek: Discovery and debate whether it's worth the price of the CBS All Access pass, but mostly we just make horrible Star Trek puns. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter:...
-
56 - Sensori LinkedIn - Sense8
S8 Ep 207 - In "I Have No Room in My Heart for Hate" Riley journeys to Chicago, Capheus' father gets his first screen time, and there's a battle between two celestial bodies (AKA Sun and Mun), just another day in the life of Sense8. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB:...
-
55 - Traitor to America - Sense8
S8 Ep 206 - Come for the despair, stay for the passionate sex? "Isolated Above, Connected Below" was Sense8's love episode, and oh boy, there was a lot of it. But… it worked? Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter:...
-
54 - Pupper - Sense8
S8 Ep 205 - Consistent themes, good feelings, and one adorable dog carry "Fear Never Fixed Anything" because when in doubt, bring out the dog. Because dog. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sfincolor…

53 - Bajielands - Into the Badlands
ITB Ep 206 - In "Leopard Stalks in Snow" Maggie finally gets her money's worth for her English degree and Quinn is just now becoming affected by his brain tumor which is approximately the size of a fist. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB:...
-
52 - Team Instinct - Into the Badlands
ITB Ep 205 - Even though "Monkey Leaps Through Mist" didn't have a lot of fight sequences, it made some really interesting plot pivots with Jade, Sunny, and MK. And the one fight we got? Excellent. The rest of the season is looking promising. Music by Evan Flury…
more -
51 - The Butt Lights Up - Firefly
Firefly Ep 101 - Firefly is a sci-fi classic, but how does it hold up? We dive into the pilot episode "Serenity" along with our college friend, Angie, and cry about how Firefly was tragically cancelled. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB…
more -
50 - Jenga with Termites - Into the Badlands
ITB Ep 204 - We're back in the Badlands! "Palm of the Iron Fox" brought its A game, but is it merely a coincidence that Sunny was MIA? Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sfincolor Tumblr:...
-
49 - Sun and Mun - Sense8
S8 Ep 204 - We're back! We've made our glorious return from our hiatus, and we're discussing the Sense8 episode "Polyphony" (season 2, episode 4). And there's going to be a Sense8 movie! Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter:...
-
48 - Fire at Will - Sense8
S8 Ep 203 - Even though Sense8 was cancelled, we're continuing our discussion of the third episode of season two: "Obligate Mutualism." It's hard not to look at the show differently now that it's been cancelled, but there has never been an endeavor quite like Sense8, and it's been (mostly) a...
-
47 - Tigers Don't Eat Snakes - Sense8
S8 Ep 202 - "Who am I?" the episode title of Sense8 asks. But we never get much of an answer... at least the lighting and the ending were good? Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sfincolor Tumblr:...
-
46 - Bridge Over Troubled Rocks - Into the Badlands
ITB Ep 203 - The kindest thing we could say about this episode is that it… happened. Neither of us found it particularly memorable, but there's always something to nitpick! Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter:...
-
45 - Bangarang! - Into the Badlands
ITB Ep 202 - In "Force of Eagle's Claw" Sunny might've gotten a haircut, we get more answers about MK's past, and we struggle with the name of Quinn's old regent. Waldo? Walter? Birdman? Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter:...
-
44 - Magical Rice Cooker - Into the Badlands
ITB Ep 201 - We're back in the world of Into the Badlands with "Magical Rice Cooker"! In "Tiger Pushes Mountain" we're surprised, awed, and confused by the twists, turns, and actually decent budget of season 2. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB:...
-
43 - Kid Iron Man - Big Hero 6
BH6 - Big Hero 6 (2014) delivers on the feels, the setting, the characters, and the emotional rollercoaster, but the plot? Eh. It's whatever. But that doesn't mean it's not an enjoyable film. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter:...
-
42 - For Narnia! - Dark Matter
DM Ep 102 - Dark Matter's Episode 2 is enough of an improvement over last week's episode that half of our podcasting duo has already binge-watched the entire first season. Maggie is slightly less impressed. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB:...
-
41 - Seven-Foot-Tall Lizard People - Dark Matter
DM Ep 101 - We take a journey into outer space (and Canada) with the first episode of Dark Matter. It becomes the perfect vehicle to talk about Joss Whedon, Glee, Codename: Kid's Next Door, and lighting. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB:...
-
40 - Maximum Sick - Star Trek (2009)
ST 2009 - Star Trek (2009), directed by J.J. Abrams, reminds us of our early days in fandom and Maggie shares her abundance of Star Trek nerd cred. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sfincolor Tumblr:...
-
39 - I Am the Void - Doctor Who
DW Ep 308 & 309 - We travel back to 2007 for the Doctor Who episodes "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood" from series 3, starring David Tennant as the 10th Doctor and Sci-fi in Color favorite Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB:...

