While breaking down the movie, they can’t help but detour into the absurdity of androids equipped with a deadly arsenal of rolled-up newspapers and the galactic-scale blunders of the engineers’ terraforming attempts.

Adding to the chaos, they explore the uncanny proliferation of Jai Courtney look-a-likes across sci-fi films, making for a rollercoaster of a discussion.
