We’re back! Caitlin finally edited the episode! In fact, you might say that this episode was Lost … on Caitlin’s Hard Drive. In this episode, Caitlin and Nicole are joined again by Caitlin’s long-suffering brother Ryan to discuss episodes 6 and 7 of Lost in Space. (Stars alive, when will we get through this series? How much more can I take? [sobs internally] ) Join us in this episode to discuss black holes, tar pits, and puzzling through what the heck the writers were trying to accomplish with Dr. Smith.

It turns out that Caitlin and Nicole have multiple rocket scientist friends! Longtime friend of the podcast Space Nicole joins our hosts along with newtime friend of the podcast Grant to discuss the Nolan space behemoth, Interstellar. There is … a lot to unpack in this movie. Some of the science is surprisingly good, which makes sense considering that Nolan consulted with actual physicists during the production of the film (Flash writers, take notes). Some of the science is, well, odd, to say the least. Join our crew of intrepid science friends as they journey into a discussion of rockets, docking, relativity, time, black holes, whatever the heck “the blight” is, and the possibly horrible truth behind this secret science program headed by a bunch of all-American scientists(?) Also, Nicole came up for an idea for a TARS and Cooper-themed spin-off television show, complete with theme song, because of course she did. Does anyone know someone at Netflix we can pitch this to? #TARSandCoop Find the articles for the episode here.

We have come to a movie that is apparently somewhat infamous in the scientific community for its terrible and ridiculous science: The Core. Patricia joins us once again to discuss how plausible it would be that the Earth’s core would stop spinning, that we could drill down to the core, and that we could restart it with nuclear weapons! If your guess was, wow, that sounds insanely implausible, ding ding ding, you got it right! If you thought, huh, that sounds like something that is a very likely problem but also very fixable with nuclear weapons, I am not sure how to help you. Find the articles for the episode here.

Well … this episode ended up being a bit of a mess for reasons that are explained therein. But you know what? It kind of fits because we’re covering episodes 1 and 2 of Another Life, and this show is a lot of a mess. We’re joined by our longtime podcast friend Space Nicole for the ride. In this episode we discuss the whole gamut of crazy science: - How dark matter isn’t a scary cloud - How pigeons navigate with but don’t produce infrasound - Why space helmets don’t have a retractable visor - And more! But mostly, we’re still confused why Niko didn’t tell her crew that she killed a man because he was trying to murder her and not simply because “it had to be done.” Find the articles for the episode here.

You mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to this podcast episode in which we discuss all of the ridiculous science in Mission Impossible: Fallout, a movie that seems to know as much about plutonium as I know about Black Sabbath — which is to say, basically nothing other than the fact that heavy metal is involved. And, of course, because we’re discussing plutonium, we are joined by longtime friend of the podcast and nuclear scientist, Madicken! Because this isn’t just the plutonium podcast, we also talk about the logistics of HALO jumps and RFID tags. Oh, and Nicole wrote another insane EDM song based on the vocal stylings of Madicken sampled during this episode. It’s in the episode, and you can also find it on the blog post for this episode.

To the chagrin of everyone involved except, perhaps, Caitlin, we have returned to cover three more episodes of the Netflix prestige show Lost in Space. Caitlin and Nicole are also joined by Ryan and Brady from their sister podcast Out of Contreks to discuss all that … didn’t … happen in these three episodes. Believe me, there was a ton of ranting that I cut out, though some of that has been preserved in the outtakes on the blog post for this episode.

Welcome to the apocalypse, my friends. Wait, that sounds really bad with everyone currently in self isolation from COVID-19. We at That’s Not How Science Works don’t actually think we’re in the middle of a real apocalypse. The current pandemic will eventually pass, so hang in there! Wash your hands! Self isolate! Don’t touch your face! But in this episode we’re joined by Larry and Justin from the Here’s Johnny podcast to discuss zombies and viruses. You know, the classic fictional apocalypse. This is a little bit of a different episode because we aren’t discussing a specific piece of media in this episode. Instead, Larry and Justin are here to provide some context on zombies since, you know, Nicole and Caitlin are babies when it comes to horror. Then, we discuss the science of viruses and vaccines in three zombie movies in particular: I Am Legend, World War Z, and 28 Days Later. And we also end up talking a bit about coronaviruses and COVID-19 because it was a bit inevitable. Find the articles for the episode here.

