Season 7 Episode 9: Screamers

What can I tell you about Screamers?  Well, obviously it's not a silent movie.  There is screaming in it, yeah, but it's a pretty intriguing sci-fi futuristic apocalyptic and sick flick.  The storyline comes from some pretty respectable genre writers, and we've got Peter Weller in a movie that's not Robocop but still quite awesome.  People getting killed by rampaging robots, robots getting blown away by people, and people that aren't people but robots!  See what I mean about the writing?  It's a bleak, paranoid tale of a cold-war future on another planet, and even though it was sort of a box office flop it's become one of my favorites...a movie I've owned on VHS, laserdisc, DVD and Blu-ray.  I probably bought a ticket to see it in the theater back in 1995 as well, so it looks like this movie made quite a bit of money just from me alone!  Sadly, not quite enough to break even.  Sorry, guys!  But thanks for making it!  Hopefully people who listen to this episode will immediately want to buy a copy of Screamers for their home video collection.  That's my sole purpose for recording it!  Enjoy!
