The 2 movies
Show notes
It was Julie's turn to pick this time and she set her sites squarely on director Charles Band ! We watched two great movies from him, starting off with 1984's Trancers , starring Tim Thomerson and Helen Hunt . Borrowing heavily from a variety of sources, this is an ambitious and largely successful story that combines time travel, mind control, humor and even a little romance. This is good, entertaining stuff. We follow that up with 1990's Crash and Burn , which wants you to believe it's a story about a giant robot, but is actually a post apocalyptic tale about corporations taking over after financial and environmental disasters ruin the world. It's another successful combination of elements that delivers in a variety of ways. We also ramble, a lot!
