Strap into your jaeger and prepare to hit the breach as Renay and Jodie team up to discuss Pacific Rim, the monsters versus robots film of our hearts. We lavish love on Mako Mori (OUR QUEEN), weep over the potential reality of Idris Elba as the Sean Bean of SF, and ponder the nature of love in action film narratives (if you don't ship Hermann/Newt, we cannot be friends). Complete spoilers for Pacific Rim, season two of Teen Wolf, and the end of Prometheus.
