Smoking and Drinking in Space!

Ep. 30 – District 9 (2009)

In this week’s episode we discuss Neill Blomkamp’s piercing look into the dark heart of the human condition and what might be the only scenario where humanity would actually drop their pettiness over their superficial differences and treat each other as equals (which would be to replace those petty differences with an alien species); it’s … Continue reading Ep. 30 – District 9 (2009) →

Ep. 29 – Cowboys and Aliens (2011)

This week Rob is back to guest host with us and we discus Jon Favreau’s fun little summer sci-fi action flick with an all-star cast including Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig that sees a group of Old West frontier townsfolk square up against and alien horde with gold fever, it’s 2011’s Cowboys and … Continue reading Ep. 29 – Cowboys and Aliens (2011) →

Ep. 28 – The Arrival (1996)

In this week’s episode we welcome guest host Rob with a truly awful film of R.I.P.D. proportions starring hot mess Charlie Sheen and that lady from Northern Exposure, it’s 1996’s The Arrival.

Ep. 27 – The Running Man (1987)

This week’s sauced up episode we talk about the dystopian, reality TV fueled future/present starring everyone’s favorite beefcake Austrian, 1987’s The Running Man.  The parallels to modern day media and current events hit much closer to home than we think anyone would have imagined 30 years ago.  

Ep. 26 – R.I.P.D. (2013)

This week we discuss and then desperately try to forget 2013’s wet fart of a movie starring future Deadpool, The Dude, and Mr. Six Degrees himself.  Please, take it from us, skip this movie.  We’ve suffered so you don’t have to.

Ep. 25 – Alien (1979)

In this week’s episode we discuss Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror classic that launched a franchise and a crossover and made an indelible mark on sci-fi as a whole: Alien.

Ep. 24 – Predator (1987)

In this week’s episode we reunite with our favorite musclebound Austrian in his attempt to go from hunted to hunter in the testosterone filled movie “Predator”.  Join us as we make excuses as to why the Predator is not very good at predation and discuss why a lot of sci-fi falls back to violence for … Continue reading Ep. 24 – Predator (1987) →

Ep. 23 – The Terminator (1984)

In this week’s episode we discuss the movie that launched a franchise, made Arnold Schwarzenegger a household name and propelled James Cameron to superstar filmmaker status; it’s 1984’s The Terminator.

Ep. 22 – They Live (1988)

In this week’s episode we talk about John Carpenter’s 1988 sci-fi discourse on Reaganomics starring everyone’s favorite bagpipe playing wrestler, They Live!  A movie depicting one of the longest, rawest and most notable fight scenes in a film, They Live is an in-your-face look at the excesses and commercialism that was rampant in the 80’s.

Ep. 21 – Space: 1999 (Seasons 1 and 2)

In this week’s episode we discuss, and desperately try to forget, 1975’s British-Italian fuster-cluck of a sci-fi series, Space: 1999.  There was drinking involved, lots of drinking.
