About this episode

The episode discusses the notorious film Battlefield Earth, exploring its flaws and the context of Scientology.

We saved the best (or worst) for last. Battlefield Earth has a reputation for being one of the most god-awful movies ever made, and we have to admit, it's definitely a possibility. We talk about the things that others have probably talked about before, including the ridiculous Psychlo designs, the terrible plot, multitude of Dutch angles, and we also dive into Scientology a little bit (and how stupid it is, yes we mean that as an insult). We're also drinking Other Half Brewing x Junior's collaboration, the Strawberry Dream double dry-hopped IPA with oat cream and strawberries.
