Ben Burris returns to pinch hit for Jose Canseco as our Guest Cohost, and kinda nails the first several bars of “Turtle Power” (Partners In Kryme), and as a result we grow, specifically in intellect, to discuss his COMBO BREAKING pick “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (1990 dir. Steve Barron) Starring: Judith Hoag, Elias Koteas, and Josh Pais. (The V & B) An episode in which we help each other, draw upon one another(s Henson fandom), and are always reciprocating the power that binds us. The same is what brought us here tonight, that which I gladly return with these words: I love you all, our audience. 12/29!

Welcome to the party, pals! (pause) PAUL'S PRETTY PUNCTUAL PARTY! Where we pay our respects to another Paul, Dir: Paul Verhoeven, and his 1997 sci-fi/satire/war film "Starship Troopers." (Based on the novel by Robert Heinlein) Starring: Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Neil Patrick Harris, and Michael Ironside. Can a propaganda film, be wrapped in a propaganda film, and then wrapped in a delicious tortilla of satire? If not, well, they sure as hell tried. We discuss - the odds, military ranking based on acting ability, the beauty of the grey (embrace the “groutfit”), and of course HARDCORE NUDITY. 

Plot: Humans in a fascist, militaristic future wage war with giant alien bugs

Guest co-host Rachael Fosket ("The Librarians," "Midway" - 2019 ) joins Paul for a little trip to "The Shop Around the Corner" (d. Lubitsch 1940). Starring: Margaret Sullivan, and Jimmy Stewart. Budapest, 3 o'clock in the morning, and were looking for a thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck ("Twins") pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's Paul, Rachael, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. Rachael managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shop owner and his son... that's a different story altogether...nasty business, really. But, sure enough, we got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show. It's really just a nice holiday movie though. 12/9!
