They should talk about bad science on podcasts. joe has spread more than his fair share of that.

I would have put BTTF 2 up there with BTTF 1 since they tie them together. Marty sees himself from the first movie. I thought that was so cool. Also Deja Vu with Denzel Washington was a nice one. Maybe E.T. also lol.

I am in strong agreement. I am a little more forgiving with the first Matrix and Back to the Future sequels, and I hate Quite Earth, but other than that, I'm in near perfect agreement.

9:31 "No gravity in space"?!? In low Earth orbit?! Oh Neil, you of all people should know that there is practically just as much gravity in low Earth orbit as there is on Earth's surface. Objects in orbit like satellites and the International Space Station are actually free-falling and being pulled by Earth's gravity, but they never hit the earth so long as they maintain a velocity of 28,800 km per hour parallel to the Earth's surface. Satellites fly sideways so fast that they continually over-shoot the Earth while free-falling.

32:15 Spoken like someone that has never had a psychedelic experience in their life...

23:24 SO FKN WHAT?!?! IT WAS THE FKN 70'S!!! Unless they specifically wanted to portray a black person/culture then they DIDNT!!! Ever seen the original Willy Wonka? Not a SINGLE non- white/orange person in the ENTIRE movie. Ya know why?! CAUSE IT WAS THE FKN 70's!!!!!!!

NDT is a classic narcissist

I hate that he even tries to speculate on time travel....

You said "X-ing", so I give this video a... **F**

My ranking of the films mentioned (the ones I've watched) --> S-tier = The Martian, Contact, Deep Impact A-tier = Interstellar, Independence Day B-tier = Gravity, Back to the Future, 2001: A Space Odyssey C-tier = Armageddon What can I say? I like my Sci-Fi rock hard. Funny that Neil didn't say anything about Star Wars. I guess he would rate it as low as possible - based on science. But that would cause public outrage, I imagine. Star Wars isn't really about science though, even though it's classified as Sci-Fi. The real meat of it is about relationships & psychology, about the ethics of good vs. evil, and how to find inner truths. Although I guess that's the same as Armageddon, which also didn't really give a damn about the scientific accuracy. It was all about the adventure and romance in that one. Anyway, thank-you for coming to my TED-talk.

I feel smarter after listening to Neil.

Theres like 3 good movies in the whole list lol

I love me some Neil deGrasse, but I think Gravity should be an "A" movie. For crying out loud it was one of only a very few movies that made sure space was QUIET! And really, her bangs? I was constantly looking for boo boos and could find hardly any! Gravity is just a freaking fantastic movie that was done with just TWO actors (well, and Ed Harris' voice) with Sandra Bullock driving the entire movie. That is very, very hard to not only do, but to see anymore that kind of tight, one/two person act.

@Startalk Plus, I'd also compare Independence Day to the 1980's miniseries called "V". that series also uses a virus to defeat the aliens and just like later in Independence Day, the aliens appeared in large circular ships over all of the world's major cities.

Man Neil has some good looking parents

I don't think the machines needed "energy" per se from the humans. I believe it was the processing power of the human brain.... I'll have to go re-watch. it's been years.

Fun video to have on in the background to listen to! My favorite of Neil’s list is probably Interstellar ( I know ) but The Blob is special to me because it was my first horror hehe

Our evil origin story

What I liked about the "Back to the Future" movies is the demonistration of time-travel-based manufacturing. By the time Marty goes back to the 50's the first time there are already 2 Deloreans there from the other movies. He might have a problem registering all 3 having the same VINs and all...

In Arrival, it's a Mathematician, not Physicist.

Thanks for your interesting video. Your viewers might enjoy this video showing under the right conditions, the quantization of a field is easily produced. The ground state energy is induced via Euler’s contain column analysis. Contain column m must come in to play before over buckling or the effect will not work. The system response in a quantized manor when force is applied in the perpendicular direction. Bonding at the points of highest probabilities and maximum duration( peeks and troughs) of the fields/sheet produced a stable structure out of three fields People say I am just plucked guitar strings. I said you can not make structures with vibrating guitar strings or harmonic oscillators. czcams.com/video/wrBsqiE0vG4/video.htmlsi=waT8lY2iX-wJdjO3 At this time I’m my research, I have been trying to describe the “U” shape formed. In the model, “U” shape waves are produced as the loading increases and just before the wave-like function shifts to the next higher energy level. Over-lapping all the waves frequencies together using Fournier Transforms, I understand makes a “U” shape or square wave form. Wondering if Feynman Path Integrals for all possible wave functions could be applicable here? If this model has merit, seeing the sawtooth load verse deflection graph produced could give some real insight in what happened during the quantum jumps. The mechanical description and white paper that goes with the video can be found on my CZcams page. You can reproduce my results using a sheet of Mylar* ( the clear plastic found in school folders. Seeing it first hand is worth the effort!

Neil deCorp

Interstellar deserved better

Can't agreed to disagree!!

She is beautiful inside and out!

OK Neal I now like you. LOL!

Talk about your own point of view.

Some movie’s Background music is better than whole other movie

Yeah we need a part two for this video. 😂

Star Trek: The Motion Picture? Terminator 2? The Thing The Blob (remake)

Gotta love joe rogan and neil tyson pod

Matrix: this line is tapped... go to the Adam Street Bridge. hahaha that was so stupid:)

Just a question pops in my mind: Why do you pronounce Europa differently depending on if you refer to the continent or the satellite when it's the same name (They both come from the same origin) ?

while not stated on the film, my head canon has always been that humans provided the processing power for machines, not kw’s.

I believe the original Matrix had the humans used as part of a neural network, not as batteries. The Martian was full of shit, specifically the perchlorate poison potatoes would kill him, also the protein supplements the Chinese sent liquified under g-force and imbalanced the rocket? No protein does this and unless its in huge bulk its mass wouldnt imbalance anything. Also the tarp over the hab would be tight as a drum under HUGE pressure.

I love it!! I😂😂😂

Neil, just because they are both called viruses doesn't mean the are the same thing.

5th dimensional photons do though

It's 5th dimensional light

I don't agree with this ranking at all.

Watch “The Expanse”; all 6 seasons

What would you rate the movie Lucy with Scarlett Johansson?

It’s just a movie

The Earth knew tentacles before it knew leaves.

13:45 I would actually disagree here😅 A hoverboard practically makes every terrain equally "hoverable", while on a skateboard with wheels every little bump and rock is a threat that may send you flying and breaking your bones

What the f, Neil? You rated Close Encounters UNDER Armageddon? Ridiculous.

Your mom reminds me of the many older generation Puerto Rican women in my life. Head strong and inspirational. Makes a way for everyone to get ahead where there is none. Feliz dia de las madres ❤

Neil = wannabe genius

Hmm, Neil decides CE3K is only worthy of a D then decides to go off on one about 'presentism'. Odd, as he perhaps hasn't really paid attention to the Devils Tower finale scenes. While no lead scientists are black for sure, there are numerous black actors dotted throughout the larger landing site ensemble as well as several women too. They are clearly there to see if you just pay attention. And that also applies to the chosen red suited astronauts with at least two women and one black man amongst them. So he's well off the mark with that criticism. Let's not also forget that Carl Weathers features earlier in the film and right up front we have the black air traffic controller.

Ex Machina not mentioned but creepy. Aliens just as frightening as Alien. Moon great idea and of course acted superbly. 2001 tops: must have seen it 30 times as a kid. I would like to see the unedited versions of Frank Poole and Dave interacting more. Anything that blows up in space gets a big F, not only because you can’t hear anything in space, but because spectacle is drivel.
