Episode 105: Punching Space Sharks

  1. Melissa is not alone in her Star Trek Beyond trailer giddiness. Justin Lin action. Screenplay by Simon Pegg. This trailer is a glorious supernova chasing down a Klingon fleet racing through the cosmos while head banging to an 8-track of metal. If it weren’t for Hardcore Henry, this would be my favorite trailer of the year so far.

    Also, I’m fully down for Emmerich & Devlin reunited for another Independence Day.

    1. I just saw the trailer for Hardcore Henry, and it’s either going to be the awesomest thing in the history of awesome, or it’s going to be a bucket of motion sickness. I WILL INVESTIGATE THOROUGHLY. FOR SCIENCE.

      Also, it’s coming out one day before my wedding. I’m considering how to leverage that.
