Team Obscura checks out the 1987 pilot to the cult television series Max Headroom! They also talk about alternate versions of movies that they'd like to see, as well as David Lynch, Star Wars, Back to the Future, Twin Peaks and the Lord of the Rings! Nick also resites the story of the Max Headroom TV hacking incident and has a tantrum at one point or another (probably).

Team Obscura (with special guest Jackson) come together to revisit the Lawnmower Man franchise, inspired by the Stephen King story, and find a convoluted and bloated story about cyberspace, virtual reality, and the internet... Oh, and it's a bad knock-off of the Matrix that inspired a pretty great episode of Community? Yeah, sure.

Released in 1993, Cyborg Cop follows Jack Ryan on a mission to find out what happened to his DEA agent brother on a mission in the Caribbean. Along the way, he fights cyborgs and cops, which only sorta explains why this movie is called Cyborg Cop. We can only assume that the other reason is that the name Robocop was already taken and that this movie wanted to ride on the coat-tails of the third installment in that series.

... Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. This is... Wow. This is... a thing? Team Obscura checks out the unnecessarily tone deaf 1986 teen comedy "Soul Man," a story about a student donning blackface in order to defraud Harvard out of a minority scholarship. It's... well, it's terrible.

Another week of firsts for the show! Nick, Mike and Raekwon sit down (at the same time!) to talk about the 1980 Roger Corman sci-fi B-movie "Battle Beyond the Stars," a movie that reminds the gang of a certain movie that takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
