    Illumin80s Season 2.5 - Episode 6: Aliens vs. Predator

    In space, no one can hear you scream - but EVERYONE can hear a badass hand slap! Could Predator have been a more perfect movie if they’d just hired a sniper played by Lance Henriksen? If one of the Aliens impregnated Burke, would it’s offspring inherit flop-sweat and an appreciation for the substantial dollar value of it’s nest? It’s the episode so long in the making we decided to make it a double, as we pit “Aliens” vs. “Predator” - and EVERYONE vs. “Alien vs. Predator!”

Is naked Sadler shooting blanks? Has “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” left our hosts both physically and emotionally scarred? Just how many birds would constitute an entire John Amos?

    Just in time for Valentine’s Day - it’s our surprise Christmas episode! Join us as the guy from Moonlighting takes on the Evil Ocean’s 11 and discovers the true meaning of foot pain. How does one reconcile the dubious moral choices of Albus Dumbledore? Is everyone aware of how great Timothy Olyphant and Sam Rockwell are (we’re just checking)?

    Illumin80s Episode 6: Buckaroo Bonzai

    Do the makers of this film have some pretty compelling grounds for suing the makers of Back to the Future? What are the moral and ethical implications of hooking up with the secret twin of your deceased wife? Should 10-year-olds really be allowed to run tactical assaults on alien strongholds? Laugh while you can, Monkey Boys, as Brent and Kelly dive into the action/comedy/scifi/soap opera that dares to ask whether some films seek out cult status or merely have it thrust upon them - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension!
