Description

Using technology to get a second chance at life is one of the  great themes of sci fi, from Frankenstein to Charly to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. But sometimes it's the movies themselves that need a second chance!  Tonight we take a look at two films that came with great pedigrees, but somehow failed to find their audience, and ask if they deserve another shot!  First up is George Segal in Micchael Chrichton's The Terminal Man, followed by Matt Damon in Alexander Payne's Downsizing!

Three industry professionals, Chris Nichols, Daniel Thron, and Erick Schiele gather biweekly to talk obsessively about their favorite films, share insider stories on moviemaking, and drink some mighty fine cocktails. In this podcast, there's no kind of film we don't love, and everything is on the table from Infinity War and A Star is Born to Alphaville and Eraserhead. So if you like your opinions served up as strong as your drinks, then sidle up to the bar, my friend, and enjoy the expertly mixed, lovingly crafted hot takes of Martini Giant.
