Open the pod bay doors, HAL. I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that. We are joined by Matthew Ross from The VOD Squad to discuss the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. This movie doesn’t have any of the fancy CGI of today’s movies, and we discuss whether the practical effects of this movie still work 50-60 years later? Plus, Matt and Willie debate whether the pacing actually helps the story or not and we compare IBM’s Watson to HAL 9000, a supercomputer that won a rap battle against Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. I promise it makes sense.

I don’t know how to put this, but I’m kind of a big deal. Sarah Lane from the Daily Tech News Show and Have Such A Good Day joins us to talk about Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and we talk about how this movie exposes how sexist news stations in the 70s used to be through the use of comedy, but do the jokes still land in 2022? Plus, Sarah tells us how she got into broadcasting and how playing around with a camera and microphone as a kid got her to where she is today and it turns out there’s more truth to the news station brawl scene than you might realize at first.

Uh oh, sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays! We are joined by Preston Monroe, the creator of the modern version of Showbot.tv to discuss the movie Office Space! We talk about how this movie has all the tropes of working an office job from the printer constantly not working to the cat and mouse game of having to bounce back and forth from HR to the boss and back to HR to address an issue.

Plus, Preston has some useful tips on how to escape work early and Willie has a major problem with Peter’s careless attitude about showing up late to work, Preston provides some insight on why it’s actually super difficult to get fired from an office job.

Witness me! *thud* Mediocre! We are joined by the founder of the Frogpants network Scott Johnson to discuss the movie Mad Max: Fury Road! We talk about how there aren’t many details given about who Mad Max is, the universe he’s in and why he’s on the run from Immortan Joe, Scott explains why the lack of information and context actually makes the movie more enjoyable for him. Plus, we speculate whether Immortan Joe is a king, a dictator or is he actually a god and Scott has mentioned many times that this particular movie is his favorite movie in all of cinema, he explains once and for all why.

I ain’t heard no fat lady! Forget the fat lady. You’re obsessed with fat lady. Drive us out of here! Anthony Lemos from the Ritual Misery podcast joins the show as we discuss the movie Independence Day and we discuss from a military perspective why it seems that Captain Hiller is the only one to eject out of his fighter jet and why it’s important for military members to not give up until there’s no other option on the table. Plus, politicians do be lying sometimes and this movie perfectly showcases this, we explain why and this movie was supposed to be shown on television but it was pulled from the line up, but not for the reasons you might think.
