About this episode

The episode discusses the sci-fi film Supernova, exploring its failures and effects.

“It was only a matter of time before we drew this out of a hat…” - Andrew On this week’s episode, Listener Request Month heads to deep space as we talk about the legendary sci-fi failure, Supernova ! How many Academy Award-nominees does it take to fix a big-budget nightmare? Is this the horniest studio science fiction film? Is Robert Forster’s character getting a doctorate in cartoon studies? Despite it all, these are some pretty good ship and space effects. What's that orb's deal, really ? And how many studio executives can you cram into one on-set writing trailer? PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game! Supernova stars James Spader, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, Lou Diamond Phillips, Peter Facinelli, Robin Tunney, Wilson Cruz, and Vanessa Marshall as the voice of Sweetie; directed by “Thomas Lee.” This episode is sponsored in part by Pestie!
