    Skyline was the very first HDTGM episode I listened to, and I've been an avid listener ever since. I loved the Wicker Man episode where Liam O'Donnel calls in to clarify the craziness of the first movie and talk about the prospects of a sequel. I hope that the crew is geared up and ready to revisit.... hopefully its not as bad as the first one!

    Also, Pretzie talking about all the cartoon voice acting he's done through the years. At the 3:30m mark....

     

    "..I would sometimes do the voice for talking animals. Everything from a 900 pound gorilla to... several times I've done turtles, for some reason...."

     

    Zooks should get a prize for that callout. He probably at one point actually HEARD Pretzie as a turtle in something.

    I noticed a weird coincidence the first time I watched this movie the other day. When Ramsay asks which room Johnson is hiding out in the man on street replies "404." In HTTP status codes a 404 error means that a client is unable to communicate with a server. I'm sure we've all seen 404 - page not found errors before. Here's the strange part, the earliest version of HTTP was documented in 1991... 7 years after Runaway was released. Could the 404 error code be inspired by this movie of malfunctioning robots?

    Well not to get super nerdy and technical, but a 404 doesn't necessarily mean a communication error between the client and server... it really more means that the communication yielded an unexpected return in the form of missing content; the content was not available at the end point (either via misconfiguration on the server or a faulty address sent by the client). This is why when you hit some websites and get a 404, they will display specialized pages for that (like Bernie Sander's campaign page's 404 message). 500 error codes are usually reserved for client/server communication errors. If you get a 500 from a website, you aren't getting jack shit back.

     

    But I digress!! And I really, really hope this is the origin for HTTP error codes.

     

    Also, I didn't watch this movie. But the scene talking about the robot having a gun... I found too hilarious to miss out on. I am so glad someone put this on Youtube, because all I wanted to see was HOW the robot held the gun.

    When I was a kid, I used to love this movie. I thought Keno was awesome (get well soon, Ernie Reyes Jr!), and it was the perfect segue into Surf Ninjas and Three Ninjas (TMNT 2 being 91, 3 Ninjas being 92, and Surf Ninjas being 93...not to mention Sidekicks with Chuck Norris, also out in 92. ALL 4 of those movies are HDTGM worthy). Looking back at it now, yes it is awful.... but it STILL doesn't hold a candle to the abomination that is TMNT 3.

     

    Seriously, fuck that movie.
