Mars Attacks!   Of course a film like this was Daniel's choice. A dumb film...a fun enjoyable silly dumb film. Come listen to Andrew's amazing ACK ACK ACK alien impression! 29mins

Movie of the Year: 1996Independence Day Movie of the Year is the podcast that dares to ask: What is the best movie of any given year? In this episode, we turn our telescopes to the stars and our speakers to eleven as we revisit the 1996 cinematic spectacle, Independence Day. Packed with aliens, explosions, and patriotic fervor, this sci-fi blockbuster defined summer movies for a generation. But does it hold up today?Join the panel as we explore the legacy of Independence Day, its place in the science fiction genre, its portrayal of American values, and how it frames masculinity in the 1990s.Independence Day as 90s Science FictionIs Independence Day just a popcorn flick, or does it deserve a spot among sci-fi classics? The hosts unpack the movie's use of classic alien invasion tropes, its reliance on 90s tech optimism, and the impact of its genre-blending tone.From Area 51 to cable viruses, Independence Day reflects a distinctly 90s approach to science fiction—where spectacle meets paranoia, and where heroes can be hackers, pilots, or presidents.America and Independence Day: Patriotism on the Big ScreenFew films wear their nationalism on their sleeve quite like Independence Day. In this section, the Taste Buds explore how the movie functions as a patriotic narrative, complete with presidential speeches, flags in the rubble, and international unity under American leadership.They also compare Independence Day to other patriotic blockbusters of the era, questioning whether its celebration of American ideals is sincere, ironic, or somewhere in between.If you're interested in similar themes, check out our Mars Attacks! episode for a different take on 1996's alien obsession.Masculinity in Independence Day: Fathers, Fighters, and FlyboysWhat does it mean to be a man in Independence Day? The film features a wide array of male archetypes—from the stoic President Whitmore to the wisecracking Captain Hiller and the redemption-seeking Russell Casse.We break down the film's representation of masculinity in the context of 1990s culture, focusing on themes like emotional repression, heroism, sacrifice, and fatherhood.These depictions reflect both the expectations and anxieties of American men in the late 20th century, and the movie's lasting popularity suggests they still resonate today.Final Verdict: Is This the Movie of the Year?There's no denying Independence Day was the biggest movie of 1996. But is it the best? The hosts evaluate the film's legacy, critical reception, and cultural footprint. How does it compare to fellow 1996 heavyweights like Fargo, Trainspotting, or Scream?By the end of the episode, we'll know if Independence Day still deserves a place at the top—or if it's simply a nostalgic relic of the blockbuster boom.WANT TO HEAR MORE?For more 1996 alien attacks, listen to our Mars Attacks episode!For more Will Smith kicking butt, check out our episode on Bad Boys 4 Life!For more goofy Jeff Goldblum trying to save the world, download our Nashville episode!

In this episode I sit down with actor, magician, and podcast host Steve Valentine. We go way back to my Vegas days, and it's been incredible to see his career evolve. Best known for his role as Nigel Townsend on Crossing Jordan, Steve has also appeared in Mars Attacks!, Spider-Man 3, and voiced characters in Dragon Age and Uncharted 2. Beyond acting, he's an acclaimed magician who has performed at the legendary Magic Castle and now explores the art of illusion on his podcast, Magicians Only. We dive into what people misunderstand about magic, the surprising parallels between acting and performing illusions, and how he's reinvented himself in Hollywood. If you've ever been curious about the magic behind the curtain—both literal and metaphorical—this is an episode you won't want to miss!Want to advertise on our show?

*Spoiler Warning voor Straatcoaches vs. Aliens en alle sci-fi films die je moeder ooit gezien heeft. (Waar ze zitten vind je in de timestamps hieronder.)In deze nieuwe aflevering van Nerd Culture duiken we diep in de wereld van sci-fi films with our very special guest-star: Michael Middelkoop! We bespreken aan de hand van zijn allereerste bioscoopfilm: Straatcoaches vs. Aliens, zijn all-time sci-fi classics die hem inspireerden om Neerlandsch eerste alien invasiefilm te maken. Verder kan Huey maar niet ophouden met orakelen over The Rookie, werpen we een blik op de nieuwste Mission Impossible trailer, en bespreken we natuurlijk ook Jelle's usual fairy dust (waar The Rookie dus al jaren tot behoord). Dit belooft een hele speciale te worden.Straatcoaches vs. AliensMichael Middelkoop mogen we inmiddels voorzichtig wel de Spielberg van de lage landen gaan noemen. Hij maakte afgelopen jaar maar liefst drie films; daar waar Spielberg al moeite had met twee; toegegeven, dat waren wel Jurassic Park en Schindler's List, maar toch.Ook Michael liet zich, net als de grootmeester zelf, inspireren door alles wat hij vet vond in zijn jeugd. Science Fiction films als Independence Day, Men in Black, Mars Attacks en Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Dit resulteert met Straatcoaches vs. Aliens in een film die niet alleen makkelijk op de schouders staat van Dick Maas' Flodder of New Kids Turbo, maar ook een ode is aan alles waar wij sci-fi nerds van houden. En daarom waren de Nerd Culture-presentatoren van deze week vereerd om met de Gouden Kalf winnende regisseur aan tafel, de diepte in te gaan.Een kijkje achter de schermenNu Huey twee professionele filmmakers aan tafel heeft, pakt hij zijn kans ze de oren van hun kop te vragen. Dit geeft ons niet alleen een kijkje in de keuken van de Nederlandse filmindustrie, maar ook antwoorden op de vraag hoe het is om ..SPOILER..Straatcoaches vs. Aliens draait vanaf nu in de bioscoop, dus drink je koffie op, draai een jointje en scheur naar de bioscoop voor deze eerste - en gelijk grootse en funny - Nederlandse stap in het science fiction genre.Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:03:46 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:04:10 The Rookie00:05:59 The Order00:06:26 Nosferatu00:08:26 (Terug naar) The Order00:10:11 The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep00:16:02 You're Cordially Invited 00:18:41 Straatcoaches vs. Aliens00:32:03 De inspiratie achter de film (spoiler na 00:33:21)00:47:15 Invasion of the Body Snatchers00:54:02 Alien00:57:38 The Thing01:05:45 Independence Day01:15:02 Village of the Damned01:17:26 Men in Black01:21:10 They Live01:26:38 Mars Attacks (spoiler na 01:30:40)01:31:01 Close Encouters01:34:09 Fire in the Sky01:36:21 Ghostbuster 1&201:40:48 Street Trash01:45:00 Superbowl: Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning Trailer

