Sci-Fi Breakdown

By Sci-Fi Breakdown

The Sci-Fi Breakdown Podcast is aimed at dissecting the most popular shows and movies through a scientific lens in order to distinguish whether certain scenes in mainstream media are credible in the real world; in other words, we put the craziest scenes to the test in order to determine whether they have what it takes to fly in the world. Led by Arin Harkawat, along with Co-hosts, Sujit Tirunahari, and Daniel Li, join us every month for new episodes as we combine our knowledge in science with your favorite modern media channels.
