Battlefield Earth


Listen Later

This week we are recording by the riverfront to bring you the film, Battlefield Earth. Let us begin by saying, DO. NOT. WATCH. THIS. MOVIE. We have done all the heavy lifting here, so just come along for the ride, laugh with us and be glad you didn't suffer the way we suffered... SUFF-ERE-DUH.

 
Giant, dread locked, mega-crotched, never-met-a-toothbrush beings from the planet, Pyschlo, have taken over earth with one question in mind; where the gold at? A nonsensical storyline, too many Dutch angles, the term man-animal repeated almost 30 times and terrible acting from legitimately great actors combine to create the film the Razzies dubbed "The Worst Drama in 25 Years."
 
Even with its outrageous amount of downfalls, this movie still gives us a lot to discuss; the Midori-obsessed race of Psychlos, are there even Psych-ladies, Rats--it's what's for dinner, breath gas and zero profanity but neat substitutes like "knothead" and "what the crap?" There's a guy with three chins referred to as "your planetship," a learning machine, an interesting transition from sticks to warships, we try our hand at speaking man-animal, question their cake knowledge, read some awesome listener comments and make the giant elephant in the room as comfortable as possible. All this and so much more, on this week's Reel Fun Times.
