    The aliens may be fuzzy this week… but they’re also very scary and mean. It’s our first Joe Cornish movie, and one of the great science fiction films of the 21st century! Topics discussed this week: the high expectations for Cornish’s career, the STRANGER THINGSification of all media, whether or not Terry Notary was indeed the Silver Surfer in FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER, and we try to answer the question, why aren’t these hairy aliens wet?Next week, we conclude our Edgar Wright-connected UFO trio with THE WORLD’S END.

This week it’s the one alien we specifically promised we wouldn’t talk about…and he’s chill as hell.Topics covered in our very deep dive of PAUL: Seth Rogen’s new show that seems dangerously similar to ENTOURAGE, whether or not Paul smells like shit, and of course, Grandpa Stevey Spielberg.Next week, it’s JJ Abrams’s Amblin throwback, SUPER 8.
