V: The Original Miniseries (1983)

Special thanks to Bobby Z for commissioning this 1983 classic piece of original televised cinematic history; V: The Miniseries. A.Ron had fond memories of this series from his childhood, while Jim experienced it for the first time. We discuss 80’s fashion, television tropes, heavy handed allegory, the plausibility of this as a first contact scenario, and the abject horror of prominent matte lines. Oh, and some pets get eaten and people get their faces torn off. That’s pretty scary too, I guess.

203 – Maybe Tomorrow

A.Ron said that he rented a bungalow somewhere so he’s out of town this week which means we have an abridged version of the psychosphere. Also, the episode didn’t give us much to go on. But it does still have a lot of great stuff to talk about and we cover a good chunk of it.
