Missing Real with Mike D'Arrigo
Season 11 Episode 2: Xtro
Before I name the movie we'll be xploring in this episode, let me make it xplicitly clear that I can spell, OK? I don't feel I should have to xplain myself, but I have the most xtreme respect for my listeners. This movie, however, may test the limits of your own self-respect if, like me, you actually think it's great! It's Xtro! Yes, that's the correct spelling. Can we move on? It's sort of about extra-terrestrials (not the cute, abbreviated, Spielberg kid-friendly type), and a father who gets abducted by some sort of aliens that arrive in a big bright triangle. They're either come from outer space or a geometry class, it's never quite xplained. Not very much makes sense in this film, but it's a wild ride with gore, sex, rubber alien rapists, homicidal giant toys, heavy British accents, snakes, panthers, slimy eggs, inappropriate hickeys...am I forgetting anything here, let me think...ah, y'know what? Don't think! Just watch the movie, hear the podcast, and you'll have a most xtro-ordinary xperience!
