Join us as we explore an alternate reality where bears dance and sing for our amusement. SciFi summer is almost over but first we absolutely have to talk Beary Barrington and the musical stylings of The Country Bears.
Strange things are afoot under the biosphere and we're not going to stop until we solve the mystery of Dr. Barry and the Arboria Institute. The latest entry in our endless SciFi Summer is 2010's enigmatic Beyond the Black Rainbow.
Bay Area funny boy Chad Optiz joins us to probe the cultural complexities and buddy cop buffoonery of the 1988 film Alien Nation. We also talk sasquatch, childhood memories, old man strength, and interspecies relations. Chad's comedy stuff: https://www.chadopitz.com/
Welcome to the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the content of this episode and blah blah blah you know the rest. Come with us to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
What do you get when you combine computer hacking, a rowdy babysitter, early 90's hip hop, and a lost address book? It's Ghost in the Machine, of course.
A 20 year old nightmare inspired us to revisit Dreamscape (1984) and all we want to do is wake up.
Just like the old saying goes, "Preparation is the key to successful, inconspicuous time travel. Luck is the residue of design." We're coming at you with heavy spoilers, heavy subject matter, and a heavy dose of time-travel as we discuss Predestination (2014).
Sci-Fi Summer starts here! The miracle of childbirth doesn't stand a chance against Arnold Schwarzenegger and an experimental fertility drug in 1994's Junior. We won't need 9 months to get through this one.
The Egg Chronicles reach their terrifying conclusion as we sink our teeth into AVP, Roger Corman's greatest hits, and life itself. Also, stay 'til the end to find out where the Trash Heap goes from here.
Albino aliens, suspicious planets, and twin androids are just the tip of the iceberg. This is part III of our Alien Retrospective, featuring Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

Finally, it's the Alien series retrospective nobody asked for. We discuss our first memories of Alien and its sequel, plus a rundown of things to come.
The latest episode is here and it's two Highlanders for the price of one. We talk buddy chemistry, alley intercourse, blocking out the sun, and more.

From Batfleck to Val Kilmer and beyond, here's roughly 2.5 hours all about grown men who dress up like a bat for one reason...VENGEANCE. This is a new low...even for us. Enjoy.
Is world peace really achievable if we put our attention and resources toward building unfathomably large robots? Get the definitive answer in this episode (probably). Plus: medical issues, bathroom breaks, and much more!
What movies make you lose it? We're counting down some of our favorites flicks for when we positively must unravel.
This time it's Us versus the most hated, and likely misunderstood, movie of all time.

Elliot and Keith are reunited at last! Learn about the confusing and highly dubious circumstances under which Elliot disappeared along with reactions to movies of the last 10 months. The Trash Heap is back!
Elliot might be lost in the movies but that doesn't mean he can't take on the entire Star Wars fandom singlehandedly.
