Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?

About this episode

The episode discusses a mysterious encounter at a diner involving a flying saucer and explores themes from The War of the Worlds.

A bus driver and his six passengers have stopped at a diner while the weather clears up. Unfortunately for them, a flying saucer has crashed nearby and now there’s one more bus rider than they remember… or is there? Nicole and Peter will closely encounter this episode and discuss The War of the Worlds, delightful prospectors, and a new level of product placement. We hope you’ll join us.
