In Defense of Lost in Space Aug 28, 2026

Show notes

Join Dan and Aaron as they discuss the history, making-of, and themes of 1998's Lost in Space. This over-stuffed blockbuster responsible for dethroning TITANIC from the #1 spot at the box office (and little else) has got to be one of the most ambitious movies ever tackled on this podcast. With a vibrant cast, brilliant music, nearly 800 visual effects shots, and extraordinary sets, there's something for everyone to love in retrospect. So join us as we go on a nostalgia bender in the ultimate millennial-core episode to uncover everything worth loving about Lost in Space.

We're back with a mainline episode, and we believe it may have been worth the wait. This episode has been a long time coming, and may possibly be our most unhinged episode to date. We hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did recording and editing it.
