Mars Attacks!

was...

It kind of fitted into the fact that we were talking about Mars Attacks.

And during Mars Attacks, I'd mentioned that Rob Steiger, as General Decker, steals every moment on screen, even when he doesn't actually have any lines.

And the question last week was, what other supporting roles in films do you find almost steal the show? And...

Who have we got? Starting over on Facebook, Cole the Duke said, Clancy Brown in literally anything he's done, including voice work.

I don't think I've ever seen him again.

That one line, that one line should have been a career move.

Internet sensation Robert Sims said, Judge C. Scott in Doctor Strangelove, which must have influenced Stiger's character's choice in Mars Attacks.

You remember the show V? The vibes of that, of the ship showing up in the city.

And then I love that there's the Mars Attacks reference.

Oh yeah, the last time the president wants to talk to the aliens.

Have you ever seen Mars Attacks? That worked out well.

That's a good movie.

But I liked the kind of world that you built in there.

War of the

Worlds, Mars Attacks.

Mazatax.

Mazatax came very close after this, I think.

But if there's an Area 51, there must be an Area 1 through 50.

Yeah.

The White House interiors were originally built for the American president, which was in 1995, and they were also subsequently used for Mars attacks in 1996 and Nixon in 1995.

The same set.

Angie's ready for some skee-ball.

Oh, it's Mars attacks.

Jesus, I got spooked.

Favorite movie? Did you know, Angie, little known fact, my first ever date was the movie Mars Attacks.

Ooh, romantic.

Not

It's not new.

I mean, we've all seen Men in Black, Independence Day, Mars Attacks, Avatar, Transformers movies, the Avengers movies.

We've seen all these things that talk about extraterrestrial life.

okay but a full-blown little green men alien movie hasn't been something that we've seen but notice how as these movies roll out and you know they're coming up more with the times it's like you're still getting some weird aliens like you know Thanos was a weird alien the Squidward dude that Tony Stark was going back and forth with with Doctor Strange was like a weird looking alien but when you think about the idea of like Thor and Loki these are two regular looking guys And then you think like Thanos was very humanoid looking, even though he was a big purple juggernaut.

I remember that now.

The Mars Attacks was one of them.

That's a 3D printer.

That's the replicator.

You're going to see something like that come out.

Way better than like the movie Signs or Mars Attacks or any kind of shit like that.

Like way more real world, way better graphics, way more interaction, way more conversations with the aliens.

It's going to make Men in Black look like shit, all right? Once that happens, I believe we're going to get a false report out of somewhere saying that an alien spacecraft has landed.

I didn't even know that as a kid because the rest of the family was a little annoyed by my dad because he really loves Slim Whitman.

And I remember – When Mars Attacks came out, my family was like, Dad, they're playing your favorite music to get – that's the only thing that, like, melts the aliens.

Like, it's torture music because he would play it on road trips and stuff.

But I was always his little buddy and, like, loving everything he played.
