Welcome to The Manufictioners Club, a podcast that explores the business behind some of your favorite fictional technology. Everyone likes to think about the cool gadgets and gizmos science fiction has to offer, but we’re here to talk about just how all of it would get made. Each episode, the crew breaks down a different element of the product development process and gets way off into the weeds with all sorts of nerdy goodness.

In season two our hosts Zaheen, Karl, and Sean explore Arthur C. Clarke’s third law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Join us for part one of our discussion about the magical world of Doctor Strange, and answer some of your most pressing questions: If magic is technology, are spells equivalent to apps? Who is Clarion Ouzo and why does his name sound so familiar to Francis Ford Coppola fans? And can plaid be a good school mascot?
