290 - Invaders From Mars (1986)

M-A-R-S, maniacs. We're talking another Tobe Hooper joint this week in the Cannon Films remake Invaders From Mars from 1986! Joining us is someone who literally wrote the book on Tobe Hooper: Scout Tafoya! He's the author of Cinemaphagy: On the Psychedelic Classical Form of Tobe Hooper, as well as a filmmaker and critic for RogerEbert.com. While we learn a lot about the making of this film from Scout, we also discuss topics such as the short-lived Comedy Central sitcom That's My Bush, putting Certs in your coffee like normal humans do, and Mousehunt. Be sure to also check out our Patreon! We recently hosted our first Discord livestream exclusive for patrons, and March's bonus episode features us and guest Matt Schultz playing the Can't Hardly Wait Game.
