No, we're not scraping the bottom of the barrel. Anyone expecting we review "The Room" might be disappointed, though for one of us this was his first viewing. We discuss the artistic value of the film and what good there is to be mined from it.

The upcoming movie "Civil War" has (some) of our attention. But in a politically fraught era, is this movie safe or does artistic freedom give it carte blanche despite the times? Then, the boys talk about the new mascot for one notable Santa Clarita high school.

Season Five of "Mars on Life" goes off with Customs and Border Patrol scam calls, Shen Yun, recollections of the New Hampshire primary and some election forecasting. Simply put, it's as classic of an episode as it can get.

Welcome to the season finale and 200th episode of "Mars on Life." The boys are together one more time to play a game of chance for each of them to take over the discussion and let go of something on their chests, from the Mouse and copyright, to memoirs, to fandoms, to new podcasts and the term "Cali."

We want to thank our listeners for continuing to stick with us and all those who have supported us on this long journey. Season 5 and the show's four-year anniversary are coming soon, with more changes to come. Keep going and join us. You'll make it to Mars.
