In this episode of FILMD Chats, we sit down with science consultant and former British Army officer Geoff McBride to unpack the fascinating (and often flawed) relationship between science and cinema. From Armageddon to Interstellar, Geoff dissects common misconceptions in the science genre—like artificial gravity, sound in space, and the myth of the space elevator—revealing what filmmakers often get wrong and why. We explore how science fiction both inspires and misleads, the importance of scientific accuracy in storytelling, and which films actually get it right. With references to The Expanse, Contact, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and even fan-made Star Trek projects, Geoff offers a witty and thoughtful critique that will leave filmmakers, sci-fi lovers, and science geeks equally enlightened. Whether you’re crafting your next screenplay or just curious about the truth behind Hollywood’s biggest sci-fi hits, this episode is for you.
