Hoptimus is joined by Tony from  Tonys Tall Tales to breakdown the 2009 Sci Fi film District 9 by Neil Blomkamp. Was District 9 originally a HALO film? Who are the Prawns? Why is the MNU such a corrupt organization? DO the Nigerian Crime lords know what weapons they have? How do the aliens fuel their ship? Where is District 10?  We ponder all this and more on this episode of the RFC!
