Prison is a place you definitely don’t want to find yourself, but if you do, I can guarantee you will want to get out.  This would especially be true if the prison was the size of Manhattan Island, like we see in the 1980’s classic “Escape From New York”.  Here, anti-hero Snake Plissken has to […]

Whether it’s extreme climate change, a robot uprising, the zombie apocalypse, or the elite getting itchy feet, human beings are leaving this planet.  The only question that remains is where.  Do we make a new home on our nearby neighbor The Moon, or do we make the trek across the solar system to Mars, the […]

It is official, Artificial Intelligence is here and it is slowly taking over.  But is that a bad thing?  Yes. But is it really?  Also yes, BUT we do have a member of the Brain Trust who is much more optimistic.  In this episode, Dr. Michael Dennin lays out his argument on how AI isn’t […]

Technology is a way to mark Man’s progress through time.  With only a few exceptions, as a species we are constantly advancing forward, with each new gadget being built on the foundation of an old gizmo.  Modern cell phones replaced the home phone that was connected to your wall, which replaced letters sent from far […]

I know we have done several shows lately on the technology of the Victorian Era, but the TV show 1899 is completely unique.  There are weird portals, black pyramids, and retro computers controlling steamships.  Where to begin?  Well this week The Brain Trust explains it all.  Could you retrofit a steam ship with 1970’s computers?  […]

Who doesn’t love a good scavenger hunt?  You take a team and race all over a city taking pictures, getting items, and visiting cool places.  But how much MORE fun would it be to race all over the world, collect treasure, and visit ancient hidden rooms?  Now add the chance of death, and you have […]

We have discussed aliens and UFO’s on the show several times, thanks to Dr. Dennin’s expertise in ancient aliens.  But we haven’t discussed the possibility that the disc shaped objects in our skies are NOT spaceships, but actually biological creatures.  Luckily that is EXACTLY what Jordan Peele explores in his latest movie “Nope”.  We answer […]

In 1947, something crashed in the New Mexico desert, just outside Roswell New Mexico.  Many said it was an extraterrestrial craft carrying the bodies of several alien creatures.  Whether or not you believe the story, this event kicked off the modern UFO movement as we know it today.  What if this happened 100 years earlier?  […]
