Warning: The following episode is the product of three extremely tired and slightly deranged individuals.

Leaving Detroit and BLUE COLLAR behind, Andrew and Dave pick up James Hrivnak (the 'H' is silent) along their way to...SPACE! Yes, the three podcasters this time out are turning their attention to BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, the television show whose first three episodes were edited together into a film and unleashed upon Canadian cinemas in the summer of '78. What do the trio make of the film? How drunk is Ray Milland here? And just how much of a hard time will Andrew and Dave give James over the technical issues? Tune in and find out!

Next Episode: IT WAS EARTH ALL ALONG!

Music by Andrew Kannegiesser. Editing by Dave Babbitt. Wackiness by a long work week.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REGULAR EPISODE OF THE SHOW! DON'T START HERE!

When technical issues leave Andrew and Dave waiting for regular guest James Hrivnak to be able to join the Skype call to record the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (1978) episode, the already deeply tired duo start randomly recording their wait and talk about random bits, from where to start listening to the show (not with this episode!) and just wait they are eating while they wait.

Sorry folks.

Next Episode: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. For real.

Having botched the connection from the last episode, Andrew and Dave decided to correct by covering not, one, but TWO films this time out: the first being the film which actually connects to last episodes film, while the second is the film they thought they were going directly to.

So just what are the podcasting duo looking at? None other than JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK and JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT, the self-reflective comedies written, directed, and starring Kevin Smith! The end result ends up being an exploration of the hosts' respective feelings towards Smith, his body of work, and his evolution as a filmmaker.
