It's the first episode! Chris and Israel are jumping right into this little podcast experiment and talking about a sci-fi thriller that Chris has had rolling around in his head for quite awhile: Ceres. They walk through Chris' story (what there is of it) and discuss what the movie would be trying to say. All in all, a fun exploration of an idea.
Synopsis: In the not too distant future, earth has discovered a new element on the dwarf planet Ceres. This element solves all of the earth's energy needs and allows technology to rapidly progress. But what secret does this new element hide? Listen and find out!
