  • Summary

  • Ellis and Corbin talk about "The Rocketeer," a Walt Disney Live Action Classic™ about a guy who acquires a Rocketpack and becomes... not like, a superhero but like... a guy with a jetpack and good intentions? Topics include: Fredric Jameson, the nexus of technological emergence in turn of the century California, and the deep and profound tragedy at the center of this movie: lazy casting.

    Corbin reccomends "Red Mars," a book available at your local library. Ellis reccomends "Promethus" and "Alien: Covenent."

    Next week's episode is about "Do Not Expect too Much from the End of the World," which you can watch on mubi if you're that degree of art-film-sicko.
