Movie riffraff - Space Truckers

It's an unpolished gem, a movie that has heart in the writing but ham in the acting and iffy production. Starring names such as Dennis Hopper and Charles Dance, one could easily think that Space Truckers would be of some quality, but that notion is quickly dispelled. Still, the movie in entertaining and well worth to watch for some laughs.

Suspension of disbelief and how it's broken - DRH S1E48
