In this first episode in a month-long series on films by Tim Burton, Germ and Zach discuss Mars Attacks!, the dynamic cast, the lunacy and satire of humans under attack, how this film influenced Burton's attempted Superman film (which unlocks up some Nic Cage appreciation, because ... Nic Cage), the 1962 Topps-issued card series and Burton's love for old school sci-fi movies that inspired the film, and the many feelings people express over some of Burton's choices--including his use of Danny Elfman's soundtracks.

Also, Germ tries to cuss and we discuss the best way to kill aliens ... ever.
