December 13th, 1996. Sci-Fi satire Mars Attacks! blasts off into theaters, coming as closes as second place in the weekend box office rankings. Tim Burton's dark take on '50s drive-in alien invasion features proved to be a risky venture from Warner Brothers who put in $70 million dollars into the Topps' trading card brand adaptation. Unfortunately, it didn't pay off as the competition from the following week took Mars Attacks! out of the running entirely, with multiple bangers and mixed, confused reviews coming in after it's debut weekend. While not a success initially, Mars Attacks! has garnered a significant cult following over the following decades.

This week, Liam's joined by musician(the ax man behind that killer intro) and best friend in the whole world Jacob O' Brien (VolutedTadpole on Twitch) for this ACK ACK filled discussion. Early CGI, star studded casts, mean spirited political satire and...a possible stolen Howard Stern bit? It's Mars Attacks! this week... ON BOMBED!
