    We've actually got a good movie this week as we talk about Denis Villenueve's 2015 sleeper hit: SICARIO. Starring Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, and Daniel Kaluuya, it's a thrilling, creepy, action-packed adventure on both sides of the border as a ambiguously-placed government agent and his mysterious associate take FBI Agent Kate Macer WAY over her head on a mission to cause some chaos in the Juarez drug cartels. Emily Blunt delivers and Oscar-Nominated performance, and Benicio Del Toro is amazing in this 2015 sleeper-hit!

    We've got a weird one for you this week, as we're covering Tim Burton's 1996 MARS ATTACKS! Starring Jack Nicholson (twice!), Glenn Close, Natalie Portman, Michael J Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jack Black, Annette Benning and many more, this cast has waaaay too many huge names for such a ridiculous movie. BUT HEY LET'S DO IT! Martians attack earth with superior ships, superior weapons, and hilarious speedos while hapless humans (sometimes) try to defend their planet. A truly entertaining watch and we've got a great episode on it.

A small-budget, independent film, Carpenter created a film that would inspire an entire genre of slasher and teen-slaughtering films for decades to come.
