In 1994, Tim Burton made Ed Wood, the critically-acclaimed biopic about the director of Plan 9 from Outer Space. Two years later, Burton mounted his own homage to classic sci fi B movies with Mars Attacks! (1996). Despite a sprawling cast of actors, featuring everyone from Jack Nicholson to Jack Black to Michael J. Fox to Annette Benning, the film failed to meet the critical success of Burton’s earlier movies. Find out what Nick & Taylor think of this lesser-loved entry from one of their favorite directors.

Kick off Chapter Six with Taylor & Nick as they obsess over the many campy and goofy joys of Congo (1995). Based on a novel by Michael Critchon, Congo tells the tale of an expedition into the heart of Africa in search of the Lost City of Zinj. The adventure includes a terrific cast of actors, including Laura Linney and Ernie Hudson. Oh, and there’s a monkey speaking sign language and a laser gun that shoots a satellite. And Tim Curry doing a Romanian accent. You don’t want to miss this one!

Pour yourself a mug of eggnog and break out the sugar cookies. Taylor, Nick, and Anthony are gifting you three obscure Christmas movies:

When a toy is misplaced, the son of Santa Claus races against the clock to deliver it to a young girl before she wakes on Christmas morning in Arthur Christmas (2011). Then in Klaus (2017), the spoiled son of a postmaster general befriends a mysterious toymaker on an island of feuding clans. Lastly, A Biltmore Christmas (2023). We have no pithy summary for this one because Taylor, who writes these descriptions, remains astounded that Anthony actually chose an obscure Christmas movie this year.

Listen in for more on these movies and several bonus recommendations!
