Welcome to our first actual recording of the 2024 calendar year! And welcome to our first ever "Half-Baked" episode, where we take media with decent ideas but flawed execution and try to imagine how we would tweak the recipe to make it work. In honor of Alien Mayhem May (Part Two), we watched Jupiter Ascending, a space opera starring Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum and written and directed by the Wachowski sisters. We take what ultimately amounts to an elaborate spin on Mario and Princess Peach and imagine ways it could have lived up to its promising dramatic potential.