38 - Ancient Mansions - Ghostbusters (2016)
GB 2016 - Who you gonna call? We tackle Ghostbusters (2016) and all the controversy that has come with it. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sfincolor Tumblr: https://sfincolor.tumblr.com/ Email:...
-
37 - Good Butt Doubles - Sense8
S8 Xmas 2016 - The Sense8 Christmas special oozes with cheesy moments, but if all cheese tastes this good, then bring on the fondue. Music by Evan Flury: https://soundcloud.com/musicman9492 FB: https://www.facebook.com/sfincolor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sfincolor Tumblr:...
-
36 - Pig-dog Capitalists - White Flight
WF - In which our episode covering the Comedy Central mini-series White Flight somehow becomes a deep discussion about race in America, social justice, and Canadian demographics. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor". Episode...
-
35 - Helicopter Chicken - Sense8
S8 Ep 112 - We conclude Sense8's first season with a bang in "I Can't Leave Her." This episode has everything: action, suspense, drama, and comedy, but somehow it's the sensates finally coming together as a cluster that really packs the biggest emotional punch. Music: Evan Flury,...
-
34 - Slightly Less Death - Sense8
S8 Ep 111 - The penultimate episode of Sense8's first season, "Just Turn the Wheel and the Future Changes" brought new levels of violence and moral ambiguity, and with it, came one of our favorite episodes so far. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter…
more -
33 - Red Sheep of the Family - Men in Black
MIB - Men in Black (1997) is impressive in its approach to both science fiction and comedy, and even though it's something of a classic, we were surprised at how much we enjoyed it. Just a fun movie that reminds us why we love Will Smith so much. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492.…

Third Announcement
No new episode this week! We will cover Men in Black next Sunday. Thanks for listening! Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor".

32 - Mr. Whiskers - Sense8
S8 Ep 110 - Sense8 continues to escalate the tension with "What is Human?" in another solid episode, and we're a little disappointed to see the season's end fast approaching. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor". Episode show...

-
31 - A Mope at the Museum - Sense8
S8 Ep 109 - "Death Doesn't Let You Say Goodbye" is Sense8's info dump episode, but as it's taken SO long to get these answers, we can't even complain. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor". Episode show notes on Facebook & Tumblr.

30 - #JustDystopianThings - Advantageous
Advantageous - We review Advantageous (currently available on Netflix), an independent sci-fi film, directed by Jennifer Phang. Although it's set in the near-future, it focuses on applicable themes of today, like the commodification of women's bodies, skyrocketing tuition prices, unemployment…

29 - Beyoncé's Dad is Dead - Sense8
S8 Ep 108 - The tension is rising, and we are living for it. All we want to do is binge-watch the rest of series, which we count as a win. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor". Episode show notes on Facebook & Tumblr.
-
28 - The Flavor of Rat Poison - Sense8
S8 Ep 107 - Violence and plot progression are in the air, as Maggie and Melissa dissect the seventh episode of Sense8, "W.W.N. Double D?" AKA "What Would Nancy Drew Do?" Which is probably a good way to make every decision ever. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook,...

27 - Vintage Meme - Independence Day
ID - Can Independence Day (1996) hold up against modern summer blockbusters? Our short answer: no. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor". Episode show notes on Facebook & Tumblr.
-
26 - Snaps for the Location Scout - Sense8
S8 Ep 106 - This episode focuses on exploring the Sense8 connection in a more… intimate way, but it's the character development and the new and exciting ways the characters interact (like Sun and Lito's shared interview!) that keep us coming back for more. Music: Evan Flury,...

First Announcement
No new episode today! We will return to Sense8 next Sunday. Thanks for listening! Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor".
-
25 - Carphone Bling - Sense8
S8 Ep 105 - Although "Art is Like Religion" is basically a filler episode, it has so many good moments that we don't even mind. From Capheus/Sun's first interaction to Lito's fake action sequence with the crazy director, Sense8 continues to surprise us and keep our adrenaline pumping. Music: Evan...
-
24 - Tanks of Friendship - Gojira/Godzilla (1954)
Gojira/Godzilla (1954) - Although Gojira can feel dated at times, its thematic focus on the perils of atomic power and the destruction humanity brings upon itself still resonates today. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor"....
-
23 - Ludwig & Gunnar - Sense8
S8 Ep 104 - Maggie and Melissa decide that Sense8 is like that weird existential conversation you have with your roommate at 2 AM. It's deep, meaningful, but sometimes… it just makes no sense. Not a surprising conclusion- after all, the show isn't shy about its pro-drug stance. Music: Evan Flury,...
-
22 - A Tale of Two Folders - Sense8
S8 Ep 103 - Maggie and Melissa dive into "Smart Money's on the Skinny Bitch" which is the first episode that Sense8 actually delivers on its lofty ambitions. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Gmail at "sfincolor". Episode show notes on Facebook…

-
20 - Red Shirt, Dead Shirt - Star Trek Beyond - Part 1
STB Part 1 - Star Trek Beyond is the perfect film for this podcast, because the director, the co-writer, and numerous cast members are POC, which boldly sets Star Trek as a shining beacon of representation compared to most science fiction movies. Music: Evan Flury, soundcloud.com/musicman9492.…

19 - Vanilla Manila - Sense8
S8 Ep 102 - Sense8 has begun to leave its exposition stage behind, and we finally get to dive into some real plot. But first! More exposition! Melissa reveals her secret musical nerd past (and present), and Kala's fiancé is not good looking enough for Maggie. Music: Evan Flury,...
-
18 - GOOD GUY WILL - Sense8
S8 Ep 101 - Maggie and Melissa kick off coverage of the Netflix original, Sense8, with the first episode, "Limbic Resonance." With the sheer amount of exposition, Sense8 is clearly playing the long game, but in a world that loves to binge watch, is it playing the too-long game? Music: Evan Flury,...

17 - Two Rivers Diverged in a City - WaterFire Special
WaterFire Special - Maggie and Melissa take a break from their regularly scheduled programming to talk about WaterFire in Providence, Rhode Island with their friends. They reminisce about their college days and talk about s'mores, funnel cake, fried Oreos, the life cycle of salmon, and the smell…