Happy Halloween from The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about Tim Burton! The man! The brand! The artist! The director! The lothario (complimentary)! The B-Sides today include Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, and Frankenweenie. Our esteemed guest is Maria Lewis, “best-selling author, screenwriter, film curator and pop culture etymologist currently based in Australia.”  As Beetlejuice Beetlejuice still rakes in money in theaters, we discuss Burton's influence, whether or not he's actually a good director (something Burton himself has questioned in the past), his best films and his worst films, his inspirations, and the love-and-hate relationship with Disney from the very beginning of his career. There is also the observation that most of Tim Burton's films are some version of Alice in Wonderland. Including, ahem, Alice in Wonderland. Also discussed is Maria's very cool podcast “The Phantom Never Dies,” about the superhero serial character The Phantom. Another important mention is Milicent Patrick, the woman who designed the creature from the Creature from the Black Lagoon film. And finally, we take the time to appreciate the incredibly underrated Australian film director Simon Wincer.  Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter and Facebook at @TFSBSide.

Movie of the Year: 1996Mars Attacks! (feat. Paul from Waiting For Doom!)In this episode of the Movie of the Year podcast, the hosts dissect Mars Attacks!, Tim Burton's star-studded, darkly comedic, and satirical take on alien invasion movies. Released in 1996, Mars Attacks! blends sci-fi with Burton's unique quirky style, creating a cult classic filled with humor, horror, and biting social commentary. This deep dive covers everything from Burton's vision to the film's eccentric ensemble cast and the cynical undertones driving the plot.Tim Burton's Unique Vision for Mars Attacks!One of the key points discussed in this Movie of the Year episode is Tim Burton's distinct creative style and how it shapes Mars Attacks!. Known for his darkly whimsical films, such as Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, Burton was at the peak of his career in the 90s. Mars Attacks! fits squarely into his love for campy, exaggerated B-movies, while offering a modern take on the classic alien invasion genre.The hosts examine how Burton's practical effects and early CGI create an otherworldly yet campy aesthetic. The exaggerated character designs of the Martians, along with their chaotic behavior, reflect Burton's signature blend of the grotesque and the humorous. His direction adds layers to what could have been a simple homage to 1950s sci-fi, transforming it into something both original and absurdly chaotic.The Star-Studded Ensemble Cast of Mars Attacks!The podcast explores the impressive ensemble cast of Mars Attacks!, which includes big names like Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, and a young Natalie Portman. Each actor embraces the film's bizarre and comedic tone, with Nicholson standing out in dual roles as the U.S. President and a sleazy Las Vegas developer.The Movie of the Year hosts analyzes how Burton uses this all-star cast to subvert genre conventions, frequently dispatching major characters in surprisingly brutal ways. This decision to “kill off” so many stars adds to the film's unpredictable, chaotic nature. The ensemble cast also highlights the sheer scale of the film, with each actor bringing their unique energy to the outrageous situations they find themselves in—whether it's running from Martian lasers or trying to reason with the alien invaders.Exploring the Cynicism in Mars Attacks!Beyond its absurd humor and visual chaos, Mars Attacks! is filled with a biting cynicism about American politics and culture. The podcast delves into how Burton uses the film's comedic violence and caricatured characters to comment on human arrogance, particularly the overconfidence of government officials, military leaders, and scientists. Despite their resources and plans, humanity is powerless against the relentless, nonsensical violence of the Martians.This layer of cynicism gives Mars Attacks! its satirical edge, mocking the ineptitude of leadership and blind nationalism. The Movie of the Year hosts discuss how Burton's portrayal of politicians and military figures, who are often more concerned with appearances than solutions, resonates with modern audiences. The film becomes not only an homage to sci-fi but also a darkly humorous critique of societal institutions, offering relevant commentary on government incompetence and human folly.Guest Star Spotlight: Paul from Waiting for DoomA special treat for this episode is the appearance of Paul, co-host of the Waiting for Doom podcast, which is dedicated to all things Doom Patrol and comic book culture. Paul brings a wealth of knowledge about pop culture and superhero media, making his contributions to the discussion of Mars Attacks!...

