Heat Vision & Jack

Listen Later

Episode 25. We watched the 1999 pilot for Heat Vision & Jack, starring Jack Black as an experimental astronaut on the run, and the voice of Owen Wilson as his talking motorcycle. We discuss the introduction from director Ben Stiller, the purposefully low-budget effects, one very talented exotic dancer, and the 25th anniversary of Family Guy.
