Deadpool Effects, Air Travel Tips, and the Art of Political Polling.

With the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire primary in the books, election season is in full swing. In this week’s episode we asked professional pollster Nick Gourevitch the question on everyone’s mind in the run up to the election: Are polls all they're cracked up to be? Then an epidemiologist tells us what we need to know about the Zika virus, and what we can expect from it here in the US. Then we give you an inside look at what it takes to make convincing visual effects with the help of Jonathan Rothbart, the VFX Supervisor on the most profane and hilarious superhero movie yet, Deadpool. And finally, Brian Kelly of thepointsguy.com helps us determine if a new innovation in air travel is amazing or stupid.
