M-A-R-S, maniacs. We're talking another Tobe Hooper joint this week in the Cannon Films remake Invaders From Mars from 1986! Joining us is someone who literally wrote the book on Tobe Hooper: Scout Tafoya! He's the author of Cinemaphagy: On the Psychedelic Classical Form of Tobe Hooper, as well as a filmmaker and critic for RogerEbert.com. While we learn a lot about the making of this film from Scout, we also discuss topics such as the short-lived Comedy Central sitcom That's My Bush, putting Certs in your coffee like normal humans do, and Mousehunt.

Chris & Kelsey celebrate the 4th respectfully and neither kick the tires nor light the fires. The Classic Film: Uncle Sam (1996) "Desert Storm vet who was killed in combat rises from the grave on July Fourth, to kill the unpatriotic citizens of his hometown, after some teens burn an American flag over his burial site” (IMDb.com). It's better than we ever could have expected, but that can't hide its most egregious sin: Uncle Sam is mostly a boring movie. The Modern Film: Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) "Two decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat. But will mankind's new space defenses be enough?” (IMDb.com). The original is by no means a masterpiece, but it made up for it in charisma. This sequel is just catastrophically bad and there's no amount of well-that-was-kinda-neat-I-guess that can make up for it.

That's My Bush! is an American sitcom that aired on Comedy Central from April 4 to May 23, 2001.[1] The show was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, best known for creating South Park. Despite the political overtones, the show itself was a broad lampoon of American sitcoms, including lame jokes, a laugh track, and stock characters such as klutzy bimbo secretary Princess (Kristen Miller), know-it-all maid Maggie (Marcia Wallace), and supposedly helpful "wacky" next door neighbor Larry (John D'Aquino). The series was conceived in the wake of the 2000 presidential election, between Bush and Al Gore. Parker and Stone were sure that Gore would win the election, and tentatively titled the show Everybody Loves Al. However, due to the controversy regarding the election's outcome, the series was pushed back. Instead, the show was then plotted around Bush at the workplace.[2] The show received positive reviews, with The New York Times commenting, "That's My Bush! is a satire of hero worship itself; it is the anti-West Wing and the first true post-Clinton comedy. [...] This politically astute criticism is embedded in so much hysterical humor that the series never seems weighty.
