This week's show is a #QuickCuts episode and we've got some great topics. First we tackle the question of movies as art or product. We get some help discussing that from Sean of @ExtraStarWars. With TEN Fast and Furious movies, are movies like this simply created to sell tickets? How do you tell the art apart from the product. Let's chat. We have some listener voicemail and tweets we'll be featuring as well.

Second topic we're chatting with Andy of the @Holochronicles show. We hear that the toy industry is a changin'. Hasbro firing 1000 employees, Black Series figures no longer have plastic windows, yet adult kids still lead in collectibles purchases? What's happening with the toys? We take a look at the news and speculate on who's buying what? Good stuff.

Last but not least, with all the UFOs being shot down all over the place we ask the question as nerds and sci fi geeks are we prepared for an alien invasion more than the general population? What kind of reactions would we have since we're used to lights in the skies and little green men? Our third guest Tim from @FSFPopcast helps us talk about that.

Episode 144 is here. If you like what you hear, please tell a friend and share your experience. Let us know how you like this one.
