The World's Only Podcast™ about bizarre, overlooked, and misbegotten media
Tim attempts to convey the charm and innovative spirit of Soviet filmmaker Pavel Klushantsev to his lazy, lazy cohost! Hear the whole episode at our Patreon and get access to more than 50 bonus episodes!
We mentioned the Klushantsev documentary The Star Dreamer, but don’t miss the original films! We loved the dog in a spacesuit in Mars.
For the exact opposite of Klushantsev’s optimistic vision, check out our episode on Paul W.S. Anderson’s space-based nightmare, Event Horizon!

For a more dismal brand of horny sci-fi, try our episode on The Doomsday Machine!
Tim holds forth excitedly about “the most accurate depiction of virtual reality as a profound concept that is silly in its execution.” Based on the Stephen King lawsuit!
GenXers may remember Nintendo’s failed “virtual reality” console, the Virtual Boy. If you’re unfamiliar and were wondering what the heck we were talking about, you can’t go wrong with the Angry Video Game Nerd’s very funny and profane video on the topic.
Here’s that Tom the Dancing Bug comic Tim didn’t get a chance to summarize (it parodies “Flowers for Algernon”).
You know how sometimes a movie just sucks and is lazy and stupid and sexist? That’s The Doomsday Machine, all right! Bitter Karella joins us to discuss!

You can watch The Doomsday Machine in its entirety on YouTube, but why would you? Try the very funny Cinematic Titanic version instead!
This is actually the second movie starring Bobby Van (a favorite actor of Jen’s) we’ve covered on the show. The first was lumbering musical Lost Horizon—listen to our episode about it here.
Tim and Jen revisit an early Paul W.S. Anderson film called Event Horizon and discover that he hasn’t always sucked. Hear the whole episode at our Patreon and get access to more than 50 bonus episodes!
For more Sam Neill-starring horror, try our episode on John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness!
Matt Jay guests and brings us the amusing TerrorVision! We also go hard as fuck on Leonard Maltin and his stupid movie guide.
Want more 80s cult mania? Listen to our episode on a movie about an alien who eats Italian people, Eat and Run!
Jen and Tim are completely confounded by a lackadaisical sci-fi (kinda?) TV series called Gemini Man. This one emerged from the most cursed decade for television, the 1970s.

Jen, Tim, and guest Kristian Boruff dissect something even more pointless than Funko Pops: a Ghostbusters fan film from 2007! It’s called Return of the Ghostbusters, and Kris does not care about burning bridges in this episode.
Tim and Jen find themselves unexpectedly charmed and delighted by a combo of sci-fi, horror, thriller, and schlock: Split Second, from 1992! We discuss the wrong-headed marketing for the film and the delights of mini-guns and cigars shared by two dear male friends.
A hilarious trailer, probably for the video release:
