After nearly a decade away, Radio Angry returns with hosts Michael Amidei and JT Gunter for an all-new season—kicking things off with a deep dive into three unforgettable Mars movies: The Martian (2015), Mission to Mars (2000), and Red Planet (2000).
From Ridley Scott’s gripping, science-driven survival story starring Matt Damon, to Brian De Palma’s ambitious and mysterious space epic with Gary Sinise, to the chaotic, underrated sci-fi thriller led by Val Kilmer—we break down each film through our signature lens: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Which Mars movie is the most realistic? Which one swings the biggest? And which one completely loses orbit? We debate performances, storytelling, visual effects, scientific accuracy, and rewatchability—before delivering our final rankings from best to worst.
If you love sci-fi movies, space exploration films, Mars survival stories, or just great movie debates, this is the perfect episode to jump into the new era of Radio Angry.
