Your Ideal Sci-Fi Sequel with Benny Davis

About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Benny Davis about ideal sci-fi sequels, including a defense of Avatar and humorous commentary on various topics.

We're in Sydney and JD went missing for a few hours but that doesn't matter right now because we're joined by Benny Davis to ask what our ideal sci-fi sequel would be, which was really just a ham fisted way for us to defend Avatar against the hurtful things Benny had to say about it and for Benny to be eternally disappointed in us. Learn about Quintin the cockatoo that really just needed to go home, our pitch for Star Wars 2: A Newer Hope and listen for the exact moment Benny realises that we are not serious people. Also Mr Gattaca was going to Titan, a moon of Saturn, not Venus. One thousand apologies. Another apology because we know his name is Vincent Freeman, not Mr Gattaca. We're just being silly boys xx o.
