InnerSpace
Synopsis: Innerspace tells the tale of an experimental procedure to shrink a human being and a small vehicle to a size where they could enter the bloodstream of a rabbit. The experiment goes awry, and the soldier - played by Dennis Quaid - ends up being injected into Martin Short. Together they attempt to overcome a number of obstacles - a bad doctor with a British accent, a wealthy landowner, a Russian cowboy played by Star Trek: Voyager’s Doctor - and try to find a way to restore Dennis Quaid to his normal size.
So, lots of science in there, but is it a successful experiment that finds new ways too cure disease by sailing round the bloodstream of a rabbit, or is it like being accidentally injected into Martin Short’s bottom?

I’ve listened to pretty much all the podcasts so far and found them all interesting.
Relevenat to InnerSpace, I was amazed that no one mentioned the problem of mass.
Somebody posited that the shrinkage was effected by reducing the electron orbits of all the atoms, thus reducing the overall volume.
This still leaves a submarine which probably weighs tens of tons. No way that could float in a hypodermic, not to mention in the bloodstream or stomach .
Think of the internal damage which that could cause due to the massive inertia of the sub. The injected person would only need to trip and fall and the sub would pop right out of his body and make a mini-crater in the ground.
