Chronicles of Riddick is a ridiculous fun space opera action movie that you'll love whether you are a half-dead or quasi-dead, a Necromonger or an Elemental. We talk about the movie's biblical overtones, how old a prediction has to be to be a prophecy, and the best way to kill a man with a teacup. So come smell the beautiful with us as we discuss the second Riddick movie, the Chronicles of Riddick!
Necromongers Where do I sign up? Scary space death cults. Necromonger gothic architecture and interior design. Frowny-faces. Face on your face Avoiding ambush predators via application of faces. Strong jaws. Designing against ambush predators. FACES EVWERYWHERE. Why Google’s Deep Dream A.I. Hallucinates In Dog Faces (Atmospheric) penetration Atmospheric entry bombs. Landing invasion ships, overpressure, and displays of power. Also the blue ball planet-killing explosion thing. Interstellar travel Ion drive acceleration and speed and average distances between stars. The unlikeliness of non-FTL travel between star systems during the span of human lifetimes. Private prison The economics of the private prisons in this universe and how it’s cost-effective to basically put a prison facility on Mercury. Crematoria Hot planets close to their sun. Lack of atmosphere and lack of green-house effect causing extremely quick extreme temperature changes. This planet was pretty much Mercury. The impossibility of breathable atmosphere in these circumstances. The speed of the sunset and solar terminators. Crematorian dog-things Robustness of skin. Comparison to other color-changing creatures. Luminescence vs passive color-change.

Rules of being a Necromonger: 1. You Keep What You Kill. 2. No Takesies Backsies. 3. Stupid Helmets are Required. Chris Baxter (@cbax) makes his return to the show as we watch and review Vin Diesel's 2004 passion project. We discuss helmets, lizard-pumas, Judi Dench, gross kissing, future technology and outrunning the sun. All that, plus we play a game of "Chronicle Wars: Riddick or Narnia?", give out some awards, share some fun facts and make some contributions to the IMDB parents guide. (NEXT WEEK: "Dodgeball").
Riddick is a hard man to kill, but Universal Studios and the poor reception of Chronicles of Riddick almost did the job. Through the tenacity of writer/director David Twohy and star/producer Vin Diesel the antihero was able to again overcome the odds and return to the big screen. With a story that comes off more as Pitch Black: Part 2 than a follow-up to Chronicles of Riddick, does the back-to-basics approach work? Listen to Arnie, Jakob, and Brock's review to find out!

In Pitch Black Riddick was part of a small group of humans who had to survive one long night. Now Riddick is a warrior going to battle against a Necromonger army to save all of civilization!
