Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis has a riddle for Ben. When is a Godzilla movie not a Godzilla movie? When it’s live-action Dragon Ball! Jump in your favorite Drill Ship with Don “The Predator” Frye because it’s time to be motorcycle-kicked by cheesiness!

Ben introduces Alexis to the tale of a harmless tailor named Garak who harbors a secret past as a Cardassian spy. Just kidding! It’s an 80s horror classic about Sadomasochists from Beyond the Grave! Will this podcast tear your soul apart? Probably.

Alexis has Ben watch a motionless picture where Incompetent Kirk, Pissed-Off Spock and Fashion Victim McCoy battle a space cloud. Also, they aren’t even the main characters in their own movie? But hey! Space cloud! 

Let’s be honest. Ben probably wouldn’t have made Alexis watch this episode of Columbo if Ricardo Montalbán wasn’t in it. On the plus side, it’s not nearly as racist as you might expect! Is his performance any good, or is Montalbán just doing Kahn as a bullfighter? We’re not sure! 

Alexis teaches Ben the most important piece of wisdom he has to offer: Never trust Space Napoleons because they’ll steal your woman and your starship. The uncontrollable sexuality of Ricardo Montalbán and the Clone Wars of the 1990s cannot be contained by your pathetic Earth podcast!  

Ben takes Alexis into the dark recesses of Aaron Sorkin’s back catalogue with a 90’s thriller that is essentially two different movies in one. Boston accents will be assessed. Your hosts will hold a Deposition-Off. Medical ethics will be violated and private laughter will be revealed for all the world to see!

Time for a Wig Watch! Did we say we wanted to watch movies that take a turn at the halfway mark? This one is chopped into thirds. Alexis teaches Ben a lesson in fractions and how not to reboot a franchise by making him watch a “gritty” superhero movie or a crowd pleaser... maybe a body horror psychological thriller?

Hey, listen. Ben has something he wants you to watch but he can’t tell you why. He can’t even tell you why he can’t tell you. And if you go look it up on the internet without watching first, you’ll ruin it. Don’t be a real jerk. Don’t ruin it.

Alexis forces Ben to join his Giant Lizard Task Force. Is this a monster movie? A disaster movie? A political satire? All we know is that The Prime Minister wants his noodles and Toho learned about Morphing.   Cultural misunderstandings fueled this viewing of Shin Godzilla (2016).

The second part of our pilot and Leonard Nimoy battle.  Alexis learns about Ben's Columbo obsession while watching a classic 1973 episode featuring the ersatz Vulcan as a murderous surgeon.
