Jason and Rosie convene the X-Ray Vision producers to a conclave to once and for all define the boundaries of the genre called science fiction. Joelle let's loose the incendiary opinion that the Star Wars franchise is in fact not a part of the genre. Abu tries to introduce Snow Piercer, Rosie is aghast when the entire table turns against the anime classic Akira, and Jason argues against Everything Everywhere All At Once. From there, the table erupts into chaos. What is the Jurassic Park Contingency? How will the Iron Giant Correlate impact a fan favorite? And, how does Carmen remain the queen of movies?!
