645: Oh No, My Spleen!


Listen Later

Our annual Kilmas tradition leads us to watch the questionable 2000 sci-fi film “Red Planet,” in which Val Kimer is at his best, and several other actors are also present. Also, the main plot points of this film are so similar to “The Martian” that we’re now convinced Andy Weir must have seen this film and vowed to do it better. But if you’ve ever wanted to watch a dumber version of “The Martian,” have we found the movie for you.

Oh Val Kilmer, oh Val Kilmer

Your acting skills are a wonder
In films like “Top Gun” and “Batman”
You’ve brought joy to fans and haters alike
With your handsome face and charming smile
You’ve captured hearts for quite a while

A role that will never fade away
So on this festive KILMAS night
We raise a glass and toast to you
Here’s to Val Kilmer, a true delight
Merry KILMAS and a happy new year too!