Send us a textKatie and Bridget fight off aliens in Vegas as they re-watch the movie: Mars Attacks! It's a weird story all about how... Well... Mars attacks! Come along as we meet a ridiculously loaded cast of characters (that we just can't name all here because it would the length of a novel) who experience an alien invasion for the books. While first thought to be peaceful because of some dipshit's weird translating device (seriously who invented that!?), the aliens quickly make it known that they are really just here to kill everyone and cause chaos. But don't worry, it's not tanks that stop them... Or the military... Or even nukes... It's actually just a senile grandma and her yodeling album! We said it before and we'll say it again: THIS MOVIE IS WEIRD! Released in 1996, it was directed by Tim Burton and was based off of the trading card series of the same name from the 60's.

On the evening of October 30th, 1938, the CBS Radio Network broadcasted Orson Welles's live adaptation of the 1897 HG Wells classic, groundbreaking sci-fi novel, The War of the Worlds, all across America. And those who paid close attention knew it was fiction. But thousands and thousands of others who didn't... literally thought the US was currently being invaded and attacked by hostile, killer aliens from Mars and fellow citizens were dying in droves. They panicked and true pandemonium ensued! For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Someone owns a very rare piece of video game history and you can build a Mars Attacks amusement park! We'll talk about it all with the #MikeJonesMinuteCon.

Well folks its finally happening, a Mafia game set in Sicily at the turn of the 20th Century! I am very excited! But that wasn't the only news out of Gamescom this week, another Bethesda title is going multiplatform, old franchises are returning, and new adaptations are unexpectedly coming! Also, don't go after actors for roles they play, they aren't really those characters! Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine continues to break records, Indiana Jones's hat sells for over $600k, and The Acolyte is sent packing. Nic Cage, now here's a guy, will be playing John Madden, and forget the chicken sandwich war, Chick-fil-a is jumping into the streaming wars.

On this week's episode of the podcast, we watched Tim Burton's 1996 sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks!, starring Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michael J. Fox, Martin Short Pam Grier, Rod Steiger, Jim Brown, Lukas Haas, Danny DeVito and Natalie Portman.Mars Attacks! was based off of the 1960s-era trading card series by Topps. In the series, Earth is invaded by cruel, hideous Martians who hope to colonize the planet and enslave its population. In the movie, Earth is invaded by cruel hideous Martians. But they don't seem to want to colonize the planet as much as engage in wanton destruction for its own sake. To the extent that the film has a plot, it follows several groups of people. There is President James Dale, played by Nicholson, his wife and daughter. There is a young donut shop employee and his family in Nevada. There is an aging boxer turned casino employee, his ex-wife and their children. And there are a pair of talk show hosts.The film shows first contact followed by the Martian war on Earth. Most of the characters are either weak and incompetent, like President Dale and the American military, vain and oblivious, like the various members of the media, or outright rubes, like some of the more ordinary people in the film. The Martians rampage across the country, killing everyone they see including the president and the first lady. They are eventually stopped when two characters, the young donut shop employee and his grandmother, discover that the yodeling on Slim Whitman's “Indian Love Call” is enough to cause their heads to explode. They defeat the Martian invasion and are awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for their exploits.The taglines for Mars Attacks were “Nice planet. We'll take it!” and “Yikes! They've landed!”Mars Attacks is available for rent or purchase either Amazon or Apple TV.Episodes come out every two weeks so we'll see you then with an episode on Shadow Conspiracy, a 1997 conspiracy thriller directed by George P. Cosmatos and starring Charlie Sheen, Linda Hamilton, Stephen Lang and the great (and much-missed) Donald Sutherland.You can find Shadow Conspiracy on Amazon Prime and Apple TV for rent or purchase.And don't forget our Patreon, where we watch the films of the Cold War and try to unpack them as political and historical documents!

In Independence Day, humanity makes its first contact with an alien race. What follows is one day of destruction, one of despair, and one day where the human race, led by the United States, fights back. Jamelle and John use the film to discuss the triumphalist American optimism of the 1990s as well as the political afterlife of the imagery of the film, which extends into the post-9/11 era.Some of the taglines for Independence Day were “We've always believed we weren't alone. On July 4th, we'll wish we were,” “The day we fight back!” and “Welcome to earth.”Independence Day is available to buy or rent on Amazon Prime or Apple TV. You can also stream it on demand at Hulu.Episodes come out roughly every two weeks, and we'll see you then with an episode on Mars Attacks, Tim Burton's satirical counterpoint to Roland Emmerich's earnest blockbuster.And don't forget our Patreon, where we watch the films of the Cold War and try to unpack them as political and historical documents!
