As an official finale to both the year and to Volume 4, we have a Special Issue episode for you. Special Issue episodes don’t follow our traditional format, instead taking a step into more chaotic waters to compare an aspect of the science world with an aspect of the film world. In this episode, authors Keegan Turner-Wood, Phil Linden, and Tyler D. R. Vance follow the suggestion of an absent author (Ilinca Georgescu) to compare the Signal-To-Noise Ratio of Science to Movies that MAY be Christmas movies. Which movies are these? Well, see if you can guess from the Simpsons references below.

If you’d like to review our submission, feel free to email us at [email protected]. You can tell us if you accept our findings, accept them with revisions, or outright reject them.

Episodes form the Arts Union Science podcast can be found on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, and more.
