Look to the skies! TV Good Sleep Bad has returned with a look at an obscure joint production from the BBC and what was then known as the SciFi Channel! Hailing all the way from the late nineties, Invasion: Earth serves up six hour-long helpings of alien invasion, dark conspiracies, and surprisingly ruthless storytelling.

In this episode, we discuss:

Invasion: Earth (all six episodes, 1998): A hotshot fighter pilot intercepts an alien craft and finds himself embroiled in a series of horrific events including an attractive scientist, the reappearance of a man reported missing in the ’40s, and a sinister alien plot to take over the world. Starring Vincent Regan (The Royals), Maggie O’Neill (Shameless U.K.), Fred Ward (Tremors), and Anton Lesser (Game of Thrones).

On today's show, Mark and John break down the top five movies of last week's box office.  Before that, they give you news on casting choices for a new Batman feature coming in 2021, Rush Hour 4, and Blumhouse announces they wanna be like Marvel and D.C. and start a shared universe. Later, John and Mark give you their thoughts on the Netflix original movie, Velvet Buzzsaw and than preview some amazing flicks coming soon.  Including Cold Pursuit, Alita: Battle Angel, Happy Death Day 2U, and more.

Did you know that in the entire run of the Academy Awards, there were only six Best Picture nominees in the horror genre? Six.  In this special episode, host The Vern looks back these movies and helps explain why films like The 6th Sense and The Exorcist got several Oscar nominations but Hereditary, can't get one. Thanks for listening.

Mark and John return with a recap of last week's box office including a review of  Glass and a discussion of the Oscar Nominations. Also, great news topics including Christopher Nolan's new movie, Birds of Prey teaser, and a Robocop movie that will be a direct sequel to the 1987 original. All this and more. Thank you for the support.

Before Mark and John give you their expert predictions of the Oscar Nominees over on Cinema Recap, The Vern runs down  his predictions of the four major categories on this bonus episode. He also talks about a few snubs and a few surprises as well.  You can read my predictions below:
