We’re taking a little break between seasons; here’s why.

The Visitors are not your friends... but John and Adam are, and this week they're recalling all of the forked-tongue, bare-chested, jaw-dislodging, laser-firing, alien-baby-birthing delights of the greatest alien invasion story ever.

With the Hourchive to themselves this week, John jumps in the hate seat as guest Hourchivist Chelsea moderates an exploration of the enduring appeal of Ethan Hawke, the flavorless nature of M&Ms, the indifference of France, the emotional vacancy of The Shawshank Redemption, and the corresponding Disney Fab Five counterparts to the Queer Eye Fab Five.
