Nice planet…we’ll take it! This week, Peaches and Michael are preparing for invasion in celebration of 1996’s MARS ATTACKS! In addition to discussing this wacky satire’s stacked cast, our hosts delve into whether or not the film is a prophetic vision of actual extraterrestrial arrival! Joining the conversation is acclaimed screenwriter and author John “Jack” O’Brien, whose lifetime of love of this cult classic continues to burn as bright as the red planet. Then, drag icon Abhora stops by to dig into how the movie’s otherworldly aesthetic inspires her. From bubble gum chewing alien divas to dog-headed transplants, this episode has it all! Go!
