What does life on other planets look like? Is it unimaginable, because it would have developed in such drastically different circumstances than on Earth? Or would it look like a bunch of dongs coming out of some lady bits, with an unquenchable thirst for copper? Well this week, Invaders from Mars conclusively proves the latter! It’s a film for anyone who had a crush on their school nurse, or looked at Krang (from the Ninja Turtles) and thought, “Yeah...this guy f***s!” Join us in Bud Court as we litigate this movie!

This week, grab your dear and darling one and listen for the music of the bells as the crew takes a trip to rural Ireland! Bridget breaks out a frightening tale of love, leprechauns, and the banshee who just won’t leave them alone. It’s Darby O’Gill and the Little People, starring Sean Connery as not-actually-Darby-oh-he’s-just-the-co-star(?) and a bunch of leprechauns without screen credits (because it’d ruin the magic... and cost Walt Disney some of that precious leprechaun coin).

We’re back again with Fidget Creative’s John Crawford, as he digs into why Hackers inspired him to not now, nor ever, become a hacker. So hack the Gibson to hear us talk about the film’s thrilling conclusion, how the film inspired a generation of engineers and as we try to figure out dress-wearing logistics.

Fidget Creative’s John Crawford, a man who is not now nor has never been a hacker, joins us to talk about the most inspiring movie of his youth: Hackers! The sensationalized (yet surprisingly grounded) story of hacking whiz kid Dade Murphy (Johnny Lee Miller), watch as he tries to win the affection of fellow hacker Kate (Angelina Jolie), and social engineers his way through his hardest hack yet: high school.

An underachieving, obsessive stalker needs to convince an audience that he’s not a complete screw up in 86-minutes. If Underachiever creeps on Lara Flynn Boyle, spends his entire tuition fund on advice from Nora Dunn and Phil Hartmann, eats food off Anthony Edwards plate and makes Charles Rocket angry, how many Tichina Arnolds will get in college? The answer to this stress question and more in this week’s episode!

So a priest, a pseudo-physicist, and a bunch of middle-aged grad students walk into a church... it’s John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness! Join the crew on this late night podcast where they talk science, Satan, and the devil’s obsession with water sports. You too can lose your damn minds staring at a green lava lamp. Listen to find out how!

This week we’ve got the most torpid muppets this side of Podling Village. Christopher Brown of Zero Science Network brings us the 1982 Jim Henson fantasy epic The Dark Crystal. Epic, in this case, is defined as slow, boring, and lending to a general unease due to its proximity to the uncanny valley, right? So grab your comfort pipe and pour yourself some Podling Essence because you’re going to need all the energy you can get.
Don’t forget to check out Christopher’s other shows like Old Men Yell at Cloud and Nickelbackin’ at http://www.zero-science.com/

Very special guest Danielle Brown (of Treefort Five) brings us a tale of adventure, amazing engineering, and forbidden romance that surely got us on put on a government watch list. That story is The Blue Lagoon, the 1980 Christopher Atkins-is-an-adult-man and Brook Shields-is-way-too-young coming of age island drama. So get ready to cover up those hoochie coochies and set sail to San Farisco.

Ah, Rats. This week is all about the 1982 Don Bluth directed The Secret of NIMH, starring all manner of rodents, birds, and one lazy-as-hell evil cat. Also, there’s some magic (Matt disapproves), some romance (Bridget approves but wanted MORE), and a tone that’s about one notch less dour than The Last Unicorn.

This week, Matt brings a cinematic gem to the table: the 1986 cult classic Chopping Mall. Do you like tank-like Killbots, pepperoni-scented sexual encounters, and daughters of marines? Then boy, do we have the movie for you! Seriously though, we loved this movie. We’re begging you, give this one a watch.
