Do not, my friends, become too addicted to movies. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.

Grab your guzzoline and fire up those engines, we are on a one-way road straight into the wasteland this week. We are talking all things gross and grimy in Fury Road and absolutely singing the praises of the costume and makeup teams on this movie. We couldn't think of a better way to finish 100 years of Sci Fi than this. We shall join you in the halls of Valhalla, witness me!

We did it! A whole episode about Star Trek! We delve into JJ Abrams take on creating a new Star Trek timeline and how a 21st century eye influenced the costumes, and what stayed true to the original. This is uniform talk from top to bottom. So beam on up, we are about to hit warp speed. Also- which original crew member are you most like?

Welcome to an unfiltered conversation (verging on rant) about people disregarding all the work that goes into the costumes in this show. Ariel and Melinda are sick of the opinions disguised as fact in conversations online. It's also unfiltered because we were contending with construction noise and cat activity. Consider yourself warned and consider the entire internet on notice.

The Matrix has you...and us. We're fangirling out on this episode, sorry not sorry. What can you expect from good honest millennial nerds? We tried to look at it with fresh eyes, don't know that we totally succeeded there. There are some moments of background noise, we asked for a clean program to run this recording but it doesn't always work out that way. Follow the white rabbit.

Back at it with Episode 5, with all the mean girls of Middle Earth. All the dirty tricks are coming out this episode and we are looking forward to where the story is going. We haven't done the reading so we are just along for the ride.

This episode is a pretzel of various lines of thinking all twisting around each other, aka fitting for a time travel movie. We love the future fashion predictions and seeing characters at different life and fashion stages. And justice for poor Jennifer, they did her so dirty in this movie. We discuss trivia from IMDB and again take it for gospel fact because we didn't look anywhere else. Jump in the car for this journey, but try not to get chloroformed.

Pals, this is not Star Wars ok? It's totally unique and (for legal reasons)  any similarities to other events in a galaxy far, far away are purely coincidental. Besides, this movie has enough going on that you won't be sad. We've got a lot of alien attire to cover from terrifying robot dogs, multi-faced singers, polyester medieval costumes, and of course a lot of sweaty faces because this is the 70's.
