Bonus Episode: Full Length Ant-Man Commentary

Scott and Steven sit down for one of Marvel's most science fiction-y movies, aka the one in which a miniaturized ex-con teams up with a mad scientist, his double-agent daughter, and an army of helpful ants to keep their technology out of the hands of the military-minded bad guy. This week we're trying something different: a full-length commentary track. Not only does this allow us to do a deep dive into the science AND the fiction of a single movie, but it allows you, our faithful listeners, to watch and follow along as if we were in your living room ruining your experience of watching the film by talking through the ENTIRE THING. How good/bad is Evangeline Lily's wig? What exactly are the rules of shrinking/growing things in the Ant-Man universe (hint: whatever they need to be at that particular moment)? Is there such a thing as a physicist/entomologist? This and more on this extra long but always fascinating super special commentary episode of Science vs Fiction.
