Ep. 34 - The Martian (2015) Aug 28, 2019

Show notes

How does one improve upon a film that is largely considered to be a modern Sci-Fi classic? Maybe try de-smuggifying the main character a bit.

The Martian is directed by Ridley Scott, written by Drew Goddard and Andy Weir, and stars Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, and Sean Bean, who amazingly does not die in this film.

Ep 31 - The Dark Crystal (1982) Mar 27, 2019

Show notes

Journey back into your childhood as we revisit Jim Henson's classically pretty good puppet drama. Whether you were horrified as a child, or are being horrified for the first time as an adult, I'm sure you'll agree that the Skeksis power dynamics could use some shoring up. The Dark Crystal is directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, written by David Odell, and stars Aarthur the Aardvark, a bunch of potato people, and a society of beef jerky vulture people.
