About this episode

The episode revisits the 80s sci-fi comedy 'Innerspace', discussing its chaotic nature and enduring appeal.

"Scene Weekly" Dennis Quaid gets miniaturized and accidentally injected into Martin Short—yeah, it’s that kind of movie. This week we revisit Innerspace , a wildly chaotic 80s sci-fi comedy that somehow still holds up. We break down what works, what doesn’t, and why this weird little movie still rules.
