Can We Turn Family-Friendly Alien Films Into Horror Classics?

Slashers

For our final week of 2001: A Space Augusty, we decided to take your childhood favorites and turn them on their head. We’ve exposed the horrors of Critters, Mac and Me, Lilo and Stitch, Star Kid, The Iron Giant, and Spaced Invaders, to name a few.

We discuss why aliens are so enamored by children, why Invader Zim is the shit, why The Hunchback of Notre Dame is definitely not kid friendly, and what we really think of the Shape of Water. This episode is definitely NSFW, so we strongly suggest ear buds if you’re in public. We had a ton of fun with this one--it’s definitely a mish mash of insanity, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed being inappropriate lol.

This episode also features an interview with Dr. Chris Impey, a super genius and genuinely nice guy. He is is a professor and deputy head of the department of astronomy at the University of Arizona, has written nearly 20 books, and is a pioneer of online education. http://chrisimpey-astronomy.com/
