"Cockroaches."

In the third installment of our Inhuman Women Suite, Kevin and George take a look at the Jonathan Glazer flick UNDER THE SKIN. Scarlett Johannsen has come to Earth and she's seeking men to turn into intergalactic bloody soup.
Perhaps you'd like to volunteer? Eh? You wanna be soup for Scarlett? No? Ok. Good job.
Join us as we discuss a brilliant, moody and (some times) sad sci-fi flick.

"That's why I had to move out of Highland Park."
--George
Often a monster movie comes with a level of suspension of disbelief. At times, that level can be asking too much from an audience. The movie SPRING, from film making duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead, is not one of those movies. The horror included doesn't ask you to check your brain at the door, nor is it too subtle or vague. It is both quiet and visceral and accomplishes these tasks while telling a very human story.
Join Kevin and George as they take a romantic break and watch what is, essentially, a romantic comedy....with monsters.
Join us!

"Subby Lawrence."
--Kevin
What is one of the worst things a movie can do? Is it when it's just bad? Is it when it's good but could be better? Perhaps both. However, as I write this, I find myself thinking that Robert Rodriguez's ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL managed to top both of those options. It's a movie that has so many good qualities that should make it great, but just barely falls short of legendary status.
Agree? Disagree? Sound off and tune in as Kevin and George take a dip into the world that is the James Cameron produced IRON CITY in ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL.

Every once in a while you come across a movie that was birthed of a fantastic idea. No one really nurtured it by giving it a huge budget or a ton of publicity, but it didn't really matter. Perhaps the lack thereof is actually what propelled the filmmakers to stay true to their vision.
THE ENDLESS is such a movie. Come and check out what is sure to be a TERRIBLE podcast, based on the fact that both Kevin and George loved this movie.
Despite that though, I believe we manage to get to the heart of the matter here. A thorough dissection of a great science fiction movie and a snappy back and forth between friends in which we ALL learn something about the other.
And we're even wearing pants for this one, folks. So, everyone's a winner.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse manages to have something that very few big screen adaptations of the wall-crawler have had: heart.
I think that this is the only thing that the cross-dimensional versions of George and Kevin can agree upon. Come with us now on a journey through the Multi-Verse as we encounter the single versions of George and Kevin, the NPR-ized incarnations and the one, true version: The Busy Dads.
We're all in for a wild ride.

CHILDREN OF MEN was a 2006 dystopian science fiction masterpiece that showed up what a slowly decaying world would look 20 years into a global plague in which no human can reproduce.
This movie both haunting and important and Kevin and George are sitting down and going toe to toe on how much it meant to both of them.
So, as usual, if you haven't seen it GO SEE IT and then come and give us a listen. Enjoy!

"I think the 15 pizzas are here."

John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK is long considered a classic of 80s Sci-Fi and a gem of the cult movie genre. Kevin and George take a look at it and ask, without judgement, "why?"
Come and give us a listen as we take apart a classic from a brilliant director and still manage to find a lot to love, even if time has not maintained the shine we once saw.

"Mark Twain."
--Kevin
1996 might not be known as the best year in Science Fiction, or maybe it is. I don't know. I didn't exactly do any research on it. However it was the year that the Philip K. Dick short story SECOND VARIETY was adapted into the movie SCREAMERS, starring Peter Weller and Jennifer Rubin.
Kevin and George (the Busy Dads) bounce judiciously between the two in recounting their experience with another classic tale of Artificial Intelligence come to life.

"NOPE!"
--George
What does one talk about when everything that can possibly be talked about has been talked about? This is the dilemma that confronts the BUSY DADS as they take a long, hard (hah) look at STAR TREK 2: THE WRATH OF KHAN.
A paramount achievement of not only Star Trek, but of Sci-Fi in general. Kevin, an uninitiated wanderer in the world of Trek, and George, a Klingon speaking Trekkie/er that still pretends he is commanding a starship when he's in the shower, take your hand on this miraculous journey.
You SHOULD be scared!

"INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER"
Isn't that what we're all after? A meaningful answer. So, in lieu of our Wrath of Khan episode, we are instead going to be doing another dramatic reading of a great Science Fiction Short Story.
Join BUSY DAD George as he reads THE LAST QUESTION by the master Isaac Asimov. Asimov actually considered this short to be some of his finest work and, I must say, that I agree. It weaves a classic sci-fi tale of man wrestling with his own limits and surpassing them. Only to find that there are some answers man is not meant to have.
Sit back, relax, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the reading of THE LAST ANSWER. Thank you!

As though we are going to find a diamond in the rough if we just keep sifting, Kevin and George return once again to the "treasure trove" of the Netflix Sci-Fi and Fantasy section.
Only, behold, this time we find more than the usual absolute crap. Join us as we take a look at Extinction, which has recently been billed as "Netflix's first good sci-fi movie". Spoiler: it's not..

"Heinrich was my favorite character."

The BUSY DADS take the plunge on the 1981 horror/thriller/sci-fi cult classic POSSESSION. What seems to be the simple story of a spy being broken up with by his crazy wife ends up becoming so much more.

We are back and "better than ever! So better in fact that we've decided to jump back into the dumpster fire that is Netflix's Science Fiction section to review ORBITER 9.
Also, join us in the celebration that is the Busy Dads Do Sci-Fi Language extravaganza. We celebrate the many languages of the world by boldly watching a movie that is entirely in another one. WOW. We are so cultured. Next thing you know we'll actually be reading books.

As if George's life wasn't busy enough, his favorite Russian film making antagonist is back from beyond the grave. Kevin and George sit down, crack a bottle of non-flavored seltzer (thanks, Vic) and talk about Andrei Tarkovsky's iconic masterpiece STALKER.
Meditative. Beautiful. Mesmerizing. But, science fiction? Well, it doesn't really matter. Take the trip with us as we unwind what this moving piece of art did for our minds and for our souls.

"I love chaos!"
--Kevin
Kevin and George talk about the movie that the entire planet has seen twice. The culmination of 18 movies and 10 years of movie making and it, SOME HOW, did not manage to let George (a dedicated Marvel fanboy) down in the slightest.
Come and listen to find out how this movie was JUST LIKE Kevin's 8 year old son's birthday party All this AND MORE as the Busy Dads take on AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR!

In this episode we take another look at Neil Blomkamp's Oats Studios and their new three part short series, Adam.
What did it do for us? What could it do for you? How does one tell a vast story in such a tiny amount of time? Why are some better than others?
We answer absolutely none of those questions and, instead, just make fun of each other for most of the episode. However, it's still a good time. Check us out.

"That doesn't sound right. That sounds negative."
"It sounds fecal."
How can one movie make George go from crying during the viewing to throwing a keyboard at Kevin while discussing it the next day? How can the same movie have Kevin pontificating about the mortality of the Cyclops in the Odyssey and also begrudging Jared Leto for not looking homeless enough? How can one movie elicit such different responses from two ENTIRELY RATIONAL (I know) people!?! How?!?
This is the paradox of the movie MR. NOBODY. Come and listen as the Busy Dads try and make sense out of the "unable to make sense-able".
