Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie?

In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

The early part of this century saw an explosion of television shows demonstrating extreme survival skills. I am talking about Survivor, Naked and Afraid, Man VS Wild, or anything Bear Grylls stars in. I think this was really to show how far we humans have gone from nature. We have lost almost all of our primal instincts, but in fairness, we do have them. Our inner caveman is always simmering below the surface. This is not true for robots. Sure AI has progressed in leaps and bounds over the past few months, but could an artificially intelligent robot survive in a harsh, remote environment? Could they learn survival skills without a single human present? That is the question we are going to tackle today. Our Enigmatic Engineer Ben Siepser is mostly robot, and as such, he reveals his first ever memories. These may hold the key to the survival of all robotdom.

Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchOnce you reach 200 episodes, you start to consider life expectancy. Should a podcast go on forever? Should a human live forever? While I have no idea about the first one, today’s episode is about the second one. Sure we will quickly congratulate ourselves but then we get down to the real work: Researching the quest for immortality. It turns out we are coming alarmingly close to halting the aging process, and in some cases even reversing it. We are destroying diseases that ravaged humankind, like cancer and AIDS. We even have billionaires who are charting their biomarkers and uploading their numbers to the internet in the world’s first case of open source human experimentation. We have some a long way since Dr. Frankenstein first jolted his monster to life (our first ep. BTW), and while we can’t raise the dead (yet), we are very close to ending death once and for all.

Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchFor many generations, Santa has been seen as a portly fellow who’s hard work throughout the year makes Christmas Day magical for all. That view is becoming a thing of the past. We have done a lot of episodes on the technology of Christmas, and this year we have a new entry: Red One. This Santa is absolutely jacked, and has tremendously high powered technology at his control, including a duplicating machine that makes generating toys a cinch, and an enlarging ray that warps the reality around an object so that a toy car can become a full-sized working model. But there he still has a naughty list that requires round the clock surveillance without your knowledge. Oh and there is definitely a conspiracy to hide his existence from the world. Remember, nothing is free, including toys at Christmas. Even Santa has secrets. Podcast Links FGGGbT Ep. on Prep & Landing Dennin’s Discussion of Santa Tech Facebook Twitter…

Raiding tombs is tough work, which is maybe Lara Croft, the world’s most famous tomb raider, is such a jerk. Personally I like Indiana Jones a lot better, but he was definitely not as athletic as Lara. Sure he had the bullwhip, but Lara uses a magnetic grappling hook with the proficiency of a samurai warrior. She is excellent at parkour, and is more agile when it comes to avoiding traps. Let’s say she inspires you to raid tombs of your own, well there are a few things to consider. This week we discuss the difference between puzzles and traps, the difference between a re-grappler and a de-grappler, and how to restore a painting without ruining it.

On this show we discuss how the world will end every other episode, and since we discussed robot survival skills on the last episode, once again, we are due. This week we actually explore what Dennin calls the ultimate apocalypse: Dying if you fall asleep. This is the concept of Markipliers new series “The Edge of Sleep”, which is what inspired this episode. How long do you think you could stay awake? 24 hours? 48? I know I have been up 12 hours as I write this and I can barely keep my eyes open. I would definitely be toast. Luckily we explore some of the ways you could stay awake for 19 days, which is what the current world record is. Plus we share some of our favorite all-nighter stories, and discuss the benefits of caffeinated water. Podcast Links Facebook Twitter…

Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchLet’s say you work with classified documents, or you just have a boring job you want to forget. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just turn off your brain as you entered work and turned it back on when you left the building? You know, give the heavy lifting to your unconscious or whatever. If this sounds like a dream come true, then you will LOVE the TV show Severance. Here people have an operation that puts a chip in their brain which creates an entirely new personality. This personality IS you, but it only remembers what happens at work. The original you gets to experience all the cool stuff like weekends and not working, while this new personality is stuck finishing your mindless tasks. It’s a dream come true! That is, of course, you are the original you and not the new you. Their life sucks. Anyway, we discuss all the pros and cons of this arrangement on this week’s episode! Facebook Twitter…

Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchBeetlejuice has been called “The Ghost with the Most”, but the most of what? Is there something special that he has that other ghosts in the afterlife don’t have? The short answer is YES, and it involves the Deadon particle. Don’t worry, we explain everything for you in this episode. These give him the power to be the greatest bio-exorcist in the afterlife, which is how the B-man makes his living. And saying his name three times? First of all, don’t do it. Secondly, it makes perfect sense, trust me. Plus we have a quick conversation about how he would fare against the Ghostbusters, and let me say, the consensus was 50/50, AND we tell you how to properly shrink a head.

My guess is that most people listening to this episode will NOT find themselves lost in a fantasy dungeon (unless it is while playing a game of D&D of course). However should you, it may become necessary to start catching and eating monsters. Luckily the Brain Trust has just finished watching the anime “Delicious in Dungeon” so we have you covered. A dungeon is its own ecosystem, complete with photosynthetic plants (when there is sunlight), wild fungi, herbivores, scavengers and yes, even carnivores. What should you eat, and how should it be prepared? Well a cockatrice is multiple animals, so it should be cooked like a turducken. Need vegetables? Try planting some on a dirt golem. We even discuss the complicated science of cooking so all your meat will taste delicious on out wok. Just steer clear of the dragons and you will be fine.

Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchHumans are visual creatures, but we still rely heavily on our auditory senses to navigate the world. We are also loud by nature, which is why New York City is constantly at 90 decibels. My point is this: If our survival is dependent on staying silent, I think we are doomed. Most of us at least. Which is why the monsters in A Quiet Place are so terrifying. They seem built for our total annihilation. Their ability to move undetected and hunt by sound makes them the perfect killer. This week we discuss how these monsters work, plus we offer a few ways we might be able to stay alive along enough to defeat them. FGGGbT On Social Media Facebook Twitter…

Today we decide to take a trip BACK to the planet of Dune, which is a place like none other. In our first episode we talked about the lack of water and how important saving every drop is. Well this time we take a deep dive into that waterless pool to give you as many H2O saving tips that we can. First of all we have to discuss where all the water went and how to get to it. Secondly we have to get you on a very efficient urine reclamation system similar to the ISS. Toilet to Tap as we like to say. Thirdly, and admittedly this is pretty gruesome but necessary, we tell you how to take your fallen comrades and turn their lifeless bodies into about 8 gallons per 100 lbs. That’s a lot of water to squeeze out of a human, but we give you all the deets on how to get it done. Podcast Links FGGGbT Ep. on Dune Sandworms FGGGbT On Social Media Facebook Twitter…
