In this episode we (sky)dive into the science behind leaping from a plane from tens of thousands of feet in the air! Through the lens of Furious 7, Mission Impossible: Fallout, and Point Break, we explore the do's and the don'ts of skydiving! Mostly, we examine the realism (or lack thereof) in certain scenes. Plus, personal stories of skydiving and skydiving medicine from Adam and Justin! (Need a mattress? Use our link! https://allswellhome.mvvx.net/popmed)

Welcome to our summer vacation episode!  For this episode, we've done something a bit different and decided to go through each of our favorite movies of all time!  You'll get to hear, count down style, our top 5 movies that we recommend everyone watch at least once, and our top 5 movies that we most love to rewatch.  We would love to hear feedback.  Did we leave your favorites off?  Reach out and let us know your own lists!

Welcome back from another break!  We've learned that as life is returning more to normal, our free time is not.  So we are trying to make up for lack of frequency by providing content with real Shock value!  This week we discuss ECT, also known as Shock Therapy, and discuss the movies Requiem for a Dream, A Beautiful Mind, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.  Shock therapy may have a bad rap, but we want to keep the good raps coming, so thanks for listening and providing suggestions!

Welcome to the episode Nick has been waiting for.  We tried to make a boring old back pain episode, including a discussion about a Simpsons episode, but this thing got a little out of control.  We had a special request to do a breakdown of There's Something About Mary, and while this movie has lots of back pain issues, it also has...a lot of other medical mishaps.  And we pull no punches discussing them.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy our newest episode - which almost needed an explicit tag!

You thought we had done all possible environmental medicine subjects, didn't you?  Altitude medicine, check.  Arctic medicine, check.  Deep water medicine, check.  But I bet you didn't think of Space Medicine!  We promise it's a thing.  Just not one we know much about.  But we do have fun discussing Total Recall and Apollo 13, and we think you'll have fun coming along for the ride and listening to our vacuum of knowledge on the subject!

This week we wanted to do a podcast about vaccines, and watched Doc Hollywood thinking it had a scene about vaccines.  It didn't.  That's what you get when you rely on google!  And this is what you get this week: vaccine talk surrounding the movie "World War Z,"  and then just random medicine commentary about various Doc Hollywood scenes.  And we don't regret it one bit.
