3:07:45

Surprise! We didn’t originally have a James Cameron alien movie on the list for this miniseries…but then we fell into an abyssal trench. And we found some non terrestrial intelligence down here!

9d ago1:47:16

1:47:16

What if aliens were already here? And all it took to see them was a pair of very rad 80s sunglasses? The Prince of Darkness returns one last time to answer these questions and more. And he’s bringing mullets, chewing gum, and Rowdy Roddy Piper with him. Next week, it’s a slight change of course! We’re going deep into an abyssal trench for a surpris…

2:02:04

It's pod people, pop psychologists, mud baths, and one very grumpy health inspector this week.

Next week we're going for what may be the biggest alien movie …
