1-5: Chernobyl "Vichnaya Pamyat"

Thank you to everyone who made the Science Fiction Film Podcast possible and thank you so much for listening. Please join us in our new digs and be sure to not miss the amazing content that you've come to love! SUBSCRIBE BELOW! Introducing: The Lost Drive-In Podcast Description:The ‘Lost Drive-In’ is the latest podcast from LSG Media and unlike anything you’ve heard in movie podcasting. Science fiction. Horror. Action schlock. Cult and B-movies. Every week Matthew and Dean watch a genre film and discuss it in a raw, honest, and often hilarious way. Their uncensored conversational style is less stuffy criticism, and more joking with your profane pals. You will howl with laughter and be occasionally shocked by a ridiculous statement or maybe even an unexpected insight. New episodes drop Mondays.