Caitlin and Nicole are joined by Nicole’s friend Patricia, who is a geophysicist and studies volcanoes. (No, Patricia is not a vulcanologist. That’s a different thing. Nicole already made that mistake.) Per Patricia’s request, the group has gathered together to discuss the cheesy 1997 disaster movie, creatively named "Volcano”. Patricia is here to answer all of your lava-related questions? Can volcanoes just shoot out of the ground like daisies? How hard is it to outrun a lava flow? If you step into lava, will you melt into it just like the Wicked Witch of the West? These may all sound like stupid questions, but they all literally come up in the movie Volcano.

Heeeeeeeeeeey, we haven’t forgotten about the fact that we have a podcast! In this episode Nicole and Caitlin celebrate our one-year anniversary, which was … some … time ago. But hey, it’s our birthday, so we get to celebrate it the way we want to, right? Right? RIGHT? At any rate, since lots of people voted in our “Which TV show should we watch next?” poll but didn’t actually send us any questions to answer for our anniversary celebration, Nicole and Caitlin discuss some questions that Caitlin thought up — questions related to science, to our interests, and so on. We also discuss the cutest Science Corner topic of all time and, drumroll please, announce the results of said poll! Was Caitlin happy with the results? Was Nicole happy with the results? This was a zero sum game, with no way for both our hosts to be happy. Listen, and find out! Or at least skip ahead to the end, and find out! Either way, don’t miss the best science corner ever!

We were on an unannounced hiatus (let’s face it, all our hiatuses are unannounced), but we have returned! Caitlin and a (very congested) Nicole are back to talking about Marvel and, in particular, Spider-Man: Far from Home. The duo discuss the science of magic and just how far we are from real holograms. We also talk about the quite real and quite scary realm of deep fakes. What we do not discuss is what our superhero names would be, which in retrospect seems like a huge oversight. Nicole’s would be the Copyrighter, for the record. Find the articles for the episode here.

It’s here, folks. Our very first crossover episode on That’s Not How Science Works. Katie and Audrey from our sister podcast on the Kaleidoscope Media Network, Wizard Studies: Perusing All Things Potter, join Caitlin and Nicole to discuss the Hogwarts house mascots. Specifically, the Wizard Studies ladies give us a background on each of the Hogwarts houses. Caitlin and Nicole then discuss whether the animal that J.K. Rowling selected for each house matches that house’s traits and provide some alternative animals for each house. As it turns out, Caitlin seriously stans bees. Find the articles for the episode here.

Alrighty, folks, we’ve come to the last of our alternative Flash shows: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. And we’re joined by the fabulous Nicole Sweeney of Snark Squad and Complexly! Woah, Caitlin and Nicole Prime are dazzled by her internet celebrity! And yes, obviously, Sweeney was informed of the rules for challenging Nicole Prime for Supreme Nicole of the Nerdy Podcasts, but she declined, to Nicole Prime’s great relief. We discuss the weirdness of messing with alien technology that’s giving off radiation. We also discuss the issues with suddenly depressurizing a plane. But most of all, Caitlin tries her best to scare everyone with true science. Find the articles for the episode here.

The OG Godzilla team is back together to discuss Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the sequel to the 2014 Godzilla. And wow. Just wow. The plot is something. There is a lot to talk about in this episode. How you can’t just mix together animal sounds to make a magical bioacoustic that allows you to talk to giant monsters. How monsters can’t just give off magic radiation that will heal the planet. How Caitlin, Nicole, and Madicken should apparently start an ASMR podcast with electronic dance music. Like I said, a lot to talk about. Also, I just want to point out that our Godzilla episodes are cursed. In the first Godzilla episode, I (Nicole) had to rerecord a bunch of my dialogue because the website we were using to sync our audio also distorted it. Here, my microphone decided to stop working at some point, and then my laptop decided that it needed to be restarted about 15 minutes later. After it restarted and I checked my microphone, I swear I pressed record and then … it didn’t record. Fortunately I caught it after a few minutes, but basically, there’s a reason I suddenly drop in and out of this episode near the beginning. Also, Godzilla, I’m sorry for what we’ve done to offend you. Please forgive us! I wrote a song about you! Check out Nicole’s music video featuring her Godzilla: King of the Monsters song here!

