Spaceballs holds a special place in comedy and sci-fi cinema. The iconic lines and legendary performances are still so quotable. But does the movie as a whole hold up? Jim and A.Ron are here to find out. One thing is for sure, it’s got the same level of sanity as the current Star Wars sequels.
Starship Troopers is the pulpy, sci-fi, satire that tried so hard to be a commentary that it seemed to miss its own point. From Paul Verhoeven, the director behind RoboCop (1987) and Total Recall (1990), comes a movie about bugs and fascism. Between the CGI and blatant metaphors, Jim and A.Ron explore the guts and glory of this weird adaptation.
AppleTV+’s For All Mankind Season 4 has reentered the atmosphere. As this season splashes down, Jim and A.Ron are here to discuss their thoughts and listener feedback. Hear about how actress Krys Marshall wanted this season to end for her character Dani. And finally, Jim and A.Ron have some hopes and predictions for the Season 5 we hope we get!
Jim is back! He and A.Ron are covering the season finale of AppleTV+’s For All Mankind. The principal characters are catching up to the audience, not always the most exciting thing. It’s a strong show, and even though this season may not have had the thrill of previous seasons, there’s still plenty to enjoy. Bye, Bob!
Since Jim is still crusty, B. Michael Krol steps up to co-host AppleTV’s For All Mankind with A.Ron. With the end of the season rapidly approaching, the threads are starting to tangle. Margot has a rendezvous with Sergei, the North Koreans wired the base for sound, and Ed might come clean to his daughter. Will the Goldilocks asteroid shake things up? Just like the real life earthquake that struck while we were recording?
Jim thinks it’s a return to form. A.Ron isn’t so sure this is going to bode well for the future of the show. Margot is making bold new steps. Are we starting down a Dark Margot plot line? With the revolt and Dev’s impending arrival, Mars is shaping up to be a rogue state. And Ed, please, that is ENOUGH cheese.
Is the fourth season of a show fated to always be the gas leak season? Ed is unemployed and is looking for a new angle. Maybe he has a bad case of Mars brain. Margot’s “resurrection” shocks Aleida. Can Aleida forgive her? And Jim and A.Ron are looking forward to Dev arriving on Mars!
If you’ve played Stardew Valley, you know the immense value of Iridium. There’s an Iridium asteroid and its capture would ruin global trading for Russia. Old Man Ed is destroying his relationship with Dani. Dev says good-bye forever. How would you hide someone on the Mars base?
Political tensions are high and attempted murder makes things worse! Dani finally unleashes on Ed. The Soviets soft launch a coupe. And Martian rock engagement rings are the next craze. Join Jim and A.Ron as they review the newest episode of For All Mankind.
A Tom Clancy spy novel breaks out in the middle of this episode of For All Mankind. There are hundreds of people on Mars at this point, and they have needs. Ed isn’t looking well, Dani’s leadership is strong, and Margot is interrogated by Russian officials. A.Ron the Shipper sees a potential love connection. Don your space suit and join Jim and A.Ron on Hi, Bob!
