    When Celeste is making a case for the Earth. In her list of good things the Earth has that their home world does not one of the things she cites is children. This raises a fascinating question about these aliens. The council shows us that these aliens do age. Celeste even states that she is 1,296 years old and that her species reproduces by synthesis, which is basically cloning. However, despite the clone containing the same genetic makeup it does come out the exact age you are now or just quickly grow to your age and stop. It ages at a regular rate. Also it doesn't know what you know. It still has to learn every from speaking to motor skills. So even those they reproduce via synthesis there mus be a child phase when they are aging and learning, right?

    She seemed surprised that Willow was so short, so I'm guessing that their clones come out the exact age? Otherwise the concept of offspring going through a growing phase wouldn't have seemed so foreign (put'er in a brawr).

    When I first saw the strange woman at the bar that confronts Christopher Lambert I too thought she was wearing some kind of prosthetic. Later as she goes to confront him I realized this was not the case but that first scene when she's yelling at him from the table it looked that way to me. Maybe it was the red tinted lighting and the shadows or something, but my first thought was "Oh, this is Virginia Madsen in makeup trying to see if this really is Connor MacLeod." You're not alone Paul.

     

    I specifically came here to say the same thing. I thought it was VM, too. Granted, I really enjoyed the all shit they gave Paul for it, but still.

    I really enjoyed the part where Navy guy with the monitor asks Sam Shepard if they should send a search party out for Jessica Biel. In North Korea. "Son, we have no diplomatic relations with that country!" I want a whole other movie about why that guy wasn't immediately discharged for such a dumb question.

     

    I also don't understand why the Navy tech guy/EDI mechanic was allowed to look like he lived in the ship's basement. Fairly certain that neither his hair nor t-shirts were military-issue.

    I completely enjoyed this movie. Somehow I'd never seen it before. I paused it and downloaded the soundtrack at like 20 minutes in. I was in prime teenage years in 1995, so there was a nostalgia overload going on.

     

    The oral history said that with the costuming, they were going for "what kids would be wearing 15 minutes from now," so in a way the rash guard top made sense because I had surfer-inspired clothes and wetsuit-material clothes (I was nowhere near a beach, but the mall had a Pac-Sun).

    I work in aviation and I know a lot of regular dad-types with modest homes (i.e., poor garbage people) who have a fractional ownership in private planes. Shared expenses and all that. Don't know how common this was in 1987.

     

    Courtney Cox's character says she's getting on a plane and moving 3,000 miles away from it all, then the newspaper clipping about her parents says "California." (I paused it, I'm not proud.) So, not middle America, which is so weird to me.

     

    And finally, I lost my mind when I saw Pons "Fake Person" Maar in the credits.

    The "new" theme song is amazing. Whether it is rap, or whatever... listening to the theme song and catching all the references to past episodes is as fun as listening to the podcast. It's Cleveland Speight, if I am correct, and he did a masterful job putting together this track. If a country music, EDM, or punk rock outfit wants to submit what they think is a better intro, go ahead, I am sure they would consider it; but right now, this intro is unparalleled as a podcast intro theme song. HANDS DOWN.

     

    I agree about catching the references; I laugh every time he raps about June and the monkeys gettin' paid.