Longtime TNHSW buddy Space Nicole is back to talk about Netflix’s reboot of Lost in Space. Will she challenge Nicole Prime to be Supreme Nicole of the Nerdy Podcasts? I guess you’ll just have to listen to find out! At any rate, there’s plenty of danger in the first two episodes of Netflix’s Lost in Space reboot and plenty more bad science, but the robot only says, “Danger, Will Robinson” once. ONCE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? At any rate, back to science. Double Nicole and Caitlin discuss how you can’t just find yourself in a lake freezing around you from the bottom, how lots of elements burn white, poor shuttle design, and more! It’s a fun episode people! Also the robot’s name is Larry. This is canon now, and we at TNHSW will not accept any other answers. Find the articles for the episode here.

Nicole and Caitlin are joined by Nicole’s friend Lynn, a neuroscientist who moved to San Francisco from Minnesota and who lived down the street from a bakery that probably sold broccoli pizza. No, seriously. This time Nicole isn’t just making stuff up for the sake of snarkiness. The TNHSW crew discusses the science of the brain and memory in the context of Inside Out. They also theorize about the brainy worldbuilding of the movie and its implications (as you do). Once again, if you want to talk about the puzzling biology of the Cars franchise, hit Nicole up on Twitter @NicoleLuckless. FInd the articles for the episode here.

They doubted us. They told us we were crazy. They said it we would never be able to accomplish this, that it would be too much for any one podcast to handle alone. BUT WE DID IT. WE FINISHED SEASON ONE OF THE FLASH, HATERS. Who exactly are these haters, you ask? Doesn’t matter, moving on. In this episode, Caitlin and Nicole discuss the last episode of season one of The Flash and the first episode of season two of The Flash with their excellent friend Natalie! There is much ranting about singularities and black holes. We also finally discuss the burning topic that’s been looming over the podcast from the beginning: What on earth is a particle accelerator really? The answer might surprise you! (Ignore that clickbaity ending. The answer won’t surprise you. There is a 0% chance it will give you superpowers.)

The internet, the final frontier. These are the voyages of That’s Not How Science Works. To expose strange new science. To fact check new movies and new TV shows. To boldly go where no podcaster has gone before! Yes, that’s right folks. We’ve come to the mother of all science fiction shows: Star Trek. Caitlin and Nicole are joined by their friend Amanda to discuss one of the underrated Star Trek movies, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. We discuss some of the less plausible science in this movie specifically, such as the fact that you will not go into a hypothermia coma in under a minute and how it’s strange that you could pick up neutron radiation with a torpedo but not, say, a sensor on the bridge of your spaceship built to detect such things. We also touch on some of the science of Star Trek more broadly, including the implausibility of teleportation. (Sorry, Scotty!) However, maybe it’s just the fact that we’re used to the trash science of The Flash, but really, this science isn’t half bad. As it turns out, caring about “accuracy” and having “science advisors” that you actually “listen to” can make a world of difference in the plausibility of your show. Good work Star Trek!

Michael took a break from packing up his cabin in Alaska in preparation to moving to the North Pole to discuss two more episodes of The Flash with us! First, we talk about finding bodies underground using sound and light (once again, FBI, Nicole says, “Hi”). We also discuss programmable matter and how a person cannot be made of it. Honestly, do the writers of The Flash know what a cell is? We then move into discussing applying stimulation to trigger lucid dreaming, listening to binaural beats for going to sleep, and different sleep cycles and … what is this? The writers … they wrote something halfway plausible instead of 0.2% plausible? WHAT UNIVERSE HAVE WE STUMBLED INTO? DID A PARTICLE ACCELERATOR JUST EXPLODE SOMEWHERE?
