Enemy of the State

Season 3, Ep. 1
•

Will Smith teams up with another grumpy old man in Enemy of the State! We just can't stay away.


We're back from a break and, in this episode, Abi and Freda show off their knowledge. We answer every one of your burning questions: Is a dedicated satellite enough to surveil an on-the-run Will Smith? Can you use a pretzel packet to escape the government? Most importantly: Can you rotate us 75 degrees around the vertical, please????


Btw, Lisa Bonet was in the movie....

    It's the end of a series, the end of our so bad it's good era! Praise the lord! We're closing out this year with a long one but it was such a hoot talking about this movie. The wild ride that is Pacific Rim. It's full of tropes but Idris Elba and topless Charlie Hunman made it all worthwhile. Just don't say the aussie accents were good...apparently Freda disagrees. oops We're on an extended break now until the new year! We'll drop a few uncut episodes and try to crank out a christmas special. Rest and be merry this holiday season!Thanks for listening to us for another year.

  • 4. They Cloned Tyrone

    01:38:06||Season 11, Ep. 4
    This absoulte jem came out on Netflix recently and it has everything we love about a sci-fi comedy nancy drew in the mystery machine with gangsters, pimps and ho's. Instant classic! We're back on clone science and memory downloads with a touch of what is conciousness. But most of all, it's a tumble down an MK Ultra rabbit hole, the bleak and crazy world of secret government experiments and that time they thought mind reading could be a thing.
