Your hosts tackle an imaginative, forward-thinking movie from 1977 that isn’t Star Wars. Is David Lynch’s Eraserhead about the anxiety of becoming a new parent? We have no idea! We’re not even sure it’s a baby! More unseen movies are revealed, plus David and Justin go off on a Godzilla tangent. (And yes, a previous Prometheus episode is referenced, but we’ve shelved it for now–for the greater good!)

Longtime friends David and Justin flirt with landing in cinema jail as they reveal notable movies they’ve never seen! Possible missed-movie sins may include Platoon, American Graffiti, Heat…and more. They also discuss and rank the Alien movies, which they have seen! Is the long-running franchise an exercise in diminishing returns (and do the AVP movies even count)? Plus, the subject of the next episode–a seminal David Lynch movie Justin hasn’t seen–is revealed! (And yes, your hosts are aware of who actually directed Return of the Jedi…in theory!)
