Chris and Tierney wrap up the week and Tierney has a fantastic story about a meteorological event on the set almost (if not more) terrifying as the one shown in the film!

Chris and Tierney refuse to give in to a false sense of security, and Lance Henriksen has his only line in the film. Plus, scary clouds!

...with Jarf from Joe vs. The (Volcano) Minute. Automation in effects photography and electronic music meet during this minute of the movie - two crowning achievements of 1970s technology!

...with Jarf from Joe vs. the (Volcano) Minute. Roy and Jillian don't look well, and Jean Claude looks really nervous while playing the five tones.

Geoffrey "Jarf" Harden of Joe vs The (Volcano) Minute re-joins the podcast for a few episodes this week. Tierney is creeped out by the hovering scout UFOs, Chris is intrigued by all the analog recording equipment.

Dr Jennifer Levasseur from the National Air & Space Museum is here one last time to help us discuss Mother Ship models, cuboids, and the advantages of pre-digital effects.

Jennifer Levasseur - Curator at The National Air & Space Museum - is back to discuss this mostly voice over minute, and helps Chris get over his grudge regarding flowery language from mission control announcers.

Jennifer Levasseur of The National Air & Space Museum is here to discuss the minute, including an in-depth conversation about how the designs of 1970s sci-fi influenced the space programs of today.

For some reason we end up talking a lot about "Jaws" with Museum Curator at the Smithsonian Institute's Air and Space Museum, Jennifer Levasseur!
