Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

In the second part of Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure’s final film discussion, sadness, cruelty, selflessness, and love are pondered. Both a fond farewell to podcasting and an embarrassing supercut occur.

In the first part of Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure’s final film discussion, Ben reminisces with Alexis about Terry Gilliam, gun violence, homelessness, and mental health crises while Robin Williams sees nude cherubs. 

In the penultimate episode of Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure, Alexis teaches Ben about patriotism, advertising, misery, and romance to the tune of Robin Williams playing the saxophone. 

Ben invites Alexis to experience a spiritual awakening. It’s unclear how much of Ben’s reaction is a manic episode, religious epiphany, or Zen clarity. In any case, Steve Buscemi wore a lady’s head as a hat.

Alexis needs Ben to know that LL Cool J’s hat is like a shark’s fin. If this deeply idiotic movie must be watched to get that point across, then so be it. Evil scientists, demon fish, and Sam Jackson abound.

When Alexis and Ben are too lazy to make up a themed battle, they fall back on telling stories and talking about TV. Real-life Blade vampires and the state of Disney intellectual property are considered.

Ben introduces Alexis to the director Alan Smithee in a movie that was edited by a production company more obsessed with cutting than a pack of cenobites. Space demons and Adam Scott are also present. 

Alexis circles around the sun while Ben stares in horror at a mutilated space-time-continuum. Before they’re done they’ll experience all the whales, punks & nuclear wessels that the 1980s have to offer. 

Ben tries to sell Alexis on some elevated-grim-dark hilarity that’s half a reboot of Se7en and half QAnon cautionary tale. Having all his wildest pop-cultural dreams fulfilled leaves Alexis nonplussed. 

Alexis helps Ben rediscover his love of comic book campiness. 90s college music will be appreciated, grown-ass men will be adopted, and a pair over-the-top supervillains will go Zuckerberg.
