Well Sickies, we caught the sickness and couldn’t meet up this week. Fear not, we are going waaaaaay back to a time when it was Just Scott and Rage on a review of the Netflix film Spectral. Enjoy this blast from the past and we’ll see you next week. If you are curious, this was originally symptom 10, which aired on… wait, we weren’t even calling them symptoms yet? Holy Crap we’ve been doing this for that long!
We have discussed that the place to go for quality science fiction that doesn't cater to the lowest common denominator are streaming sites like Netflix or Hulu. Spectral, a Netflix original film, is a prime of example of good, not great, entertaining science fiction. Spectral is an enjoyable, action packed, fast paced sci-fi romp, with a little bit of subtle examination of the human condition included. This week's episode of Sci-Fi Malady discusses Spectral and why we feel it is a cut above the films coming out of major Hollywood studios at this time. We also take a shot at JJ Abrams, because of course we do, he sucks.
