    Space the Nation

    On Space the Nation, we take our love of science fiction (and fantasy and horror) and smash it together with our professional passions: international relations (as brought to the table by Tufts University professor and Washington Post columnist Dan Drezner) and cultural criticism (as brought to the table by political columnist Ana Marie Cox). It’s a highly informed but hilarious conversation that starts with an examination of a particular text (everything from Ursula K. LeGuin to the MCU, Star Trek to Colson Whitehead) and veers into current events, mental health practices and imagined conversations between Ted Cruz and the Predator. For people who like white papers and graphic novels, Chapo Trap House and what Political Science Twitter used to be.

    THE COLONY (FISHMAS PAST) Dec 21, 2024
    Show notes

    I'm dreaming of a terrible movie / Just like the ones Dan nominates / Where the plot is leaden / And acting deadens / But Laurence Fishburne's charisma dominates, so dominates...


    Continuing Fishmas with one of the worst movies we've done for this pod--and Fishburne is still fantastic. Look for our other Fishmas classics on the feed! Become a Patron to skip the ads!

    EVENT HORIZON (FISHMAS PAST) Dec 21, 2024
    Show notes

    Sam Neill baby / slipped a time-space fold under the tree / for me

    I'm an awful good captain / Sam Neill, baby / so let's get the f*ck out this is much too creepy for me


    Fishmas Past continues with one of our favorite episodes of all time! Please enjoy our Fishmas Present episodes, including the upcoming Matrix Reloaded as well as the recently-out Contagion!

    THE MATRIX (FISHMAS PAST) Dec 21, 2024
    Show notes

    Have yourself a merry little Fishmas / Let your pill be red / From now on this movie's themes / will be misread...


    Happy holidays! Please enjoy our other Fishmas offerings, including the new episodes for Contagion and (soon to drop) Matrix Reloaded.

    CONTAGION (FISHMAS PRESENT) Dec 21, 2024
    Show notes

    Merry Fishmas! We celebrate all things somber and authoritative with a selection of Laurence Fishburne masterpieces. In addition to Contagion, we're re-releasing our other Fishburne bangers including audience favorite Event Horizon and the truly execrable The Colony (our only episode devoted to script doctoring!).


    However, be forewarned: This is a non-jolly re-watch. Contagion has aged all too well, even four years after lockdown.


    We appreciate your patience with our erratic posting as of late: Dan got sick, Ana's house sprung a leak, and, you know ::gestures vaguely::


    We hope you're doing ok.

    SPACEGIVING 2024 Dec 07, 2024
    Show notes

    Welcome to the annual tradition of Spacegiving, where Dan and Ana discuss the science fiction and genre creations they're grateful for or haven't had a chance to cover during the year. The episode is delayed but just as relevant as ever--can't we celebrate gratitude all year long?

    Discussed: House of the Dragon, Silo, Titanium Noir, Constellation, Agatha All Along, Parable of the Sower, video essays from HBomber and Jenny Nicholson, and The Penguin (among others)!

    STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE “IN A MIRROR, DARKLY” Nov 25, 2024
    Show notes

    Ana and Dan put on their midriff-baring uniforms for this visit to the Mirror Universe, in Star Trek: Enterprises spin on the familiar Trek plot device that allows your favorite characters play slutty Halloween versions of themselves. There's IR but not enough critique of capitalism to sustain Ana's interest.

    S4E45: BATTLESTAR GALATICA Nov 04, 2024
    Show notes

    Ana and Dan can't number their episodes correctly. Okay, that's totally on me, Ana, who writes these episode descriptions. I also originally gave him the wrong episode numbers to talk about; luckily, he understood what I was interested in (the occupation of New Caprica) and so the numbering didn't matter. Something to think about.


    This show is about the occupation of New Caprica by the cylons which has no parallels to anything that has ever happened on Earth.

    S4E42: DR. STRANGELOVE Oct 21, 2024
    Show notes

    Ana and Dan are in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with! There is some IR in this movie. (This is part of our October Surprise series on sci-fi adjacent political thrillers!)

    S4 E41: UPGRADE Oct 14, 2024
    Show notes

    Ana and Dan become human Swiss Army knives, but without the nail files, because does anyone use that one? Welcome to a movie that we both liked! Logan Marshall-Green transcends being "not Tom Hardy" and the asshole boyfriend in Prometheus in this tightly-wound little body-horror thriller. There is IR as well as tech mogul named ERON. Eron.

    ENCORE: CIVIL WAR Oct 06, 2024
    Show notes

    First of all, Civil War is now streaming! Also, Civil War is even more terrifying than it was in April. Sorry for the lack of a new episode, things have been ::gestures at US election:: If you are a US citizen, please check your registration and vote as soon as you are able. Find out more here.
