We're boldy diving into movies like 2001, Battlestar Galactica, A.I., Her & Ex Machina where we discuss the symbolism behind the AI constructs in each of them.

We're trying to determine the motives for creating an Artificial General Intelligence and how we can inject our (up to date) values and ethics into one.

In this fine episode of Sci-fi & Tonic we talk about space money.

We determine how Darth Sidious can foot the bill for the Death Star and how The First Order...simply can't.

We also fantasize a budding Martian Colony, try to figure out what their social structure could be and what kind of economical framework would they need to have in order to avoid a total collapse.

“Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.”

We're talking about ship & transportation design in sci-fi with Joel from Warp.Game. Joel is a Hollywood vfx artist who worked on movies like Avengers, Iron Man and X-men. He also drives a DeLorean, for real.

We're exploring movies like Star Wars, Star Trek & Battlestar Galactica and discussing building the "Enterprise" in real life size...in Vegas!
