Abe Epperson wants to talk about the 2009’s horror comedy where Megan Fox is a demon and preys upon high school boys. Written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama, this film smartly comments on the persistent male gaze that followed young actresses like Fox. Let’s get in there and eat these kids.

Friendly Bean and all-time winner of podcasts, Vanessa Guerrero drops by to chat with the boys about the classic action adventure sci-fi The Fifth Element.

Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing.

This week we discuss 1981’s Time Bandits.

Abe’s pretty satisfied with not having kids, but it’s always been on Michael’s list of life goals. Let’s see how these friends navigate the conversation from two different perspectives.
