Synthaholics: A Sci Fi PodcastSynthaholics: A Sci Fi PodcastEpisode 377: Star Trek First Contact Episode 377: Star Trek First Contact   We are back after an unexpected impromptu summer break. It’s been a while since we’ve touched on Star Trek and since 90% of Brian’s Star Trek knowledge comes from lower decks I thought it would be good to have him watch Star Trek First Contact since the film was heavily referenced in one of the episodes of Lower Decks. This strategy seems to have worked so other future Star Trek discussions will likely have a tie into lower decks. I think Brian’s perspective on Star Trek from a Lower D...2025-06-1137 minSynthaholics: A Sci Fi PodcastSynthaholics: A Sci Fi PodcastEpisode 374: Wheel of Time Season 3 Part 1 Episode 374: Wheel of Time Season 3 Part 1   The show loosely based on David’s favorite fantasy series The Wheel of Time is back for its third season. This week we will be covering the first half of season three, and this season does not disappoint. Season three feels almost like a brand new show the VFX game has leveled up and while not 100 percent book accurate the show is making strides to more closely adhere to the lore of the source material and that is a welcome change. The Wheel of Time has finally found its leg...2025-04-0947 minSuccess Leaves Clues PodcastSuccess Leaves Clues PodcastIgniting the Spark of Curiosity with David Duncan🎙️ Episode Title: Igniting the Spark of Curiosity with David DuncanIn this enlightening episode of Success Leaves Clues Podcast, we sit down with David Duncan, a Curiosity Specialist who’s on a mission to transform the way schools and organizations engage with their scholars.

You get Dune Prophecy, a show seemingly for no one. If you saw the Denis Villeneuve movies and decides to check out the show you were probably lost much like Brian was this week. David having read some of the books was a bit less lost. Did anyone watch this show? If you did please let us know what you thought.

This week we got into his big budget sci-fi film Starship Troopers. It is pretty incredible the last few podcasts have been on movies directed by the same man and they are all vastly different and strange in their own way. Going into this David was surprised to find what film of these three is the most rewatchable. Too bad Brain didn't watch the most rewatchable of the three films. In David’s head canon the three Paul Verhoeven films we’...2025-01-2932 minSynthaholics: A Sci Fi PodcastSynthaholics: A Sci Fi PodcastEpisode 369: Showgirls Episode 369: Showgirls   It’s that time of year again, the winter holidays like Christmas!

A classic film that David had never seen all the way through until this week. Yes shame on him but better late than never right?  While not a deep film this is a great blast from the past. If Paul Verhoeven wanted to make a deep film he would have made a movie about a showgirl,  or maybe RoboDetective! Remember toxic waste? RoboCop remembers!

This week we go back in time to the year 2000 to discuss the Ridley Scott classic Gladiator starring Russel Crowe and Joaquin Pheonix. It was definitely wonderful to take a look back at such a classic early 2000’s film. It really feels like they don’t make movies like this anymore. This movie is old hat for David as he saw this film back when it opened in theaters and for Brian this was his very first viewing of this film.
