Aliens have been a part of movies since we shot ourselves to the moon in 1902. They are the perfect tool for an allegory about our society. Whether our visitors from another world are benevolent or hell-bent on world domination, it's irresistible to sit back and watch. Jovial Jay and Shua test their knowledge of those cinematic extraterrestrials on Enjoy Stuff!

Grab your tinfoil hats and welcome signs as we look back at the history of aliens in movies.

What we’re Enjoying

Jay enjoyed the inspirational true story of the American Samoa soccer team called Next Goal Wins. Taika Watiti has given us a nice group of underdogs to root for with his typical brand of laughs too. Shua has been revisiting the Monsterverse Godzilla movies following his viewing of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. It’s fun to watch our cities get smooshed. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay tackles Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones. It’s a movie that many of us are familiar with, and he digs deep with insights and observations that make it a pleasure to revisit. He has also been updating locations from Marvel TV and movies, including Echo, the Agents of SHIELD, and Agent Carter series. Play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua break down each episode of the Echo series and more.  

Enjoy Movies! 

Ack ack ack! Which means “We come in peace!” At least that’s what I assume those little green men are saying. Over the years, nay decades, nay CENTURY we have enjoyed exploring the possibilities of what other lifeforms could be out ….there!

And our imagination has covered the spectrum from friendly ETs who just want to share our Reese’s Pieces to Martians that just want to use us as fertilizer (well, I hope you got your vaccinations creeps!) We look at some memorable alien stories throughout history and what has influenced (or been influenced by) them.

Next the boys play a game of GarbleBlitz: Alien Edition. Each give one word clues and the other has to guess the alien or movie they came from. Join us for some extraterrestrial fun and bring that disco organ so you can engage in some riveting musical conversations. 

Would you have gotten on that ship with Roy Neary? What could we send to Mars besides women? First person that emails me with the subject line, “We come in peace” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

This week we get into the big promotions for Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck at Lucasfilm and what it might mean for the franchise going forward. Topics include:

• Is Kathleen Kennedy offloading duties as part of a succession plan?
• Filoni - the Lucas disciple (pros and cons)
• How will this affect Dave's own storytelling duties?
• Speaking of his stories, is Ahsoka Season 2 going to happen and how will he fit all of this in prior to his Mandoverse film?

In our Question of the Week, we share your picks for bringing animated characters into live action and casting those roles. In news, we provide another Taika update, examine Rey's comments on her upcoming film, discuss the possibility of a Mara Jade casting and get excited about the release (this week) of the Disturbance in the Force documentary. We answer all of your Maul Bag questions, play your FACPA Answering Machine messages and more!

 Filmmaker Matt Vella joins us on the show today to talk about his new short film, She's Not Your Type, and then to do an in-depth review of the new Jamie Foxx and Dave Franco film, Day Shift, that was just released on Netflix.

To kick things off, Matt shares a little about his work, and what motivated him to make a short rom-com at this stage in his career. He talks about how performing standup influenced his process, and why he is sticking to projects that he believes in and are close to his heart.

We also spend a little time recounting the wild and hilarious quotables from Matt's film!

From there, the conversation turns to Day Shift

We go through the picture's many problems, from casting issues, a confused script, and undercooked ideas and execution. With such a promising cast, it seems a shame that the final product is such a letdown. We find some time at the end of the episode to see how it measures up to other bad movies we have seen this year. So to hear the full breakdown, and a lot more in between, be sure to listen in with us in this fun conversation! 

The chismosas are back, baby!!!

Jackie helps us dissect trends on TikTok that rebrand Latino staples (aka YT-ification). Kete broke up, Frank Ocean's cock ring, Taika and Rita got married... OH MY! Stay until the end for our content recs and V's product of the week.

Intro/Outro - Galactic by Seb Jaeger (via https://filmstro.com/music)

Today we dive into the halfway point for Marvel's Phase Four. You'll hear us gab about how we think they are doing in this phase, Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, people's mediocre response, and of course the SHADOW REALM.

Today we talk about a movie that reaches beyond the infinite, but instead keeps it's feet squarely planted a little below mediocrity. It's everyone's favorite space ranger (kind of), and the most convoluted plot in years. Sit back, relax, and save your money as we talk about this disaster.
