Season 6, Ep. 5

Next up on our Marvel journey is the God of thunder! Thor (2011)
It's time to enter the Asgardian realm and try to help Freda understand, just why did Kenneth do this movie?!?! Two brothers have a scrap and we finally get to talk about wormholes!
We get into Jane as a woman in science, Myeuh-myeuh as an energy weapon and just what is an Einstein-Rosen bridge. It's time for some space magic.

02:03:48It'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!

55:06FINALLY a movie so bad its good. A movie so committed to the art of being bad that you have to applaud it. No second takes were had in this movie!4. They Cloned Tyrone
01:38:06This 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.
