S8 Xmas 2016 - The Sense8 Christmas special oozes with cheesy moments, but if all cheese tastes this good, then bring on the fondue.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, and the increasing competition to get accepted into elite schools.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
