Jim is shocked (shocked, we tell you!) and amazed to learn that neither Alan nor Paul has ever seen 1979’s “Mad Max” before, so he sets out to school them in dystopian car chase movies.
In this episode, Alan and Paul dive into yet another movie from 1979: the oft-maligned “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.”
Paul and Alan explore “The Black Hole” (1979) as Paul breaks out his cereal toys and Alan breaks out his action figures. Wait, is that NORMAN FREAKING BATES in space?
Alan and Paul talk about 1980’s “Flash Gordon.” One loved it, the other less so. Somehow, it devolves into a discussion about Zach Snyder’s DC films (one hates them, the other MUCH less so) before coming back to say that not everything is perfect, but there’s fun to be found everywhere!
Before stirring up controversy with “The Last Jedi” and creating Benoit Blanc in the “Knives Out” movies, Rian Johnson made a little film called “Looper.” In this episode, Derek comes from the future to join Alan and PJ in a discussion of the 2012 time-travel film. Pay no attention to that plastic sheet….
