This week, we celebrate the re-emergence of Mario on the big screen with a look at the original Super Mario Bros. movie. Join us for lots of behind the scenes drama, in front of the camera insanity, ample goomba discussion, one host desperate to move on with his life, and another doing a really pretty great Yoshi impression, if I do say so myself.
Next week it's Duncan Jones' Source Code!

This week we welcome special guest host Logan Humphrey to the pod to help us celebrate the 40th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's ET - The Extra Terrestrial. Join us for some legit filmic analysis for once, and the three normal hosts talking about ET's galactic senate commitments, modern cultural nostalgia misery (again), why Christians shouldn't put umbrellas up indoors, and why dog poo is no longer white.
Oh, and here is leather ET:

It's time for Sam's birthday pick, and it's The X-Files! Join us for contractual X arguments, the secret behind the X-Files existence, the birth of Chris' multiverse and an awful lot of Sam breathlessly explaining X-Files lore. Oh, and Agent Bee.
Also, if you ever plan to watch the TV series, watch out - this show is full of spoilers for pretty much the entire thing (although Sam hasn't seen any of this stuff in decades so probably got a lot of it wrong).
Next week, it's the 40th anniversary of E.T. The Extra Terrestrial!

This week Sexy Season starts and stops with the decidedly unsexy weirdo horror film Splice, in which a strange blob of flesh is gross throughout. Join us for the sexiest of topics, like behind the scenes credits chatter, ape/human relation myths busted, a woman who loves a fence, kangaroo second husbands, and lots more! This podcast goes places, and none of them are particularly pleasant.
 
Next episode is Sam's birthday pick - it's The X-Files!

This week future bloodsports season rolls on with John McTiernan's remake of Rollerball, a film that isn't half as interesting as the director's own travails. Wiretaps, bankruptcy and jail - Mctiernan's life story has them all, and this film has...well, none of that and not much else. Still, we discuss the terrible cast, the possibility this is the least cool film of all time, the strangest night vision sequence in cinema history, and maybe, just maybe, it isn't even sci-fi after all.... Oh, we also spend a lot of time discussing Michael Flatley's Blackbird.
Next week, this ridiculous collection of films finally reaches an end with Death Race, the Jason Statham one.
