Introduction

Whether it’s exploring distant galaxies, confronting rogue AI, or questioning what it means to be human, sci-fi films challenge us to imagine the future and reflect on our present. From dystopian futures and post-apocalyptic worlds to time travel adventures and alien encounters, common tropes in sci-fi include advanced technology, artificial intelligence, interstellar travel, and the ethical dilemmas of scientific progress. Join us as we journey through the genre’s visionary stories and discover how science fiction continues to push boundaries and expand the horizons of storytelling.

Hosted by Ayesha Khan, creator and host of the Every Single Sci-Fi Film Ever* podcast.
